Expect the first issue of Inhuman to hit stores early next year. Marvel NOW, editor-in-chief Axel Alonso told USA Today that Matt Fraction and Joe Madureira’s Inhuman spins out of Marvel’s current Infinity storyline, focusing on events that take place after a large portion of the human population is exposed to the terrigen mists, which give the Inhumans their powers. Check out the cover for the first issue below.

Some exciting news for Joe Madureira fans. Shortly after his Savage Wolverine stint Joe will move over to help launch the next Marvel universe post-Infinity event called "Inhumanity" with Inhumans #1, a new ongoing series written by Matt Fraction. It hasn't been discussed if he will be the regular artist or if he will just pencil the initial few issues but we may find out more during San Diego Comic Con next week. Check out the cover for the first issue!

An interview with Zeb Wells over at Comic Book Resources has a few pages from issue two of Savage Wolverine featured. There's one never before seen page and two others we've seen the pencils to but not the colours. Check them out!

*** UPDATE *** Unfortunately this cover was never made. I guess Marvel.com made a mistake advertising a variant cover by Joe Madureira. Sigh... Guess We'll have to wait for Savage Wolverine #8 and Inhumans. *** END UPDATE *** The Marvel comic solicitations for September 2013 were just released and I've discovered that Joe Madureira will be drawing a variant cover to X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1. Hopefully we'll see the artwork soon! For now check out the inks to Savage Wolverine issue #8's cover and his X-Men #1 variant cover without the typography.

Savage Wolverine #6 comes out next week and will begin the three issue arc featuring art by Joe Madureira and written by Zeb Wells. Here's the official cover as well as two new pages showcasing Captain America and other Avengers!

Comic Book Resources had an interview with Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells to talk about their upcoming Savage Wolverine arc. It begins with issue #6 due out to stores June 12th. CBR News: Zeb and Joe, this story started off as "Avenging Spider-Man" tale before becoming a "Savage Wolverine" story about Logan and Elektra. Spidey still has a presence in the story, though. What can you tell us about his role in this story? Is he the Amazing Spider-Man or the Superior Spider-Man? Joe Madureira: He's really not in it all that much, but it's regular Spidey, not Superior Spidey. Zeb Wells: Spidey shows up at the beginning and end of the arc. I like it when he pokes at Wolverine's image as a stone cold killer, so having him around really shows the two worlds Wolverine lives in; the more "heroic" world of the Avengers/X-Men and the grittier world of his past. Zeb, we've spoken previously about your thoughts on Wolverine, so let's chat about ...

This image came from a fan of this site, Ferran, and seems to be a page from Savage Wolverine featuring Elektra! Thanks for the tip man!

This one slipped under the radar! I guess Joe Madureira will have a variant cover for the launch of Marvel Now's X-Men ongoing series. This had to be a last minute idea on Marvels behalf. Here's the only preview I could find... hopefully we will see a higher resolution version before it hits retail next week.

Over at Newsarama.com they have an interview with Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells talking about their upcoming 3 issue run on Savage Wolverine. Give it a read and check out the new pages! Newsarama: Zeb, Joe, following the Avenging Spider-Man arc you did together, you're working again on Savage Wolverine. What's unique and special about this partnership that has you returning to it? Zeb Wells: There's an energy to Joe's artwork that I really like writing for, and the storytelling is so strong. It's just so much fun to be alone in your office — which is usually so depressing — and seeing his artwork in your head as you write. It makes it a fun experience. Joe Madureira: I'm blushing right now! [Laughs.] Originally when we were trying to figure out what I was going to work on at Marvel, they had sent me stuff from various writers — I had just been away for a while. I didn't even know what characters were cool anymore, or what was going on with S...

Joe Madureira has revealed a new Savage Wolverine image. Check out Wolverine in his old costume!

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...

Today Joe posted the pencils to his San Diego Comic Con sketch of Red Monika he drew last year. Hopefully he'll have another killer sketch for this years comic con which takes place July 18–21.

Today there was a very special post from Joe Madureira on his facebook page for artists. He has received endless questions over the years about what he uses to draw, what inspires him, career advice... etc, even myself, not being affiliated directly with Joe Madureira have also received these questions through email from Joe Mad fans for the last decade wanting to learn from the man himself or for him to critique their work. It's a lengthy post but if you're an artist these are very inspiring insights on how to be successful in the industry. ART ADVICE Do you really want to be an artist? Or a successful working professional? Believe it or not there is a difference. I’m not usually a soapbox type guy, I don’t like instructing people, and I think I’m a terrible teacher. But hey, it’s Friday and I’m in a strange mood. So here goes: I’ve noticed that a good number of my fans happen to be aspiring artists themselves. This is for all yo u guys. I get asked constantly: “Where s...

Joe posted an alternate draft of a Savage Wolverine page. Check it out! Looser shot of that wolvie cover. Sometimes I feel like I over-render and lose the energy! #marvel #wolverine #comics twitter.com/JoeMadx/status… — Joe Madureira (@JoeMadx) April 26, 2013

Keep your fingers crossed, today Joe posted a tweet about making one of his life's missions to have Battle Chasers animated. Stating this publicly so I can't back out. Someday we WILL see #BattleChasers animated! It's now one of my life's missions. #comics #anime — Joe Madureira (@JoeMadx) April 22, 2013

Joe Madureira released a new savage wolverine page for our pleasure. Check it out!

Joe Madureira posted a Savage Wolverine cover (not sure if it's for the first issue or not) as well as a concept sketch for it. The cover looks amaaazzing! His thoughts on the cover " This Savage Wolverine cover is an homage to Paul Smith, Frank Miller and all the classic ninja ass-kicker issues!"

Joe has released the pencils for his Guardians of the Galaxy variant cover for issue number two. The issue is being released April 24th .

Comic Book Resources had their weekly Axel in Charge column  in which there were some amazing new pages from Joe Madureira's Savage Wolverine run with Zeb Wells. "Will the Savage Wolverine title be featuring a new creative team with each new arc or is a regular creator team in place once Zeb Wells/Joe Madureira finish their upcoming Spidey/Wolverine/Elektra storyline for the book?" Alonso:  “Savage Wolverine” will be home to top-flight creative teams telling no-holds-barred stories. We think you’ll be excited by our line-up. I sure am.

Joe Madureira is up to his old ways supplying his artistic talent towards a variant cover. This time it's for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy #2. Check it out!

Joe has posted his finely crafted pencil work to the Savage Wolverine #6 cover. Enjoy!

It's finally official! Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells will be working on the Marvel Now! book Savage Wolverine starting with issue #6 this June. Over at Comic Book Resources they have an exclusive interview with the team. CBR News: People have been asking about the work you guys are doing together for some time, so I thought I'd start off with a question about the evolution of this project. Was this story originally envisioned as an arc of "Avenging Spider-Man?" And if so, has the story changed significantly since becoming a "Savage Wolverine" story? Zeb Wells: Yeah, we originally planned it for "Avenging Spidey," but with the massively talented Chris Yost coming onto that book and the lead character changing to "Superior Spider-Man," it didn’t fit quite as well. The story was leaning more towards Wolverine and Elektra anyway, so with that in mind -- along with Joe needing to wrap up some work at his company and me getting ...

Marvel has teased us yet again by confirming Zeb Wells will be the writer for the upcoming Marvel Now! book being released this June. I'll have more news when details are released!

Marvel Comics  subtly announced Joe's new project is going to be a part of the Marvel Now! publication.  Marvel Now! started the relaunch of several on going series in the Marvel Universe after the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline. Will it be a Spider-man book? or possibly Wolverine? I think we will find out shortly! The new book launches in June 2013.

Joe Madureira posted a small teaser on twitter showing the script to his new book and a drawing of wolverine and possibly elektra in the background. Hopefully new information will surface soon on this new Marvel project! My daughter suggested I use her special pencil. May take some getting used to... twitter.com/JoeMadx/status… — Joe Madureira (@JoeMadx) March 1, 2013

Here is a teaser image from that Spider-Man/Elektra book no one knows the details on. Hopefully we'll learn more in the months ahead!

It's been very silent for the last few months of any Joe Madureira related news but Joe has posted a few concept art pieces from his time at THQ recently.
