Posted on by

hustl. announced today that iconic Japanese metal band Babymetal will join Marvel Zombies on a limited-edition variant cover to celebrate the release of Marvel Zombies: War Zone #1.

The song was originally released on their record-breaking fourth-studio album Metal Forth, which made its debut last year at #9 on the Billboard 200, marking the band’s first-ever U.S. Top 10 album and the first time in history that an all-Japanese fronted group has made this list.

The 3,500 copy limited run features art from Phil Noto and is available now for pre-order through the Capitol Records online store, and for the hobby market though hustl. It will be available for pre-order in Japan on September 7th. The original comic with standard cover is available in comic shops starting September 2nd.
