The ‘Monster’ rapper has its face on another Marvel comic book venture. This time he is seen battling with Spiderman in a cipher. On November 22nd, 2022, hustl., announced a new collaboration for the release of ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ #1 (Legacy #895) with a limited edition cover variant.

The loose biopic of Eminem had the last battle, where he and the other rappers are seen in a cypher. In the crowd, we can see Luke Cage, Ghost-Spider, Daredevil, and others. Eminem shared the news on his social media platforms captioning the post, “Like Spider-Man crawlin’ upside of a wall. HONORED to be on the official variant of The Amazing Spider-Man (2022).”
The Chief Operating Officer of hustl., Keri Harris said, “It’s truly an honor to be able to bring Eminem and Spider-Man to fans slinging raps on this official Marvel variant cover.

Twitter Was Sent Into A Frenzy Looking At This Cross-Over
In 2015, Eminem said that he has always been a comics nerd. Marshall said, “I’ve always been into comic books. Spiderman, Hulk, old Batmans, Supermans — mostly vintage Marvel s**t from before I was born. “
He continued, “Just being able to have those pieces of history is crazy. I would not want to face off with somebody comparing comic book knowledge, but I know a pretty good amount.” Twitter was “tripping balls” looking at this collaboration.
It’s awesome to see someone like him who has a huge love for comics and nerd culture get opportunities like this. You know he’s big into when Ed Sheeran talks about how they just talk about avengers for 4 hrs straight when they first met😄🤓

Do #Eminem fans realize that Marshall is only on the COVER of this SpiderMan comicbook, not a character in the book at all ?
Just checking cause some Stans are tripping balls on Saturn right now #calmdown pic.twitter.com/sATyoziOYu
