ImageThis is a variant cover of Daredevil #8, shipping to all Diamond retail accounts, one per store. It features a can of the SK Energy drink with Daredevil livery upon it. What's going on here? To Wikipedia!

Street King is a flavored energy drink created by rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Pure Growth Partners. Jackson partnered with Pure Growth Partners' Founder and CEO Chris Clarke to launch the product, which through the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), provides a meal for a child in Africa with each shot purchased. The product is manufactured and distributed by Street King LLC in New York, NY. The drink is sold in 74-millilitre (2.5 US fl oz) shots which contain a caffeine amount of 285 mg, comparable to that of 2-3 cups of coffee. Street King is available in orange, mango and grape.

Presumably we'll be seeing Daredevil appearing on the cans as well? Possibly in time for the release of the Netflix series? And is this the first time there's been such a transparent product shot on the cover of a comic?
