More Preview Pages for Ultimates Vol 3 #1

Press Release

The most-star studded comic book of the event arrives this December and when it’s done, the Ultimate Universe will never be the same! Ultimates 3 #1 (of 5), from Eisner-winning and Emmy-nominated writer Jeph Loeb (Fallen Son, Heroes) joins the superstar art team of Joe Madureira & Christian Lichtner (Uncanny X-Men, Battle Chasers) to bring you the can’t-miss third season of the world’s most controversial super hero team! No longer working for S.H.I.E.L.D., Earth’s mightiest heroes operate from Tony Stark’s mansion in New York—but that doesn’t mean they’re in the clear! New members! New adventures! New secrets! The March on Ultimatum continues here and when one of Earth’s greatest heroes dies, it sends the Ultimate Universe down the path of no return!

“Is Christmas here already? Jeez, it seems like it gets here earlier every year!” smiled Loeb. “I'm thrilled that retailers, fans, and new readers will finally get a chance to see the amazing artwork that Joe Mad and Chris Lichtner and Richard Starkings have created for this project. We realize that we're following a creative team that is unfollowable (is that a word?), but I think Mark Millar put it best when he said, upon seeing some of the artwork, that we were like the new James Bond. Different cast, different look, but it's still a James Bond movie. Hopefully, he meant Daniel Craig and not Timothy Dalton!

Everyone on the team and at Marvel have put all their best efforts into making this THE book for the year end. Enjoy!”

Who are the Ultimates now? What’s happened since the conclusion of the second volume? And just what could possibly tear this team apart? The answers arrive in Ultimates 3 #1, along with your choice of two stunning gatefold covers—one featuring the heroes and another featuring the villains!

Ultimates 3 is here and it doesn’t get any bigger than this, True Believer!

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

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 lig
