Minimates Take Over The Cover of Amazing Spider-Man #1

Posted on May 1, 2014 at 11:17 am by Joe Moore under Marvel Toy News, Minimates Toy News

This is a cool trend I can get behind, seeing toys make the covers of their comic book counterparts. In this case, it’s artwork based on the toys. The Marvel Minimates have invaded Marvel Comics and they are featured on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #1. Check out the details below:

 Marvel Minimates Mix It Up on the Cover to Amazing Spider-Man #1!

Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Minimates line has been Minimate-izing everyone’s favorite Marvel superheroes since 2003, when the very first assortment was released. So it’s only fitting that the first Marvel Minimates-themed comic book cover is of the line’s most frequently made character: The Amazing Spider-Man!

Diamond Comic Distributors and Diamond Select Toys have teamed with Marvel Comics to offer a variant cover of Marvel’s all-new Amazing Spider-Man #1. Limited to a 6,000 unit print run with cover art by lead Minimates designer Barry Bradfield, this issue is available now, exclusively through retailers who will be attending the Diamond Retailer Summit in Las Vegas. The cover depicts the web-slinger battling Electro in the rigging of a TV studio, and was inspired by the cover to 1970’s Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #82.

Inside the issue, the greatest superhero of all time returns, as Peter Parker resumes the role of Spider-Man! The world may have changed since Spidey’s been gone, but so has Peter Parker – this is a man with a second chance at life, and he’s not wasting a moment of it. Putting the “friendly” back in the neighborhood, the “hero” back into “superhero,” and the “amazing” back into “Spider-Man,” Peter has the same Parker luck but a new Parker attitude. Also returning: The recharged and reenergized Electro!

Look for the variant cover (item #DEC138451) at your local comic shop! Find one at http://www.comicshoplocator.com!

    Sales had absolutly nothing to do with it, or everything depending on your point of view. The movie comes out this week and they need all the comics to match what is in the movies so all the little kiddies see the same character in the comics as the movies. Has been done since the X-men and Blade movies came out. The x-men all got black leather outfits in the comics when the first movie came out. Spidey got organic web shooters in the comics when the first Rami movie came out. Blade was made a half breed thanks to Morbius when the Blade movie came out. Bullseye went bald with a head target scar when Daredevil came out. Captain America- Steve Rogers, came back from the dead and Bucky stopped being Cap when the First Cap movie came out. And now Peter Parker is back to being Spidey in the Classic outfit just in time to match what is in the movie. AND Electro now looks more like the movie version too. Not to mention that there is now an Agent Coulson and a black Nick Fury (Jr. actually -Furys lost son) in the regular marvel universe. Marvel messes with the comics to suit the movies all the time because the movies make so much money compared to the comic sales.
