HAPPY ULTIMATE WOLVERINE VS. HULK DAY!

§ February 21st, 2007 § Filed under Uncategorized § 2 Comments

Yes, that’s right, Happy Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk Day, as it’s been exactly one year* since the second, and, thus far, last issue of this proposed six-issue series was released to the eagerly-awaiting public.

Marvel’s page for #3 still has the release date of May 17th, 2006, though it has since been announced that the series is off the schedule until all remaining issues are completed.

So celebrate with me one year of having to repeatedly tell customers “No, I’m sorry, I’m not sure when it will be out.” Celebrate the order numbers for Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk #3 being presented to me for adjustment on several occasions, filling me with some small false hope that it may actually be released. Celebrate the fact that as often as I was asked about the comic in early to mid-’06, I only sporadically get questions about it now…customers usually asking in the context of “Pfffft…typical Marvel!”

And celebrate with me just one more nail in the coffin of comic book consumer confidence. Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk, All-Star Batman, Civil War, Wonder Woman…thanks, guys, for giving me the opportunity to explain your problems to my customers! I couldn’t be happier!

* Okay, it’ll actually be one year on the 22nd, but I thought this celebration would be more fitting on the day the new comics are released. Think of it as “Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk Day (observed).”
