But both Ultimate Comics: Ultimates and Ultimate Comics: Hawkeye will ship with a "chase" signature in a limited number of copies, hidden by the polybag. Again, nothing new, both Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #160 and[...]

It'd be nice to see the numbers spread out a little bit more, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.
