Metro Boomin is starting the Metroverse.
Metro Boomin is not new to the superhero subgenre; he participated in the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse album and had a cameo in the actual film. Now he will be starting his own comic book universe as Metro Boomin transforms into a Metroverse superhero. The limited edition product will be sold in 4,000 units when the issue goes on sale. The Metro Boomin press release synopsis for The Rise #1 comes as follows:
Care, True Believers! Prepare for a fantastic journey across The Metroverse! Metro Boomin, our hero, battles The Suit, a malicious media mogul with dark abilities and even worse plans in this explosive first issue.
New Comic Book Venture of Metro Boomin
Award-winning producer Metro Boomin is creating his own Comic Book universe. Recently caught in the crossfire of Kendrick Lamar and Drake's rap conflict over the past few months, the genius behind Across the Spider-Verse found himself Kendrick retaliated by ordering Metro to keep out of their business and instead "make some drums" on the song "Push Ups," after Metro produced his "Like That" diss track to the Canadian rapper.
Metro Boomin is eager to put all of that controversy behind him now, as seen in a preview posted on Metroverse.media, with his Metroverse, which starts with Metro Boomin, Vasilis Lolos, Fred Stresing, Micah Myers, Vincent King, and Josh Frankel. Below are Lolos' cover art, Vincent Kings' variation cover, and an additional page and packaging peek for the launch.
Metro Boomin flips a negative into a positive.
Metro Boomin was not personally involved in the conflict between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, yet it has started to define both Metro and his work. Through his successful recordings, someone like Metro has ruled the rap scene for far too long to allow a little conflict define his work. He can best turn the story in a favorable direction with this Metroverse initiative. While former supporters may come back to applauding Metro Boomin for his inventiveness rather than his part in something unpleasant, anyone who found him through this beef can now re-discover him in a different way.
Metro Boomin: The Rise #1 formally starts sales on June 14.
Master of media manipulation and business corruption, The Suit aims to subjugate the city by lies and terror.
But standing in his path is Metro Boomin, armed with unequaled inventiveness and his miraculous amulet, he battles back with the strength of his beats and willpower.
The first issue will reveal the deeper darkness beneath The Suit and highlight Metro Boomin's Superhero origin tale. Based on the solicit, it seems as though The Suit will represent how the corporate music business could suppress artistic ability, therefore corrupting that skill. Metro Boomin will be the hero who illuminates the gloom in popular music in meantime. Metro Boomin's limited edition Comic Book box will arrive with one enamel pin and one art print along with an autographed variant cover limited to 300.
There are a lot of cameos and references across the Spider-Verse, some of which are deep cuts fans might have missed.
The movie had both a financial and a critical triumph. The filmmakers made the viewers laugh as they made the topics and characters of the movie appealing. Given that the appeal of the movie mostly derived on the animation, they did an excellent job making it. The audience was laughing in the movie, hence the creators should rightfully get a lot of praise.
The follow-up to the movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, will surely be equally beloved. The comeback of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy thrillers viewers. Miles will surely find The Spot, the new villain, challenging.
