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." The movie interest is a no brainer, it usually comes with every major video game release. I would love to see a comic series if Joe Madureira would be the artist behind it.

Second, Eurogamer had an hour long fan Question and Answer with Joe Madureira where he talked about his career and even about Battle Chasers.
"Question: I know you probably hear this a lot but what on earth happened with Battle Chasers? It was such an awesome comic, that just seemed to fizzle out. Any plans to finish the story of Gully and Co off?

Super Moderating Hero: I would love to some day. I am amazed how many people ask me this. It's somehow managed to live in people's minds all these years. I feel like I HAVE to finish it some day.

Super Moderating Hero: In a videogame perhaps?

Joe Madureira: That would be amazing. But I'm so possessive of it, I would demand it be done by Vigil. And we have too much on our plate these days to take on another project. So we'll see!"


Third, it seems there won't be any Downloadable Content for Darksiders as Joe mentions in his Q&A, "Sorry, we aren't currently planning any DLC content for Darksiders." But over on the Darksiders Official site they have a 'Mysterious Redemption Code' but it won't be unveiled until later in the month. Could it be a weapon download?

I think that is all for now, I'll try and keep you updated on any other exciting news. Enjoy Darksiders!

Art Advice 2.0 from Joe Madureira

Joe Madureira has continued voicing his art advice with details on what gear he uses, his influences, and skills needed for working in the game or comic industry. Art Advice 2.0 Now for the specific art questions I do get very often:   1-I use a technical pencil with HB lead 99% of the time. Staedler, Koo-in-oor, Prismacolor Turquoise, it’s all good. Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...

Joe Madureira Comic Collection Checklist

I found a neat comicbook community site called 'League of Comic Geeks' that's a great resource to organize your personal collection, manage your pull list of upcoming comics as well as track your reading list. I personally love the simple and clean design of the site and it has just the right amount of information for each book as well as all the covers/variant covers of issues. There's a feature called 'Community Lists' where you can post anything from story arc reading orders, to famous cover swipes over the years. I went ahead and made a Joe Madureira comic collection checklist that contains most of his works in comics! If it's something you're interested in you can check it out at League of Comic Geeks: Joe Madureira Comic Collection Checklist , and I will add it to my collection page on this site as well. Enjoy!
