Vaughan Reveals "Secret" Project
[imgl]http://ultimatecentral.com/images/news-dillon.jpg[/imgl] Brian K. Vaughan has announced on his website that Preacher co-creator Steve Dillon will be filling in on pencils for one issue of Ultimate X-Men - issue #58.
"In order for Stuart to stay ahead of schedule, Marvel asked if we would be okay with using a special guest artist for Issue #58... MR. STEVE DILLON!
Co-creator of Preacher and one of my absolute favorite artists ever, Steve has never drawn the X-Men before (I think?), and I'm sure he's the last artist many of you expected to see on a book like this. But we all agreed that Steve was the only guy for this issue, a standalone bank heist story focusing on Professor Xavier and a 100% all-new mutant villain named SYNDICATE. I'm particularly proud of this script, and I hope that fans of Ex Machina and Y: The Last Man who've been reluctant to read a "mainstream" book like UXM will give this issue a shot, if only to see Steve's insane design for our new baddie.
Meanwhile, Mr. Immonen will be gearing up for what will likely be my last arc on the book as solo writer (#61-65), a huge story that will reintroduce Havok and Emma Frost to our pages, as well as some other old friends. This epic will tie together a lot of elements from Bendis and Millar's runs, as well as set up some of the spectacular stuff director Bryan Singer & Co. have planned for their upcoming yearlong extravaganza. I had a great meeting with Mr. Usual Suspects a few months ago, and I'll be sticking around for at least his first few issues, just helping to translate the incredibly cool ideas he and X2 writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have come up with into comic-book form.
Finally, I'll be involved with one more really fun Ultimate project that Bendis and Millar have been gracious enough to let me be a part of... but it's a little too early to talk about that."
