Ultimates 3 #1 to have a second print!

Great news for Joe Madureira fans, the first issue of Ultimates Volume 3 sold out and will have a second print. The cover will feature the splash page with Valkyrie about to cut Venom, expect it to hit shelves on January 16th.

Also, there was a bit of a backlash on the printing quality of the first issue, it was dark and muddy which made it very moody (which was great in my opinion). Anyway the second print may be altered to have better printing... here is was the colourist had to say.

So I finally got a copy. Don't ask why it's taken this long, but trust me it wasn't easy.

The book printed so incredibly dark, I have a difficult time trying to stay positive about anything. The book sold out, and the thought that they're all out there, this dark and muddy, is really hard to take.

I'm trying to find out if there's anything I can do about this for the 2nd printing. I'm really hoping that there is, as I'll do anything to try to get this fixed.

Besides that, get ready for Ultimates Volume 3 Issue 2 on January 23rd!

Hollywood Reporter Interview with Joe Madureira and new Battle Chasers 10 Artwork by Ludo Lullabi

Joe Madureira did a small interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the in-progress continuation of Battle Chasers 10-12 written by Joe and drawn by Ludo Lullabi. I'll pull out some of the highlights below. About Battle Chasers 10: The new comic is due to hit by year’s end, once again from publisher Image Comics, and will be followed monthly by no. 11 and no. 12, with a goal to tell a complete story arc. Madureira is writing the comic but, as opposed to the previous issues, not drawing. Instead, he handed those duties to Ludo Lullabi, whom he discovered while making 2017’s Battle Chasers: Nightwar role playing game. He does plan on drawing variant covers , however. And to whet appetites, the return issue will be 32 pages, no ads. "I just want to make a cool comic that people talk about," Madureira says. "It may be a little more edgier, a bit more mature than before. I’m curious to see how it will be received." About Battle Chasers delays; past and present: Ma...

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...
