Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Pencils & Cover by Mark Bagley
"Arachnoman" Part 1 (of 1)
As fever creeps across a worldwide audience in anticipation of the Spider-Man 2 movie this June, fans caught a glimpse of their favorite wall-crawler’s reaction to the making of a film based on Spider-Man’s life in the Ultimate Universe this spring! Featuring guest-stars like Avi Arad and Tobey Maguire in the comic book, “Spider-Man: Hollywood” was a first-class affair, and is now collected as Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 10.
Little-known to fans, there was a second, more insidious film, Arachnoman, that was planned, but never completed! Arachnoman, the unlicensed, unofficial Spider-Man movie was a much different affair, and was never released to the public. Now, for the ONLY time, get a copy of this unseen take on Arachnoman! Re-scripted over the same great Mark Bagley artwork, Arachnoman was printed as a limited edition and will be available in limited quantities! Get your Bendis! Get your Bagley!

Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Pencils & Cover by David Finch
For years, Professor Charles Xavier has championed the peaceful relationship between mutants and humans. But with growing racism and paranoia, the President of the United States decides that Xavier -- with his mysterious psychic powers and shrouded background -- might be the bigger problem. The President's solution: get the U.S. Government involved in the mutant-training business. With the help of Emma Frost, the President handpicks a class of "New Mutants" to serve his political agenda -- including Dazzler, Karma, Havok and Polaris. But who is this mysterious Emma Frost and what is her connection to Xavier? Collects Ultimate X-Men #40-45.

"Arachnoman" Part 1 (of 1)
As fever creeps across a worldwide audience in anticipation of the Spider-Man 2 movie this June, fans caught a glimpse of their favorite wall-crawler’s reaction to the making of a film based on Spider-Man’s life in the Ultimate Universe this spring! Featuring guest-stars like Avi Arad and Tobey Maguire in the comic book, “Spider-Man: Hollywood” was a first-class affair, and is now collected as Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 10.
Little-known to fans, there was a second, more insidious film, Arachnoman, that was planned, but never completed! Arachnoman, the unlicensed, unofficial Spider-Man movie was a much different affair, and was never released to the public. Now, for the ONLY time, get a copy of this unseen take on Arachnoman! Re-scripted over the same great Mark Bagley artwork, Arachnoman was printed as a limited edition and will be available in limited quantities! Get your Bendis! Get your Bagley!
