Posted by The One on 12/25/2006, 3:32 pm, in reply to "The Lateness issue Seeking Everyone's opinion" "You know, the apparant rage issues on Newsarama aside I think I'd like to clarify a small point. Ultimates HAS been a pleasure on many levels and I am immensely proud of it and the work we've all done on he book. I'm not precious, I don't think it's a work of art, a creation of genius or a bench mark in publishing; it's just a story I tried to tell as well as I could. I couldn't give a single definitive answer why it took so long but the point that needs clarifying is that when I described it as "the bane of my life" I meant the struggle with the pace at whihc I found myself working, not the book itself. Authority, which at the time I did it was the pinacle of my abilities, took three weeks an issue and I fully expected the same of Ultimates. Didn't happen. With a slower pace and a massive fall in the dollar I wasn't earning what I could have been but I wanted the book to be the way I saw it being rather than too compromised an attempt. The bane and struggle was always with trying to balance working quicker and earning a living and all too often failing and wishing I had never started it. Now, I'm glad I saw it through and glad I limped to the end. Not the proudest moment if all I considered was how quickly I drew it but it's certainly the proudest I've ever been of any project I've done in what I learned and what I achieved. I can't thank Marvel enough for their encouragement and support. I posted here originally to let the loyalest of the books followers know we'd got there, I hadn't even considered it to be a "News" item. Lesson learned. Thanks though for all the support over too long a time. I really hope you like the way we finished and can't wait for all of you to see the new stuff."
