Here is a high quality picture of Joe Madureira's Wizard #221 cover thanks to Saejin Oh who did the colours for the piece. Check out the rest of his artwork on Deviant Art; it's really good.

Joe Madureira at Toronto Comic Con

***UPDATE** Unfortunately Joe Madureira is not attending the Comic Con.... Wizard 221 hit stands on Wednesday featuring a darksiders cover by Joe Madureira. Unfortunately I can't find Joe Mad's cover anywhere... only the Iron Man 2 movie cover. The interview inside is short and sweet, nothing really new to talk about... However the very last page of the magazine has an advertisement for Toronto Comic Con ... As you can see on the page Joe Madureira is advertised to be a guest! Wizard World Toronto Comic Con runs from March 26-28th and you can get tickets here .

Darksiders Updates

I've had the chance to play Darksiders and I'm really enjoying it so far. The graphics are really sharp and the gameplay is a lot of fun. I hope it does well for Vigil Games first release and that they'll be working on a sequel ASAP. There has been plentiful news on Darksiders today after it's release yesterday... here's the rundown: First it sounds as though Hollywood is interested in bringing Darksiders to theaters as Joe Madureira told VG247,"We've gotten some interest from Hollywood, we've talked about doing a comic series." and Joe added "It's really a THQ thing, but I know they are definitely talking to people and I would be surprised if some of that stuff didn't happen."

Darksiders: Wrath of War Releases Today

Time for a breath of fresh air, Vigil Games (Joe Madureira's Video Game Company) has released their first game to market. After 3 years of development Darksiders is officially out on store shelves today. Being a Joe Madureira fan for so many years and witnessing his up and downs in the video game industry with games such as Dragonkind, Exarch, Dungeon Runners and Tabula Rasa it's nice to see him be successful with the release Darksiders. He's poured his heart into this game and has fulfilled his dream of creating a video game from concept to reality. I'm really excited to get my hands on a copy in the next few hours. Do yourself as a Joe Madureira fan a favor by going out and buying Darksiders: Wrath of War today. Amazon.com (xbox360) Amazon.com (PS3)
