Summary: Like everyone could guess, Hickman was gonna leave the book and another writer was planned to jump on after #24 issues But marvel changed their minds. Marvel now sees value in making trade paper bags be 24 issues to be prestige-format books instead of numbered volumes

Man, I wish Ultimate X-Men didn't feel like it just kinda stopped

Yeah, as much as I actually enjoyed all of the new Ultimate line to varying degrees…the loss of UXM was the roughest. It was so good.
