I just read this on wikipedia (I don't know if this is true at all):
1. Mike Turner will be the artist on ultimate invasion
2. the fifth ongoing series will be Ultimate Knights
3. Ultimate Daredevil (This miniseries is suposted to be the third part of the ultimate daredevil trilogy)
Wow, 0-3.
And Wikipedia still hasn't gotten rid of that Ultimate Daredevil factoid since last I checked.
Well, #1 is certainly incorrect.
#2 turned out to also be incorrect, as there's still no 5th ongoing Ultimates title of any kind. For that matter, it should be listed as a
fourth ongoing, as its ridiculous to define The Ultimates as a regular or ongoing series since they're limited maxi-series for the first two volumes, and regular six-issue mini series for the next two. Anyway, done with my tangent. Point is, this portion was definitly incorrect in it being another Ultimate ongoing. However, we are currently reading an arc entitled Ultimate Knights in USM, so its possible there was a little truth to it. Of course, I'm also open to the idea that Bendis saw that on Wiki himself, and then decided to actually turn it into an arc for USM. Hack.
#3 is also partially true, as I remember specifically reading an interview with Joe Q. and him saying the "Ultimate Daredevil" was planned as the third part of the Ultimate Daredevil & Elektra Trilogy (UD&E and Ultimate Elektra being the first two parts). I know it was at least planned, though probably not anything more than an idea or pitch. It was probably put on a back-burner and not made a priority, possibly due to less than expected interest/profits in the Daredevil movie, or delays on the other Ultimate mini running at the time of the announcement (Ultimate Secret, which then segued into Ultimate Extinction). Who knows? I do specifically remember reading those words from Joe Q's mouth, but then again, he's often full of ****. I wouldn't be surprised to see it eventually.
