Hey, anyone know if this is still happening? I was really looking forward to this, and hoped it would shed more light on Cap's origin. Anyone heard anything about this recently?

jtg3885 said:No, I remember it was definitely announced as a future plan. San Diego Comic Con or something like that? I remember it was announced though. Might have gotten put aside to do UIM for now. But it could follow with their Origins-esque plans, especially if Wolverine wins that poll (and they actually decide to use the results), because they could publish all three under Ultimate Origins or somesuch. Do the story behind how Ultimate Steve Rogers became the Nazi-killing, Hank-smacking machine he is today.
And yet they've made a ten issue series out of the growth of a IUGM into a billionaire with a brain tumor. Five issues each out of Daredevil & Elektra, and Elektra solo. Five issues for the X-Men and Ultimates to dig to the center of a complex. You'd be amazed what sells.Guijllons said:If a story is to be told about cap then, then it's one of a man's downfall and dehumanisation. But willingly so.
But that will not sell.

UltimateE said:Unless my memory is just going wonky - there was never an announcement. It was a rumor posted in Lying in the Gutters and may very well have been confused with Ultimate Secret (which Millar was supposedly supposed to be doing before Ellis took over).
René said:Nobody ever said that there was going to be an Ultimate Captain America series. I remember reading that Millar was involved in a project initaledl simply UCA and from there people just thought that it was going to be Ultimate Captain America, nobody said that it was going to be that.
UltimateE said:Right - it appeared in Lying in the Gutters. And I think the initials were something like UCALMS or something like that, and speculation was that it meant Ultimate Cap. America Limited/Mini Series. I don't remember the exact initals, but I'm 99% sure that LitG was the only place it was mentioned (or that no official announcement was made).
