The omission of the verb 'be'

Morrison confirmed that following Quitely's run on the first three issues, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Tan would be the artist for the next three issues, an arc entitled "Revenge of the Red Hood,"^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-7} with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Stewart as the artist for "Blackest Knight," the third arc,^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-8http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-9} followed by Andy Clarke drawing the fourth arc titled "Batman vs. Robin" and Quitely coming back to the book sometime after.^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-10http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-11http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmanand_Robin(comic_book)#cite_note-13} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frazer_Irvingtook over for the fifth arc "Batman Must Die" starting in issue #13

I'd like to know whether "is" is omitted before "Quitely."

Thank you in advance for your help.
