Marvel is pleased to announce that Ultimates 3 #1 (of 5), from the red-hot dream team of Eisner-winning author Jeph Loeb and the fan favorite art team of Joe Madureira & Christian Lichtner, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Featuring a shocking ending that forever changes the Ultimate Universe, and leads into 2008’s hotly anticipated Ultimatum event, Ultimates 3 is essential reading for fans of the Ultimate Universe!

To meet the overwhelming demand for this issue, Marvel is going back to press with Ultimates 3 #1 Second Printing Variant Wraparound Cover, featuring a stunning new cover based on the interior art of Madureira & Lichtner.

“I've seen it. I love it. I'm buying it,” said acclaimed Ultimates & Ultimates 2 author Mark Millar. “The only thing that makes me sad is that these guys will outsell even me and Hitchy. I joked to Loeb that he was George Lazenby to my Sean Connery, but the specky one might just be my Daniel Craig. This is good stuff!”

If you missed this landmark issue, now’s your chance to get onboard with Ultimates 3 #1 Second Printing Variant Wraparound Cover. Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all issues of Ultimates, as the series continues to draw buzz for all corner and redefines the Ultimate universe.
