Ultimates 3 tidbit

Over at Newsarama in this weeks New Joe Fridays Joe Quadsa had a little bit to say about Joe Madureira's Ulitmates 3 run.

As to what they've got hatching in Ultimates 4 -- I can't really say because it is impacted by Ultimates 3, which is impacted by Ultimates 2. You don't want me to get in trouble with Millar, Hitch, Loeb, Madureira and McGuinness do you?

Don't answer that! Okay, I can tell you this much, McGuinness' two favorite Marvel characters are Thor and the Hulk. Now, what book has both of those characters in it? So, wouldn't a story that brought those two together by Loeb and McGuinness sound... interesting? AH! I've said too much!

NRAMA: You’ve made the decision to follow-up perhaps the poster-title for contemporary schedule “issues” with a couple of volumes with now three creators attached who have all had scheduling issues in the past. Joe Madureira’s run was announced about a year ago and our latest info has it as still unscheduled. Do you consider it a risk at all? Do you think the franchise can survive a possible lengthy gap between Volumes 2 and 3?

And can you give any hope to Ultimates and Madureira fans and ballpark when readers might see Vol. 3?

JQ: Hey, why mess with tradition! [laughs]

There will be more info about scheduling coming up sometime soon. In all seriousness, the stuff I've seen from Joe is just remarkable, I don't think anyone will be even remotely disappointed with what they get. And because so many fans have asked, "Why announce 4 when we haven't seen any of 3?" our answer is with another question: "Why put out a trailer for Spider-Man 3 a year before anybody gets to see that movie?" We believe that as big a book as Ultimates is, these pairings with Loeb are so exciting that we want the world to know they are coming -- and if all goes well, they will be on time, and monthly through the two volumes. Who knows, we might get lucky and tell you about Ultimates 5 with…



So it seems they will announce the release date sometime in the near future. I personally think it will be at the Wizard World Chicago Convention in August since Jeph Loeb is attending it and is saposed to be doing a keynote.

In site news, all you joe mad fans are in for a treat! I've bought some webspace and put up what I have so far of the Joe Madureira Fansite!! check it out at http://sketch.sytes.net or http://joemadonline.sytes.net or soon to be joemadonline.com! There will be more site updates soon! Keep posted.

Art Advice 2.0 from Joe Madureira

Joe Madureira has continued voicing his art advice with details on what gear he uses, his influences, and skills needed for working in the game or comic industry. Art Advice 2.0 Now for the specific art questions I do get very often:   1-I use a technical pencil with HB lead 99% of the time. Staedler, Koo-in-oor, Prismacolor Turquoise, it’s all good. Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...

Wayfinder Character Artwork by Joe Madureira

I've collected as much artwork as I could find from Airship Syndicate's new game Wayfinders that I believe is Joe Madureira's work. Enjoy the collection! First he's some early concept art for Project Skylight (Which is now Wayfinder).  Next here's some marketing artwork for the game featuring the main heros (aka Wayfinders). Here's some high resolution images of the individual Wayfinders: Wingrave The Seeker Wingrave is a templar clad in spell-forged armor and sustained by his faith in the Architects. He's a natural leader and true champion, always ready to defend the innocent and to smite the forces of evil. Silo The Tactician  Swift and precise, Silo makes every shot count. Born into a family of smugglers, he spent his life running under the radar and challenging tyrants. Now he's using those same skills to fight the Gloom. Silo loves long odds—the greater the challenge, the greater the thrill. Niss The Shadow Dancer  Niss is kin to the shadows, and ...

Newsarama interview with Joe Madureira on Savage Wolverine

Over at Newsarama.com they have an interview with Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells talking about their upcoming 3 issue run on Savage Wolverine. Give it a read and check out the new pages! Newsarama: Zeb, Joe, following the Avenging Spider-Man arc you did together, you're working again on Savage Wolverine. What's unique and special about this partnership that has you returning to it? Zeb Wells: There's an energy to Joe's artwork that I really like writing for, and the storytelling is so strong. It's just so much fun to be alone in your office — which is usually so depressing — and seeing his artwork in your head as you write. It makes it a fun experience. Joe Madureira: I'm blushing right now! [Laughs.] Originally when we were trying to figure out what I was going to work on at Marvel, they had sent me stuff from various writers — I had just been away for a while. I didn't even know what characters were cool anymore, or what was going on with S...
