We still have until June for Ultimates 2 13 and I don't think he started drawing in the exact time Joe Q called him...
..or maybe I really like his art and Im trying to be positive about this. Anyway even if he finished all the Ultimates 3, it would be released in, like, August.
Well, figure it was announced in August of 2005. Let's be charitable and say after all the sketches and everything and getting scripts from Loeb he starts drawing in January of 2006. That's still 13 months and not even two complete issues. Yes, we have until May or whenever for Ultimates 2 to end, but then what?
Do they wait until the whole series is finished to release Ultimates 3? At this rate that would take three years. Other books are hinging on this book being released, not the least of which is Ultimates 4, which has already been announced with an artist and will be a kind of follow-up to Ultimate Power.
It's not a Wolverine/Hulk situation where that book could be shuffled off and basically ignored. This is a big deal.
I'd just as soon see McGuiness finish the last four issues of Ultimates 3.
