I swear, the people behind Marvel’s Ultimate Comics relaunch are just messing with me now. It’s not enough that Brian Michael Bendis’ press call about the second Ultimate Comics Spider-Man relaunch sounded just like his first two years earlier, now we have this from the press release about the covers for the new books, from editor Mark Paniccia:
