Viz has annouced today at it’s panel at the New York Anime Fest 2009 the release date for Ultimo volume 1 of the manga in English. The date is set for Feb. 2010. There will also be a promotional campaign for it with (most likely) free posters/postcards in upcoming issues of Shonen Jump. No price was marked for this release. It will most likely be priced at the new Shonen Jump line price point of $9.99. An early publication annoucement was made here (though now incorrect, unless it’s the UK release date), http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimo-v-1-Stan-Lee/dp/1421531321

Ultimo is currently being printed in Shonen Jump. The first volume was originally printed in Japan on June 3rd.
