There's no stopping the hottest book of the year, as Marvel is proud to announce the fourth straight sell-out for the red-hot ULTIMATES 3, with ULTIMATES 3 #3 selling out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Eisner-winning, Emmy-nominated super-scribe Jeph Loeb (Hulk, television's Heroes) joins forces with the superstar art team of Joe Madureira and Christian Lichtner for the series that will forever change the Ultimate Universe! Scarlet Witch is dead, the Ultimates are divided and more of Wolverine's secret history has been revealed…but just what other surprises could this creative team have up their sleeves? Well, you'll have to stay tuned to find out!
To meet the overwhelming demand for this issue, Marvel is going back to press with ULTIMATES 3 #3 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT, featuring the gorgeous interior art of Madureira and Lichtner on a new wraparound cover!
"Fantastic!" said Loeb. "That's all I have to say... well, okay... Again, to the fans, readers, and retailers, to come on this immensely popular title and continue to find success I am so grateful. I can only promise that we're going to continue telling the best stories we can that lead us into ULTIMATUM!"
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all issues of Ultimates 3, as the series continues to sell out quickly and garner buzz. The book that's redefining the rules of superhero series and leading the "March On Ultimatum" continues with the jaw-dropping ULTIMATES 3 #3 Second Printing Variant and nothing will ever be the same!

The internet is on fire after rumors speculated from the Cup of Joe panel at Newsarama: Newsarama: From “MrMxyzptlk”: we know that Leinil Yu is coming to the Ultimate Universe. That is cool. But can you confirm or deny that Joe Madureira and Michael Turner will work on the Ultimates titles too? Joe Q: I can do no such thing.
Then, Cyphon from Newsarama commented that CB Cebulski confirmed that Jeph Loeb and Joe Mad are the next team on Ultimates.
First, he was asked what Joe Mad is working on and he said "See Wizard in four days".
Then he was asked who the next team on Ultimates is, he said "See Wizard in four days."
Then he added, "I think you can all put two and two together."
Everyone is certainly abuzz... but until then, let your imagination flow and we'll all find out Wednesday is this one is true.
update: the Wizard website has indeed confirmed that Loeb & Mad will work on The Ultimates volume 3. Stay tuned for more news as it comes.
