Press Release
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!
