Newsarama.com reports that Marvel has revealed that artist Tom Raney (Ultimate X-Men Annual) will be on to finish the sequel mini to Ultimate Nightmare, which is a part of the "Ultimate Galactus Trilogy". Steve McNiven will now only provide the covers to the last two reamining issues. Ultimate Secret #3 is scheduled for September 28.
As said on Newsarama:
While it's scheduling delay from June to September caused some outcry among fans, Marvel today confirmed for Newsarama that Ultimate Secret #3 is back on the schedule, but without Steve McNiven, artist of the first two issues. McNiven will still provide the covers, but artist Tom Raney will step in to pencil the remaining issues of the miniseries.
In doing so, Raney re-teams with writer Warren Ellis, putting the former Stormwatch team back together for another outing.
"Warren and I really clicked on Stormwatch," Raney said in a press release. "I've been looking forward to working with him again. I've also been enjoying Ultimate Secret and previously Ultimate Nightmare. So, getting the chance to have these two converge is too cool for words!"
As stated, Secret is the second of a trilogy of Ellis-penned miniseries, at the conclusion of the first, Ultimate Nightmare, the Vision, the herald of Galactus (or "Gah Lak Tus" in the Ultimate universe) has informed the heroes that the creature has set its sights on earth.
Even with Raney replacing McNiven though, the issue will still ship in September (the 28th). The minis is slated to run for four issues (according to the solicitation for issue #3). The safe money would see the third part of the trilogy, Ultimate Extinction, debuting in December, as Marvel traditionally likes to begin Ultimate events in December (Ultimate Secret #1, for instance, was slated to ship in December of 2004).
An artist for Ultimate Extinction has not been named.
