On July 29, we will get the final issue of Ultimatum. We'll finally get to see what will be left of the Ultimate Universe. Then in August we will see the debut of some new Ultimate comics. Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 and Ultimate Comics Avengers #1 both will be on sale August 12 followed by Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #1 on September 16. To help usher in these new titles, Marvel is debuting a new type of variant cover.
Prepare yourself for the FOILOGRAM cover. What exactly is a FOILOGRAM cover? Try to think back to the 90s (hopefully you won't have a bad flashback). A Foilogram cover will be part foil, part hologram. It is said that these "reflective covers will jump at you from shelves."
Marvel assures us that this will only be done on a limited basis. They plan to use them to mark 'very special' occasions. No word on if there will be a price difference. All three issues are listed with a $3.99 price tag. Hopefully you'll be able to find these cool-sounding covers at cover price.
Check out the non-enhance versions of the Foilogram covers:

Watch as Spider-Man’s webbing catches the light! Examine the intricate technology of Tony Stark! And, yes, that’s Captain America’s shield shining back at you!
“This is Marvel doing the nineties right,” explained David Gabriel, Marvel Comics Senior Vice President of Sales & 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!

" lol loving the classicness of this but ultimate universe lost its apeal awhile ago for me "i agree with you, except, im gonna give these new titles a chance....i wanna see what changes they have made, see how this universe looks like etc etc... i cant wait
Horrible, horrible idea. Man, wasn't a whole decade enough to live through the crap foil stuff that plagued comics and baseball cards?

" IDK why but dosen't catch my attention... "The actual comic will look different. This is just a normal scan. If there's hologramish stuff, it'll look more...special.
that seams cool... now if only they could get filgram on the interior... hmm?
Seriously though, this seams like a cool idea. l like that Armor wars pic.
