Ultimate Civil War?

Leinil Yu, artist on Ultimate Avengers 2 is also announced as the new Ultimate Avengers artist on the six issue Ultimate Avengers Vs New Ultimates. But in a Newsarama interview to announce Ultimate Avengers back in the day, Mark Millar gave the website a hell of a quote.

"I'm going to do two years on this book and the four artists on this book are pretty much the four biggest names the industry has to offer."

Well, after the new solicitation information, it appears that the four artists are, in order, Carlos Pacheco, Leinil Yu, Steve Dillon and…

"This book is going to launch at number one and hopefully just stay there."

It actually launched at number five…
