I’m very proud of my first two arcs, but I feel like I’ve really hit my stride with Stuart. It’s tough to compete with the likes of Whedon, Milligan and Claremont, but we’re trying to do something that will be completely different from those books (for hardcore X-fans who think they’ve seen everything), while also staying true to the spirit of the Ultimate Universe (for new readers discovering these classic characters for the first time). It’s a tough tightrope to walk, but I think we’re up to the challenge.
First up will be our very different take on Longshot (no aliens, no inevitable Dazzler romance, no bowtie-clad Arcade), followed by some shorter stories that will introduce a few all-new concepts to the Ultimate Universe. And for our final arc, an action-packed epic that will tie together a lot of everyone’s favorite elements from Millar and Bendis’ runs for one spectacular new story I can’t wait to tell. The next year of UXM’s got it all (except Wolverine, who’ll be “away on business” for the next five issues or so; I think readers get more than enough of him everywhere else, and it’s time to give some other muties the spotlight, no?)
Thankfully, all of my plans turned out to dovetail very nicely with the plans of Bryan Singer and screenwriters Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty, who I had a really cool meeting with several months ago in Los Angeles (crazy to be in the same room as the director of Usual Suspects!). Those guys and a top-secret artist will be taking over UXM immediately after the end of our run, and I’m going to stick around for at least their first few issues to lend a hand translating their ideas (which kick an unbelievable amount of ass) into comic form. I’ve read their outlines, and I can say with confidence that their run on UXM is going to put even X2 to shame."
