Whats happened with Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk Issue 3???
I really enjoyed the first two comics that were released...but it has been an age since they came out. Anyone got any idea how much longer we will have to wait?

The third issue of the series has met with delays. It was originally solicited for April 19, 2006, only to be resolicited for May 17. That date came and went, and after about a week with no word on the issue's fate, Marvel announced that it would be released July 12. Further delays caused the issue to be bumped to August 9, then September 20, then October 25, then November 1, November 8, and December 27. Finally it was announced in mid-November 2006 that the third issue of the series had been officially cancelled until all of the remaining issues of the mini series are completed.
It is truly amazing the nonsense you can find out on Wikipedia.

Short version: Marvel sucks at scheduling.
Long version: Marvel REALLY sucks at scheduling. How many miniseries in recent years does that make they've soliciited and made a huge deal about that can't be finished in a reasonable time? (Black Cat, as someone said, Daredevil: Father, Daredevil: Target, Civil War, etc.)

I thought I read somewhere that it was cancelled and going to be continued in a new series. Or not.
on the topic of lateness, I don't really mind when a book is way late. Better late then crappy.

That's why I rarely will ever buy a mini these days. I'd rather just wait until it's all released, or just pick up the trade. The last mini series I bought was probably Dead Girl (from X-Statix), because that was too awesome for me to pass up.

Marvel's problem is that they release whatever it is they have in hand, ready to go, to the printers, regardless of how far along the next issue is.
For example - Alan Davis' run on Excaluber (about 15 years ago when he was both writing and drawing the book) - he had scheduled himself well enough in advance to be ahead of his deadlines. His mistake was that he'd turn in his pages when he was done, well before they were due. So, since they had the pages in hand, and without warning him, Marvel started publishing the book bi-weekly, which ended up putting him behind his schedule, and he had to get fill-in artists for a couple issues. He learned he lesson, and from there on, regardless of how far ahead he was, he'd only turn in pages right before their deadline.

Unless Alan Davis was BSing in the interview I read - it wasn't supposed to go biweekly before he turned his art in, but after he turned in his art, it did. He probably turned in his art far enough in advance to solicit biweekly - if you recall, the bi-weekly issues all had art from Davis, the few issues after it went back to monthly had fill-in artists, after which Davis did a few more issues before moving on, due to being too close to deadlines after that.
