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.

Also, a question I have is, will they be releasing a hardcover collection of this Ultimates 3 run? I really hope so as I enjoy a single book rather than 5 separate comics.

Thanks for the support! They should definitely be releasing a trade paperback of the run, I haven't heard any news about a hardcover collection but you never know.

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...

Joe Madureira Comic Collection Checklist

I found a neat comicbook community site called 'League of Comic Geeks' that's a great resource to organize your personal collection, manage your pull list of upcoming comics as well as track your reading list. I personally love the simple and clean design of the site and it has just the right amount of information for each book as well as all the covers/variant covers of issues. There's a feature called 'Community Lists' where you can post anything from story arc reading orders, to famous cover swipes over the years. I went ahead and made a Joe Madureira comic collection checklist that contains most of his works in comics! If it's something you're interested in you can check it out at League of Comic Geeks: Joe Madureira Comic Collection Checklist , and I will add it to my collection page on this site as well. Enjoy!
