Marvel Announces Postponement for Ultimates Volume 2
Marvel Comics has announced that, in order to make the series
“bigger, badder, bolder, and most importantly, regular,” it has
removed Ultimates Volume 2 #1 (FEB041576D) from its schedule. All orders
for it have been cancelled, and the heavily anticipated book will be resolicited
at a later date when it can be guaranteed to ship monthly.
“Marvel did exactly what we wanted them to. Like everyone else, I've been frustrated by the long delays between issues and so I asked them to stockpile six issues to guarantee this book went out monthly again,” said series writer Mark Millar. “Volume 2 is very much a sequel, and so this seems like the logical place to have the gap. I'd rather see delays between volumes than issues and it's great Marvel getting behind us like this.”
“With Marvel's continued and unprecedented support, they are allowing us to step back and stockpile a whole arc before release, which is just fantastic,” said series artist Bryan Hitch. “That's not to say we are resting on our laurels here, we have realistic, workable scheduled and are 100% committed to giving the fans the best we can, every single month!”
“Look, this title is a home run whenever it comes out,” said Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley. But it's got to come out for six months in a row -- a complete story, shipping on time. By working together, we now feel comfortable saying we're giving fans the best possible reading experience.”
“Timing aside, just wait till you see what these guys have cooking,” said Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada. “The book will look amazing if this comes off as planned, and you can absolutely believe we're going to want to get this into the hands of the fans as soon as possible, because I want the book myself!”
Refer to future issues of Diamond Daily, Diamond Dateline, and Diamond Dialogue for more information on Ultimates Volume 2 #1's resolicitation as it becomes available. Plus, see below for complete ordering information on the previously released Ultimates Volume 1 TP (STAR16479D) and the February-solicited Ultimates Volume 2: Homeland Security TP (FEB041625D), the latter of which carries a Final Order Cut-Off (FOC) date of April 1 and is scheduled to arrive in stores on April 28.
