Article Summary

• Josemaria Casanovas pays homage to Jim Lee's X-Men #1 with a new Ultimate Comics line cover.
• His famous connective covers have appeared in Star Wars: Dark Droids and Thunderbolts.
• The homage includes Marvel's Ultimates, Spider-Man, and Black Panther in November and December.
• Spotlight on new Ultimate Universe characters as the Maker's arrival approaches.

Josemaria Casanovas loves a connective cover, such as this one he did for Marvel's Star Wars: Dark Droids crossover and then for subsequent issues of Thunderbolts.

Well, it turns out for the current connective covers for the Ultimate Comics line, he's going for a homage to the most famous of them, the Jim Lee connective cover for 1991's X-Men #1. Which has recently returned for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Valiant Universe.

There is one left, presumably with The Maker in the space that Magneto took in the original.

And its original artwork, which sold for a pretty penny recently.

So, talking of the X-Men…

…is that meant to be an Ultimate Wolverine on the Ultimate X-Men cover?

He was teased over a year ago…
