The Timeline Guy
Here's a quick run-down of what we can expect from the Ultimate titles in 2006. No major revelations or anything, as most of this has been covered, but it provides a nice calender of when certain things will start.
So looks like Ultimates 3 won't start until October, and we'll see more Annuals in July. At least we'll only have to wait about 6 months between Ultimates volumes this time, though not sure if the wait will be as worth it.
GALACTUS TRILOGY:
THE VISION back-up stories run in November's Ultimate Spider-Man #86, Ultimate X-Men #65 & Ultimate FF #25, and December's Ultimate Spider-Man #87, #88 & Ultimate FF #26. It will NOT be traded (for now). Followed by EXTINCTION from Warren Ellis & Brandon Peterson kicking off in January.

March 2006: "Deadpool" launches
September 2006: "Clone Saga" launches with issue #100
X-MEN:
January 2006: Robert Kirkman & Tom Raney begin run with "Date Night"
April 2006: Kirkman's joined by Steve Dillon

So looks like Ultimates 3 won't start until October, and we'll see more Annuals in July. At least we'll only have to wait about 6 months between Ultimates volumes this time, though not sure if the wait will be as worth it.
