It's been nearly two years since the Ultimates 3 creative team was announced. Since then we've heard very little. We've seen a sketch here and a whisper there, but nothing too concrete about the direction of the story or the art.
Earlier this year, IGN Comics managed to get some basic details out of new series writer Jeph Loeb (see related link at the end of this article). We were told we might not see traditional "Avengers villains" lining up against our heroes.
Readers were also advised to expect a slightly different creative direction. Loeb stated, "At the end of the day, Ultimates [had] lived in a very political arena. That was something that interested [former writer] Mark [Millar] and it's something that he does probably better than anybody. One might say that it's brilliant political satire. That's not a world that I want to try to copy anymore than Joe Madureira wants to imitate [former artist] Bryan Hitch. He has to make it his own - we have to make it our own flavor." The writer also mentioned that his interests for the title happily coincided with where Millar and Hitch left things in Ultimates 2 #13.
So here we are, just one day removed from the start of the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con and four days away from Marvel's Ultimate Universe panel. It has been a very long wait for a solid, definitive glimpse into this universe. That wait is over. Last Friday, IGN Comics brought you a sneak peek at an artist's work on Spider-Man's "Brand New Day" direction. Earlier today we brought you the first look at Thor's confrontation with Iron Man. Now we bring you the first of two Ultimates 3 cover debuts.
There's not much more to say. We'll let "Joe Mad's" art speak for itself.

Joe MAd!!!!!!
Sieht das Geil aus
Natürlich ist das Hawkeye.
Re: Ultimates 3 & 4 News
Seit wann hat der Ultimative Hawkeye blonde Haare? Bisher hatte er doch eine Glatze bzw. schwarze Stoppeln.
Der Cap sieht sieht recht Turner-anatomisch aus...
Re: Ultimates 3 & 4 News

Man betrachte mal die nette Blonde Dame etwas genau !!!!
Also ich weiß warum der Herr einer meiner Lieblingszeichner ist !!!!

Re: Ultimates 3 & 4 News
Kann es vielleicht sein das Hawkeye zu einem Ultimate Bullseye wird. Wenn man sich Bild mal genauer anschaut hat er auf der Stirn auch so eine Art Zielscheibe.
