Marvel restarts the Ultimate line
At the New York ComiCon, Quesada and company announced that they were ending the current Ultimate line and starting a new one (via The Beat).
Turning to Ultimatum, Quesada showed slides of "Ultimate Requiems." "We're kind of saying goodbye to those books," said McCann. "We're canceling Ultimate Spider-Man," said Quesada to a startled crowd. [...]Ha ha ha, very funny. I do wonder why they're still keeping on with this weak publicity stunt of cancel/relaunch? By now, I guess the Ultimate line has lost its momentum, though it wasn't much to crow over when it first began, recalling how disturbing Ultimate X-Men was when Mark Millar first wrote it. That title most certainly wasn't entry-level as they claimed it was way back in 2000.
"We are introducing Ultimate Comics," said Quesada. Bendis talked about Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, starting with a new #1, with David LaFuente as the new artist. "You can tell it's going to be good because it has the New Avengers lightning bolt on the cover," said Bendis.
