Along with the release of the final issue of Ultimates 3 it was recently revealed at the 2008 at San Diego Comic Con that Mark Millar will write an ongoing series called Ultimate Avengers beginning sometime in 2009. The series will be “event”-oriented, with a new major event every six issues, and a new artist illustrating each six-issue arc. No artists have been announced yet, but the first story arc will spin out of events in the current Ultimatum storyline. Reportedly, the previously announced Ultimates 4 mini-series will still happen sometime in the future and feature a story related to the final page of Ultimates 3 #5. However, in addition to writer Jeph Loeb, the art chores are now being handled by Liberty Meadows artist Frank Cho instead of the previously announced Ed McGuinness (Hulk).
