JONATHAN HICKMAN + MARCO CHECCHETTO

MAKE THE MOST DARING STORYTELLING CHOICE IN SPIDER-MAN HISTORY IN ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1!

Check out R.B Silva’s ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 Second Printing Variant Cover and Marco Checchetto’s ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1, each spotlighting the bold twist Hickman and Checchetto have introduced in their new run.

SPOILER WARNING FOR ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1, on sale today!

They said it would never happen. They said it couldn’t be done. Yet in today’s ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1, Marvel readers saw Uncle Ben alive and well! The debut issue of Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s new ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN series was packed with startling revelations, including this sharp storytelling turn for one of pop culture’s most famous super hero origin stories and most notable deaths!

In ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1, fans met an older Peter Parker who despite his heroic nature, never became Spider-Man! Instead he’s a devoted husband to Mary Jane, a dedicated father to two kids, and works at the Daily Bugle alongside his beloved uncle—BEN PARKER! Having never fell victim to a burglar’s senseless crime, the Uncle Ben of this new Ultimate Universe plays an active role is his nephew’s adult life, inspiring him in a very different—but no less impactful—way than the late Uncle Ben does for the main universe’s Peter Parker. Now, thanks to intervention from Tony Stark, Peter is reclaiming a life that was stolen from him and beginning his career as Spider-Man. Uncle Ben will be an important figure in the new ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN saga as Ben, an award-winning journalist, and his trusted partner and friend J. Jonah Jameson pursue the truth of this corrupt world and the unrest that’s stirring around every corner–starting with discovering the identity of the newly emerged Green Goblin!

“This is a Peter Parker who not only didn’t get bit by a spider when he was a teenager, but a Peter Parker who also never lost his Uncle Ben,” Editor Wil Moss said. “Now that he has become Spider-Man when he’s a full-grown adult, how will having Ben in his life affect who he is as a hero? It’s a fundamental shift in the Spider-Man mythos, and Jonathan and Marco are really going to surprise you with how it affects Spider-Man’s journey as a hero, I guarantee.”

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN is the first launch in Marvel’s new Ultimate line that was born out of Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch’s Ultimate Invasion series. The saga began with the Maker, one of the final survivors of the doomed Ultimate Universe, travelling back in time on a parallel Earth to create a world without heroes. He succeeded in preventing various iconic heroes from achieving their destiny and ruled this world in secret through various global factions. Now, he’s vanished and a secret war has broken out across the planet to shape what will happen to his kingdom. Some want to control the world. Some want to free it. After discovering the dark truth, a young Tony Stark embarks on a ambitious mission to make things right, starting with gifting a certain genetically enhanced arachnid to a man named Peter Parker! Filled with modern takes on classic Marvel ideas and characters, the new Ultimate Universe is ripe for rich storytelling and a perfect evolution of the Ultimate brand. See it grow and develop in upcoming issues of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER, and March’s ULTIMATE X-MEN along with more Ultimate titles launching in the months ahead.

The second printing of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 will conveniently hit stands on the same day as ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #2. Check out R.B. Silva’s new cover, along with the cover for April’s ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #4 and preorder, both today at your local comic shop! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Coachtopia = Circularity

Coachtopia invites its global community to embark on a journey towards fashion’s circular future with The Road to Circularity—a new docuseries that goes behind the scenes of Coachtopia to shed light on rarely documented aspects of the global fashion industry. Launching today with its first episode, hosted by visual storyteller, sustainable fashion advocate and Coachtopia community member Aditi Mayer, the series charts a course across the globe to discover the extraordinary people and partners who are collaborating with Coachtopia to develop the ideas that are making circularity at scale a possibility. From the outset, the series takes a frank look at the problems facing the fashion industry and the mindset shifts required to tackle them—to pioneer circular solutions for the future.

“Since the founding of Coachtopia, we’ve been working closely with a wide range of inspiring young leaders through our Beta Community—and we have heard how frustrating fashion’s lack of transparency can be to this generation,” says Joon Silverstein, SVP, Global Marketing and Sustainability at Coach, and Head of Coachtopia. “That’s why we launched this docuseries The Road to Circularity—to go places where fashion doesn’t typically go, to explore the challenges facing our industry, and to show what it means to reconsider the usual fashion narratives and systems with circularity in mind. We’re excited to share our work-in-progress because we know that to tackle climate change, we can’t be afraid to take bold if imperfect steps—and to be honest about how far we have to go. It’s our way of using brand storytelling to shed light on bigger issues and to spark conversations that have an impact beyond Coachtopia.”

In Episode 1, “Making with Waste,” we join Mayer in Chennai, India, to visit KH Exports, a family-run leather manufacturing company that has been working with Coach since 1987—and which Coachtopia has challenged to reimagine Coach’s leather waste as a unique raw material. As Mayer follows KH’s craft processes, from the careful sorting of waste in its “leather scrap yard” through to product prototyping, material design, production and more, she not only explores the possibilities of making with waste but uncovers the personal stories of the community of designers, craftspeople and producers that are tackling some of these challenges with passion and ingenuity.

As she does so, she learns more about the innovative techniques behind Coachtopia’s Upcrushed™ Upcrafted Leather, which, using heat and pressure, transforms irregular scraps of leather waste leftover from Coach production into beautiful, suede-like materials, each with a unique pattern and finish. She also discovers the many ways in which the path to circularity requires both brands and consumers to challenge perceived notions—for example, the idea of “perfection” in fashion. “It’s startling to think that, because of our cultural mindset around perfection, the natural grain of leather can be seen as a defect, leading to more waste,” says Mayer, as she talks to members from KH’s production team. “It makes me realize that circularity is not just about changing the way we make, but changing the way we think.”

As the series continues, The Road to Circularity will continue to tell stories like these—with the goal of helping to accelerate change by challenging the predominant narratives of how fashion is produced and consumed.

“Coachtopia began with the inquiry of whether we can minimize the use of virgin raw materials in fashion,” says Mayer. “It’s been fascinating learning about how that quest translates to every part of the supply chain: from sorting, designing, to quality control. It reveals how circularity isn’t just a shift in operations, it also demands that brands and storytellers alike champion a new culture: one that rewrites how we view ‘waste.’”

Episode 1 of The Road to Circularity, made in partnership with production company Special Order and director Christina Burchard, will be released today on Coachtopia’s social channels with the next episodes to follow later this year.

Launched in April 2023, Coachtopia is a sub-brand focused on circular craft and collaborative creativity, catalyzing the brand’s progress towards a fully circular business model. Harnessing more than 80 years of Coach leather expertise, Coachtopia reimagines the product lifecycle from end to beginning—reducing the creation of new materials by crafting with waste and designing products that can be reimagined, remade and recycled to live multiple lives.

Unleash the Shine

Top 5 Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Your Ferrari

Owning a Ferrari comes with a passion for perfection, and maintaining that impeccable exterior is a non-negotiable mission. If you’re on the hunt for the secret to preserving your prancing horse’s showroom shine, consider the best Ferrari ceramic coating. This magical shield not only locks in the gleam but offers a myriad of benefits that go beyond the ordinary. Let’s dive into the top 5 reasons why the best Ferrari ceramic coating is a game-changer for your beloved ride.

1. Gleaming Perfection that Lasts

Picture this: your Ferrari, bathed in sunlight, gleaming like a polished gem on the road. Ceramic coating is like a magical shield that locks in that showroom shine. It forms a protective layer over the paint, shielding it from the harsh elements like UV rays, bird droppings, and tree sap.

You see, ceramic coating is not just a one-time dazzler. It’s the long-term commitment your Ferrari deserves. Unlike traditional waxes that wear off after a few weeks, ceramic coating can endure the test of time, keeping your ride looking as pristine as the day you drove it off the lot.

2. Say Goodbye to Nasty Scratches

Let’s face it – scratches are the nemesis of every car owner. One careless moment, and your Ferrari’s flawless finish is marred. Here’s where ceramic coating flexes its superhero muscles. It forms a protective barrier that acts as a shield against minor scratches and swirl marks.

Now, this doesn’t mean you can go all Fast and Furious with your keychain. However, it does mean that the day-to-day nicks and scrapes won’t leave a lasting mark on your beloved Ferrari. So, you can drive with peace of mind, knowing that your car’s exterior is fortified against the little bumps and scrapes that life throws your way.

3. Water, Water Everywhere – and Not a Spot in Sight

Have you ever noticed those annoying water spots that appear after a rainfall? They can be a real eyesore on your Ferrari’s glossy finish. Ceramic coating acts as a hydrophobic barrier, repelling water and preventing those unsightly spots from forming.

It’s like giving your car a forcefield against water damage. Rain or shine, your Ferrari will stay looking sharp, and you won’t have to spend hours drying and detailing after every rain shower. Convenience and beauty – talk about a win-win!

4. Easy-Breezy Cleaning

We get it – spending hours detailing your Ferrari is not everyone’s idea of a good time. With ceramic coating, cleaning becomes a breeze. The slick surface it creates makes dirt and grime less likely to stick, allowing you to effortlessly wipe away the mess.

Say goodbye to elbow grease and hello to a quicker, more enjoyable cleaning routine. Your Ferrari deserves to spend more time on the open road than in the garage, and ceramic coating helps make that a reality.

5. Resale Value Boost

Let’s talk about the long game. Investing in ceramic coating not only protects your Ferrari’s beauty but also adds value in the resale market. Potential buyers are drawn to a well-maintained, shiny exterior, and ceramic coating signals that your Ferrari has been pampered and cared for.

So, when the time comes to part ways with your prancing horse, you’ll not only have memories of thrilling rides but also a boosted resale value that reflects the care and attention you’ve lavished on your Ferrari.

In conclusion, ceramic coating is more than just a luxury for your Ferrari; it’s an investment in the longevity and allure of your prized possession. With its protective prowess and long-lasting benefits, ceramic coating ensures that your Ferrari remains a head-turner on the road for years to come. Give your Ferrari the gift of a radiant shield – because it deserves nothing but the best.
