Yes, that does say the Sensational Spider-Prime on the cover. Makes sense for the time period. Malibu is now under Marvel's ownership and all new characters in the Marvel Universe had to have so tangent Spider-Man appearances. This would be a very confusing issue then and now for a casual reader. I am scant on issues of Prime in my new Ultraverse collecting group. I do understand that this comes directly off the big Infinity/Black September event that combined the two companies. So we have Spider-Prime.
Kevin is our Spider-Prime. Knowing that he is really Prime helps because there is also Prime in this comicbook. So that could be confusing. I think that this was one of the things that hurt the Ultraverse. They were just shoehorned in and seems to never really have a chance at succeeding. The entire story is weird and confusing. Not really lighting a fire for the few issues that might follow.
Still, this is partly why I am collecting these books. There are some interesting things in gathering the remnants of what could have been a great company had they been able to become powerful enough to compete with the big two. Still, if you are looking to start a Prime collection, begin with Volume 1.

Welcome to the new Monday posts called Mutant X Mondays. Because of the natural break and the desire to finish out some Mantra Issues she will be taking a hiatus for a bit. I do plan on collecting the issue post in one area soon. I am cheating a little this Monday in the hopes of getting ahead with some timed posts by using the Flashback Friday post to kickoff our look at Mutant X. It is a bit timely as Howard Mackie is doing work on the Second Wave DC book, The Ravagers. So click the big bold Mutant X and read what I said about issue one.
