Most Coincidental Timing Ever
Marvel's
March solicits are up.

has already beat me to mocking the project that most needed mocking,
but this is pretty cringe-inducing as well:
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #54 & 55
Written by
Brian Michael Bendis

“Spider-Man:
The Movie” Parts 1 & 2 (of 5)
A major movie studio is making an unauthorized summer blockbuster about
Spider-Man, and the Ultimate wall-crawler swings by the set to give the
producers a piece of his mind. But someone else is even hotter about
being in the film than Spidey — Doctor Octopus — who just may shut the
production down if he doesn’t get final edit!
- New story
arc! Two issues!!
- Guest-starring
director Sam Raimi, actor Toby Maguire & producer Avi Arad!
Marvel: We will attempt to ride the coattails of mainstream
celebrities in any way we can. Jesus. Just when I thought
Marvel couldn't get any more desperate with its endless
Spider-Man
2-related tie-ins for the Spider-books. Let's hope the
story is as classy and entertaining as that backup feature
"guest-starring" Jay Leno.
