Delays in The Series
The release schedule of the series met with many delays, starting with Issue 3. 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 canceled until all of the remaining issues of the mini series are completed.
At a panel at San Diego Comic Con 2008, Quesada and Lindelof announced that all of the remaining issues had been scripted, with Lindelof handing Quesada the final script in front of the audience, and that once Yu had finished his work on Secret Invasion, he would provide artwork for the remaining issues.
In Joe Quesada's weekly blog, he showed a bit of a script from an upcoming issue in the series. In the preview, there is a scene where Ultimate Hulk is making Wolverine choose which leg he would rather Hulk to eat. Quesada also wrote in his blog that Leinil Francis Yu was excited to get started on the series again, after Secret Invasion. The first two issues were rereleased in February 2009 in preparation of the release of the concluding issues. The third issue was finally released on March 4, 2009 with the fourth and fifth issues getting their release in April, and the sixth and final issue released in May 2009, three and a half years after the release of the first.

Famous quotes containing the words delays and/or series:
“That we would do
We should do when we would, for this “would” changes,
And hath abatements and delays as many
As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
