Earlier this morning, I tweeted about wanting to bring back the Afterschool Special. Of all the things we’ve been revisiting from the 80′s, I feel like we need that shit now more than ever. Especially if the below video is any indication.

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself partial to Nickelback, but I’ve never understood the seething hatred a lot of people have for them. I could understand being all-around indifferent, or at most, having a general dislike for them. But when Detroit citizens are so enraged at the idea of them performing at a Detroit Lions halftime show, that they almost 60,000 of them signed a petition to get them removed, is it really that deep?!?

In response to this “outrage”, New York musician Scott Bradlee thought it’d be cool to cover one the band’s first big hits, “How You Remind Me”, and give it a sound that might go over a little better.

In a blend of comics and hip-hop, Tumblr site Longboxes On 22′s takes your favorite superheroes and pairs them up with new and classic hip-hop album covers. Some of the match-ups are pretty ingenious, and I’ve picked my top ten.

#10. Superboy – Thank Me Later

Young Justice + Young Money. A decent effort, if nothing else.

#9. Ol’ Dirty Baron – Nazi Please

This one’s just hilarious. Nothing like a fascist super-villain with a Jheri Curl to brighten up your day!

#8. Digable Lanterns – Ringin’

Definitely one of the more inventive pairings. Especially with a Lantern that is, in fact, a planet.

#7. Capt-M – Kingdom Come

Would anything else really be more fitting?

#6. Batman – In My Lifetime, Year One

This one trumps Capt-M for me by virtue of it drawing from my favorite Jay-Z album for inspiration, as well as me being partial to Batman.

#5. DDevil – All Eyez On Me

Yeah, he might be throwin’ it up to the Westside, but like Tupac, DD’s East Coast, first and foremost.

#4. Thor – Thou Art Too Legit For Thy To Quit

The only way it could have been better is if I could imagine Thor doin’ the Typewriter dance in parachute pants . . . But Deadpool already beat ‘em to it!

#3. War Machine – Only Built 4 Armor Linx

Between Iron Man doing the Ghostface pose and the Avenger’s emblem hangin’ in the back, that’s what’s up.

#2. Dr. Octopus

Arguably one of the most seamless blends of a comic character with the original album cover. Dr. Octagon would be proud.

#1. Spider-Man – Illmazing

One of the first entries on the site, and still the best, in my opinion. Science geek or not, you could almost imagine a young Peter Parker bumpin’ Nas’ first CD as he looked out his bedroom window.

At this extremely stage, the most enjoyment we’re going to get out of this Disney/Marvel team-up is playing the game of imaginary crossovers. But while most of us are busy mocking them, a few truly talented folks are mocking them up:

We know we’re going to hell for posting this one, but the title speaks for itself…
