What's next for Jeph Loeb?

Jeph Loeb is one of the greats in the comic industry these days, so I like to know what zany adventures he's going to get my favorite characters into. Wizard Universe also wants to know, and have sat down with Mr. Loeb himself to talk about some of his plans for the year. Its widely known that Ultimatum will have a big impact on the Ultimate Marvel Universe as we know it, but Loeb is working on some other stuff as well. He's continuing his go at the Hulk, offering fans a treat alongside Ed McGuiness. "Ed McGuinness returns for a three-part arc featuring the Original Defenders, and I do mean original Hulk, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer and Namor. It will also be the first appearance of The Offenders, featuring The Red Hulk, Baron Mordo, Terrax and Tiger Shark." Hmm. No mention of Red Hulk there...wait. Here it is. "You already know it if you've been paying attention!" Loeb posits. "If not, there's something very...special headed your way in 2009 and it has something to do with the number 600." Loeb is also planning to continue his work with Tim Sale on Captain America: White as well. It seems that Loeb has a lot of stuff in store for fans this year, and he's definitely a writer worth reading. I'm really excited for his stuff in Ultimatum. The Ultimate Marvel Universe is such a unique take on existing characters that it kind of gives the writer free reign to take those characters wherever they want to take them. And I like that. Wizard has a slew of other "What's nexts?" showcasing other talents in the comic book world, so head on over and take a gander to see what's in store from your favorite artists or writers.
