Sometimes there are products you never knew you needed until they happen. Take Marvel's hip-hop album cover variants, for example. That's right, Marvel has created hip-hop cover variants featuring the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Howard the Duck, Ms. Marvel and more.

The Marvel tributes to iconic rap and hip-hop albums will not just be a token gesture, as Marvel will release more than 50 variant covers. "Beginning this October, we will shine a spotlight on the seamless relationship between those two unique forces when we unveil the first of more than fifty variant covers, each of which pays tribute to an iconic album cover from the past 30 years that shaped pop culture over the past three decades," Axel Alonso, Marvel editor-in-chief, said in a statement.

For "Invincible Iron Man" #1, the hip-hop variant is an homage to "Get Rich or Die Trying" by 50 Cent. The "Ant-Man" #1 variant by Mark Brooks is a tribute to "Ready to Die" by Notorious B.I.G.

Doctor Strange is reimagined as Dr. Dre, while the X-Men become De La Soul. Some of the pairings are pure strokes of genius. We're big fans of Howard the Duck as Ol' Dirty Bastard and Squirrel Girl as Tyler the Creator is another inspired pairing.
