MARVEL COMICS ROUNDUP

Marvel Comics has unveiled Foilogram variant covers to Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, Ultimate Comics Avengers #1 and Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #1.

The covers are part foil and part hologram.

"This is Marvel doing the nineties right," said David Gabriel, Marvel Comics' senior vice president of sales and 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."

Ultimate Comics Avengers #1 and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 will be in stores on August 12, and Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #1 will be in stores on Sept. 16.

In other Marvel news, the publisher has announced that Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesada are collaborating on a six-page story in Amazing Spider-Man #601.

In the story, Peter Parker and his old classmate Jessica Jones reflect on their life together in high school as Jessica comes to a major decision about her future with the team, following up on the events of New Avengers #51.

The issue features covers by J. Scott Campbell and John Romita Jr. and will be in stores on August 9.
