Marvel has announced the next reprinting of Ultimates 3 #1 will get the black and white treatment to showcase Joe Madureira’s artistic stylings.

“What a wonderful gift for the fans of the book,” says writer Jeph Loeb. “Joe’s artwork looks great in color, but to see what an amazing illustrator he is just off his pencils is a mindblowing!”

Superhero Hype! has a great interview with Jeph Leob about his work on NBC’s Heroes television series. Most of the interview focuses on how Leob became attached to the project. Considering that Leob still writes comics, is a supervising producer for ABC’s hit series Lost, and a writer and supervising producer for the CW’s Smallville, how does he manage his time?

The challenge is time again. I tend to write at night or I get up early, sometimes at 4:00 in the morning, and then write until I have to be on set or at the production. But this isn’t anything really new. Regardless of whether or not I needed to be on set or in the writers’ room, as someone that was working on a television series full-time, I have to be able to balance time between being a comic book writer, working on a television series, a television writer, and also having a life and being a dad.
