From Wondercon news at Newsarama, Jeph Loeb had this to say when asked about his issues on the Ultimates 3 and 4:
Asked when readers might see his and Joe Madureira’s Ultimates 3, Loeb joked that, in the interest of fairness, he had to admit that he was the one who kept calling Bryan Hitch and telling him to add more pages to issue #13 of Ultimates 2.
How much art is done by Madureira so far? Loeb: A lot, but I don’t want to get into that. It’s as famous for being last as it is for being a quality book, so I can tell you that when we have enough that we can ship monthly, or ever six weeks, we’ll go. That may mean there will be a break between Ultimates 2 and Ultimates 3 as there was between the first and second series.
Loeb said that the break between the two is something he’s come to see as an aid to the larger story, as there will have been roughly a year break between Ultimates 2 #13 and Ultimates 3 #1 during which characters will have left the team and joined it and other things within the team will have changed. Loeb said that he would like there to be enough time between the second and third series so that the third installment of the series is seen as its own story, rather than a continuation, and can stand on its own legs.
Loeb concluded by saying that he hopes to continue on with the characters past his already announced Ultimates 3 and 4, saying that he’s like to do up through Ultimates 6 and 7 with Ed McGuiness.
