The Mad! Return

One of my favorite comic books artist is coming back to comics. Joe Madureira, the huge fan favorite artist that rose to fame in the mid-90's on Xmen and a host of other Marvel titles not to mention his own title, Battle Chasers. Recently Marvel Comics top dawg, Joe Quesada announced the return of Joe Mad! to comics. Joe will be working with Jeff Loeb on Ultimates 3, due out next year.

For the last 4 years Joe Mad! has been working in the video game industry, doing game concepts and characters designs for a couple different companies. He still is going to continue working for the game company so it does not look like this is a step back into full-time comics, but for us fans it's a start.

I got hooked on Joe back when he did a 4 issue Deadpool mini-series. Joe ranks as one of top five favorite comic book artist. It's great to have him back in comics even if only for a little while. Welcome back Joe!
