Ultimate Sports and NBA's Miami HEAT Team Up With Publix
Supermarkets and Gatorade for a 3-Part Comic Book Promotion
LOS ANGELES, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ultimate Sports Entertainment,
Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ULSP) announces their agreement with the NBA's Miami
HEAT to sell a three-part series of collectible Comic Books sponsored by
Gatorade and available exclusively at Publix Supermarkets in South Florida.
See Link: (http://www.nba.com/heat/news/heat_comicbook_050310.html ) This
retail promotion is made possible by Ultimate Sports' unique license with the
NBA.
This first issue of the Miami HEAT promotional comic book series will be
available for sale exclusively at 203 Publix Supermarkets in Miami and
throughout South Florida, with an initial purchase beginning on March 21, 2005,
and running while supplies last. The second issue of the continuing series will
be available in April, with the third issue coming out the following month in
May. For the first time ever, Ultimate Sports' comic books will be available
in both English and Spanish.
The action-adventure comic book's first issue is entitled "The Reverse HEAT,"
and features Miami HEAT All-Stars Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade, along with
their teammates Eddie Jones, Udonis Haslem, Damon Jones, Michael Doleac, Team
President Pat Riley, and Head Coach Stan Van Gundy. The HEAT must utilize a
special sphere in order to access their super powers when they battle the
Shadow Demon Farkas and his mutant henchmen. The villain Farkas has created
evil twins of the HEAT players, The Reverse HEAT, so our HEAT heroes must use
teamwork, along with their special powers, in order to save the day.
"The energy and excitement of working with the NBA's best team in the East, the
Miami HEAT, coupled with the fantastic exposure Publix Supermarkets and
Gatorade bring to this event promotion for our family-oriented comic books, is
outstanding," said Ultimate Sports President Rick Licht. "Shaq is already a
hero to so many fans -- now he'll really be a hero in our comic books."
"We are very excited to offer our fans a collectible edition comic book series
to commemorate what has already been an extremely exciting season," said
Michael McCullough, Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer for the
