I've been carefully studying the Ultraheroes series. It appears that it uses a technique of simply scanning cleaned-up penciled pictures through a computer before coloring them with a paint program instead of traditionally inking the lines first. Extreme closeups show the characters' lining in dark pencil. Anyone know if this is the case?

I noticed that too, in the last few issues of Ultraheroes especially. It looks rushed and like the art wasn't finished.

Actually I liked it. I preferred the penciled look to the solid back ink, I think it made it look more graceful. ;)

It's becoming more and more common that comics are "digitally inked" compared to traditional inking. In fact, I'd say "real" inkers are a dying breed thanks to Photoshop. It's an art in and of itself, and it's unfortunate... but it saves a publisher quite a bit of time and money. Some pencillers are very tight with their linework and can pull it off... others, not so much.

Okay, so it sounds like what you're saying is that they do pencil cleanup in such a way as to visually simulate drawn "brushstrokes" and then simply scan them in?
