On with the sketch!
I’m kind of doing a soft theme week this week– let’s call it “sketches of comics I’m really, really, really enjoying right now and can’t wait to get each new issue of”.
Right here? Marvel Comics’ ULTIMATE X from Jeph Loeb and Arthur Adams. Wow, does this book punch me in the gut with every page, artistically. Arthur Adams is doing probably the best work of his career on this book, and with Peter Steigerwald’s stunning– listen up, I’ll say it again– STUNNING colors, the “four issues in two years” so far Ultimate X is easily the most reread comic in my collection right now. I can’t put it down, and every time I see it there on my spinner rack, I want to go back and read it AGAIN.
Pick it up– there’re only four issues so far, so it’s an easy find. You will NOT regret it.
CLICK TO EMBIGGEN– Enjoy!

He also spells his first name wrong too
This is a great book and is so pretty. But, I hate having to wait! I wish all comics would come out monthly
Love the sketch!
@Luke:
hehehe That he does
Waiting forever for it IS torture, I agree. If this book came out monthly, nothing could touch it. It’d be the best book on the stands. Oh well.

Ultimate X was alot of fun but it’s release rate just had me give up on it. A shame too, I really liked it, now I just can’t be bothered. (Sad but kinda inevitable)
@PyroTwilight:
I agree– I’ve given up on this book after every issue, waiting months on end for the next one. However, I keep coming back when each new issue hits.
I can’t fault him too much, I suppose. I knew going in that he was a slower artist, and having a new baby has slowed him down even more, it appears!
