Writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Marco Checchetto are launching anew Ultimate Spider-Man in January which features Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson as a married couplewith two kids. And to celebrate, fan favorite cover artist J. Scott Campbell has created a cover that brings Pete and MJ together in love - a nice change of pace from his well known image of Peter leaving MJ to worry over him as he swings off as Spider-Man.

The interesting twist on the new Ultimate Spider-Man’s take on Peter and MJ’s relationship is that, in the new Ultimate Universe, Peter Parker doesn’t get his powers until adulthood, when he’s already married to MJ with kids. This adds a whole new set of responsibilities to go with his incredible powers, putting a new spin on the classic tale of Peter Parker trying to balance his time as a hero with his civilian life.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 goes on sale January 10.
