"Place Ultimates ... in the dumpster": At ICv2.com, New Jersey retailer Ilan Strasser doesn't have much faith in Marvel's plan to wait to solicit Vol. 2 of The Ultimates until four issues are complete:

"As far as I'm concerned, Marvel can just place the Ultimates title in the dumpster and leave it there. Marvel now says they won't solicit the title again until they have a story arc in the can - so what? After that first 4 to 6 issue trade paperback is completed, how long will it take for Volume 2 of the book to become as pathetically sporadic as the first volume was?"
