Marvel Introduces Groundbreaking Foilogram Covers on ULTIMATE COMICS

Marvel is pleased to unveil the special variant covers to Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, Ultimate Comics Avengers #1 and Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #1 utilizing the brand-new Foilogram cover treatment! Part foil, part hologram, these reflective covers will jump at you from shelves! Watch as Spider-Man’s webbing catches the light! Examine the intricate technology of Tony Stark! And, yes, that’s Captain America’s shield shining back at you!

“This is Marvel doing the nineties right,” explained David Gabriel, Marvel Comics Senior Vice President of Sales & Circulation. “We’re taking two of the most popular cover treatments of all time—foil and holograms—to create an all new kind of cover, as a ‘thank-you’ to fans who’ve been demanding this kind of variant! Retailers and fans don't need to worry. We're only doing this on a limited basis. You won't see one on Ms Marvel #46 or Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers #4. We're using them to mark very special occasions…such as the launch of Ultimate Comics line.”

As the Ultimate Comics line launches with Marvel’s top characters and top creators, you can’t miss the star-studded Ultimate Comics Avengers #1, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 and Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #1, now with Foilogram Variant Covers! Fans, speak to your retailers now about how to secure one of these variant covers!

Doing the 90s right is still doing the 90s.

Whomever these fans are, I hate them.

This is awesome! Apparently we all woke up in 1992.

Why is that awesome, you ask? Because I can send myself an email telling me that in about a year I'm going to have an opportunity to have a threesome and that I need to recognize that opportunity when it happens and take advantage so I don't spend the next fifteen years kicking myself for not being smart enough to see what was going on.

Also, I'm going to tell myself to buy Apple stock while it is nice and low.

Thanks Marvel!
