Final word - Ultimate Extinction is 5 issues

[E]

I emailed Warren Ellis to ask about the conflicting info concerning Ultimate Extinction - 5 or six issues. His reply:

"5. They must've ****ed up."

There you have it.

"5. They must've ****ed up."

I love how casual E just said all that. He's all:

"Yeah...I totally know Ellis. Me and him are like BFFs. And everyone is like, you know...asking whether or not Extinction is gonna be like, 5 or 6 issues. So, you know, I'm like his like BFF...so I just totally came out and asked him. He gave me the 4-1-1...but was like 'Do not tell anyone...I wanna keep the suspense.' But, like, I titally can't keep all that like a secret. Oh yeah...you wanna like know something else? Ok...like me and Bendis get together every Friday and like braid each others' hair in cornrows. Like totally......."

:lol:

Cool, that answers that question. Timeline is adjusted (along with all the other news we got the past couple days).

strange. i might not be in the know 'cause i'm reletively new to this board, maybe E is like that, maybe E isn't, but it came off to me as:

"a lot comic creators have email addresses on thier website, so i emailed Warren Ellis to get the official word direct from the source"

It was just a sarcastic joke. :wink:

sweet!

That's $3 I can spend on something else!
(Hey, gotta take my victories where I can get 'em.)

 

[ultimatedjf]

That's o.k. I guess, I'll save 3 bucks, but the way this mini is going, it almost seems like it needs 6 parts.

Yeah....with 3 parts already down...they'll sum everything in 2 issues? Sounds rushed to me.

They don't need to. They can do the actual cleanup in Ultimate Vision.

I doubt Ellis knows how many issues it is. We need a more reliable source like Diamond.

Uh...what? :?

Just because Ellis writes a comic, doesn't mean he knows how long it is. It's comics for god sake's. He probably makes it up while he's on the bog. It's how Alan Moore wrote Watchmen, dontchaknow.

And he's not Moore. I think he'd know when he finished a mini.
