Ultimates 3.1 Second Print in Stores

The second print of Ultimates Volume 3 issue 1 was released yesterday with a beautiful new cover (see last post) as well as a colour fix of the interiors! The dark and muddy print job has disappeared and has been replaced by a much lighter and clear print that lets the fine details be shown in the work by Joe Madureira.

I found out that Jeph Loeb and Joe Madureira will be special guests at Wizard World Los Angeles so I'm sure there will be some new announcements and details on their Ultimates 3 run. The convention takes place from March 14-16th, 2008.

Over at Marvel Comics there are two sweet wallpapers of the covers to Ultimates Vol 3.3 and 3.4, here are the highest quality versions for your viewing pleasure.

Finally, Ultimates 3.2 comes out next Wednesday January 23rd to your local comic book retailers, don't forget to pick up your copy!

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...
