McGuiness and McNiven Cover 'Ultimate Comics Spider-Man'


Marvel premiered the covers for the Ultimate Comics Spider-Man issues that are leading up to next year’s “Death of Spider-Man” storyline. This one is as confounding as those double rainbows. I stopped reading this book a long time ago, but will probably be picking this up out of interest.

Ed McGuiness handled the cover for Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #153 (above) and Steve McNiven’s handiwork can be found on the cover of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #154 (below).

I think that if Brian Michael Bendis were to say “I think I’m done here” then this would be the perfect time to close shop on the book because it is so uniquely his voice.  Could you imagine another writer on Powers or Alias? Call it what you want, Ultimate Spider-Man or Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, they wouldn’t enjoy the same longevity without Bendis.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #153 is scheduled for release on February 2, 2011.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #154 is scheduled for release on February 23, 2011.
