Annuals would seem to be making a return to Marvel Comics’ publishing schedule with news from the Wizard Universe Web site that artist Tom Raney is working on an Ultimate X-Men Annual for release later this year. Marvel ceased publication of Annuals in December of 2001 in favor of publishing an extra 13th issue of their monthly titles, citing low sales of the Annuals in comparison to regular issues as the reason for the Annuals’ retirement. The X-Treme X-Men 2001 Annual was the last Annual released by the publisher. It remains to be seen whether the upcoming Ultimate X-Men Annual is a one-time release, or the vanguard for more Annuals to be published by Marvel. Extended News Taken from Comixfan
