Ultimates #1 Black and White and Wizard World LA

Just a heads up that Ultimates Vol 3 #1 Black and White Edition is scheduled to release this Wednesday March 19th with the two gate-fold hero and villain covers.

The Wizard World LA Convention went on this past weekend where Joe Madureira and Jeph Loeb were on hand for a Ultimates panel. Comic Book Resources was there to fill us in. It's a good read, check it out!

Finally, Ultimates Vol 3 Issue #4 seems to be delayed until April with no solid release date yet!

Hey man. Just wanted to say that you are doing an awesome job here on this Joe Mad fansite. Keep it up as I visit very frequently.

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...
