by Brendan M. Allen
Sports and entertainment collectibles group hustl. has announced its eighth exclusive variant cover that features world class athletes and entertainers alongside iconic Marvel characters, on official Marvel Comics releases.
Legendary rapper and hip hop icon, The Notorious B.I.G. will once again be featured on an official Marvel limited edition variant cover, this time with Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine to celebrate the release of Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII #3.
This special variant comic cover from hustl. features art from Salvador Larroca and is available for purchase now in very limited quantities at this link. The release is limited to 3,000 books, with an additional spotlight virgin variant of 1,000 books.
The Notorious B.I.G. returns to Marvel Comics as the undisputed mayoral figure of Brooklyn. On his streets, he plays the diplomatic peacemaker, living out his iconic lyrics, “Spread Love, It’s the Brooklyn Way.” In Biggie’s second variant cover appearance, he comes back to break up the animosity between Deadpool and Wolverine on the very streets he helped build. Biggie is not in the story or series.
2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the iconic song Juicy and Biggie’s legendary debut album, Ready to Die. Throughout his iconic career, Biggie won three Billboard Music Awards including Rap Artist of the Year in 1995, four The Source Hip Hop Music Awards, and one MTV Video Music Award. Big Poppa’s lyrical genius was recognized by both Rolling Stone and Billboard with both publications labeling him as “the greatest rapper that ever lived” and “the greatest rapper of all time” respectively. The King of New York was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, and in 2024, the Library of Congress inducted his album, Ready To Die into the National Recording Registry.
