Re: Ultimates 2 #12 delayed to 8/9/06 (UPDATED)
From Hitch, when asked today when #12 will be out:
I'd say about a month or so. All the inking should be in this week and we can assume anywhere up to two weeks for Laura to colour it (it IS 38 pages of story and art) then it's usually two weeks to process, print and ship so my guess is four weeks from Wednesday, but that could be a week earlier or later depending on various factors including the need to reorder and resolicit based on the fact that original orders were for a standard 32 page book and this one will be 48 including ads.
Nearly there; the weeks will fly by.
Speaking of which, I bought Ultimate Avengers 2 yesterday - haven't managed to get through the cartoon yet, but I've watched the Hitch/Millar interview twice. Great stuff, with lots of Hitch art shown, which looks great on a big TV screen. In fact, it looks a little TOO good. Toward the end they segue from a Hitch panel to the animated art from the cartoon and it's almost painful how much depth and vibrancy is lost.
