Method Man Wrote a 'Ghost Rider' Christmas Comic Book For Marvel

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Seasons greetings from Method Man and Marvel. The Wu-Tang assassin and the comic book giant crossed streams this past summer when Mef guest-starred on a few episodes of Netflix's smash series, Luke Cage. He even collaborated with the show's music supervisors, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge on a fittingly bulletproof anthem.

Today Mef and Marvel up their connection by unveiling a new tier to the Staten Island rapper's artistry: comic book writer. You read it right. According to Complex, Method Man is at the helm of a new seasonally-appropriate release from Marvel, writing a new installment of Ghost Rider that pits Robby Reyes against definitive Christmas villain, Krampus. It's out as a digital spread today with illustrations from Anthony Piper and Balak, and cover art from Jamal Campbell.

Head on over to Marvel to scoop your copy of the digital release today and hold tight for word on a physical release. At this point, if there's one thing we know well it's that hip-hop and comics won't be untangling themselves anytime soon. Peep Marvel's recent batch of variant covers for any further proof. Jump to Complex to peep some exclusive panels from the new release.
