Joe Madureira ! Fansite

Over at Newsarama .com in the weekly Q + A with Joe Quesada he mentioned that the Ultimate Vision Joe Mad previously did will be the cover to issue #1. Issue one will be found in Ultimate Spider-Man #86 so definately pick that up if you want it for your Mad! collection. I'm not sure when it's coming to comic stores but I'll let you know.

Batman/Superman #26 will be an issue that was written by Jeph Loebs son Sam Loeb who sadly passed away this past June. Here is an excerpt from Broken Frontier.com: "Everyone will be working off of Sam'’s plot. This is his story to tell. Helping out with the writing will be myself, Geoff Johns, Alan Heinberg, Brian K. Vaughan, Joss Whedon, Brad Meltzer, Joe Kelly and Mark Verheiden. The artwork -- so far -- will be handled by Mike Turner, Joe Mad, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Arthur Adams, Joyce Chin, Pat Lee, Ed McGuinness, Carlos Pacheco, and Ian Churchill." All the artists and writers are donating their fees and royalties to Sam's High School and the pages will be auctioned off for even more chairity.

I just thought I'd post this up for fans to use if they want. It's a wallpaper using a couple of Joe's Ultimates sketches that I put together for my desktop. 1024 x 768 Enjoy!

Marvel Comic's has released some new information on whats coming up in the future. First there's Ultimate Vision, in which the character design was created by Joe Madureira. Ultimate Vision will be a six part backup story found in these upcoming Ultimate Universes: NOVEMBER 2005 1. ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #86 2. ULTIMATE X-MEN #65 3. ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #25 DECEMBER 2005 4. ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #87 5. ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #88 6. ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #26 In the same article at Newsarama it said that Ultimates Ver. 3 won't hit shelves until October 2006...a whole yeah from now. This is kind of an upset but it gives Joe Mad and Jeph Loeb TONS of time to pull together this series; I'm hoping they use their time wisely. There was another Q and A with Joe Quesada this week at Newsarama where he answered a couple Mad! related questions: NRAMA: “Ultimate Vision” back-up story by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr [with a character design by Joe Madureira]?
