Spinning from the Ultimate Universe, comes Tony Stark’s take on the Ultimates leading up to the action in Ultimates 3.
Every spy has his secrets, and Nick Fury is no different. As America’s top-ranking espionage expert, just imagine what skeletons Nick has lurking in his closet! What really happened behind the scenes of America’s premiere super hero strike force? That’s what Tony Stark wants to know!
Marvel sent us the cover and a sample page of art from Travis Charest, Bryan Hitch, and cover by Mark Brooks.
One of my students asked me when the next Ultimates series was going to be released, and now I can tell him – December 05, 2007. I’m included in the number of fans that liked the series, and the third looks like it is going to be a smash.
Such a smash that Marvel is releasing two gatefold covers that connect into one giant panoramic shot.
“When we first talked about how to launch Ultimates 3, we wanted something that both the retailers and the fans could sink their teeth into,” explained award-winning writer Loeb. “I’d been a huge fan of Joe Mad’s Uncanny X-Men #350 with that triple-gatefold and it’s hardly ever done anymore. But since we’re in the Ultimates it had to be even bigger than that! Working with Chris Lightner’s magic digital inks and colors, Joe created TWO covers — HEROES and VILLAINS all rushing toward each other. And when you put them together it makes one massive poster. So much so, that Marvel is releasing them as posters! We also wanted to thank you all for being patient while we put this together properly. Joe and Chris are at the height of their game and having been away from comics for a few years, these Hall of Famers have returned with a vengeance. Go Ultimates!”
