Let me get this out of the way: Besides Bendis and Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-man, Ultimates was the second comic run…

June 4, 2010 3:32 pm totally excited for this, however not excited if they break it into 3 "chapters" at 1.99 each. Why can't you just give me the full comic at the same price (or even less cause there's no paper) than the thing I can get in stores? 
June 3, 2010 1:38 pm I'm actually pretty excited for this but I hope Kate doesn't have to give up being Hawkeye either
May 17, 2010 3:21 pm So Fraction's wife is writing the Pepper ongoing? Her Sif 1 shot wasn't terrible so I'll give this a shot
April 26, 2010 3:07 pm Welp, guess I'm dropping the book, I thought Rucka mentioned one more arc but I guess it was the Cutter one that just finished up. Oh well
April 26, 2010 1:01 pm Man how many more times are they going to cross this over into New Krypton Stuff? I really want them to get back to the stand alone Supergirl stuff.

Here's the quote from the arstechnica review of the iPad:

""We truly believe that there is a distribution issue in comics. We no longer have the newsstand—comics used to be everywhere and you could discover them... the digital stuff is the new feeder system into print," he told Ars. Comics are locked into Apple's pricing structure: the cheapest you can sell something is $0.99, the next tier up is $1.99. "Otherwise, you would probably see $1.49," we're told." ( source: http://bit.ly/d5WTDT ) 

That article is also where it talks about the 1,000 unit limit but as I said before, Apple already removed it. 

April 8, 2010 2:12 pm Nice artcle and welcome to the site. Not sure if anyone else saw this or not but the $1.99 is actually an Apple limitation and Marvel and the app developer (comiXology?) both said that if they had the choice they'd do it at $1.49. Sadly Apple only allows, .99 or 1.99. They did mention that there was a 1,000 limit on how many things can be sold from within an app as well and as soon as they hit that they contact Apple and it was immediately raised. 
April 4, 2010 12:17 am This is all speculation on my part but I'm wondering based on the way he talked about it if DC wasn't trying to force him into writing detective for the Bruce Wayne return crossover and he wanted to finish more of Kate's story or this Alice plot he had. It was just something that came to me after seeing him at the panel and hearing him talk. He also really doesn't like the direction they are or did try to take the WW movie script
April 3, 2010 1:05 pm I was at the panel and while he did say he was done for now he wouldn't say that the stories would never be told again. He also mentioned that he and JH are talking about some other projects they might do and probably the thing that had me most excited: American Soldier. Which would be an epic story following a family tree and the people that fought in all of america's wars starting with the revolutionary war and ending with present day. While the batwoman news is sad he sounded extremely optimistic about his future plans and said he isn't quiting comics
