Ultimate cover story: At Silver Bullet Comic Books, artist Mark Bagley addresses the problem of those annoyingly generic Ultimate Spider-Man covers:

"They’ve been bugging me for a while also. At first, the idea was to use a Spidey figure incorporated with a photo background. Very soon though, that became unwieldy and we started doing the poster shots. For quite a while I didn’t trust the cover colorist to do much more than a single figure and a simple background, but now that Richard Isanove has come aboard - he is really something special - I’m really trying to add more elements to the coves and to make them more reflective of the book’s contents."
