Joe Madureira ! Fansite

I guess Joe Madureira has been feeling nostalgic as of late since his latest post to social media is a sketch of a character from one of his first gigs at Marvel Comics. Joe was hired right out of high school for his comic art talents and illustrated Excalibur issues 57 and 58. Here is the tweet from Joe as well as the sketch and a screenshot of his old art. You can see how much he has refined his artwork; even in his tweet he says "Can't believe they hired me." I was in High School last time I drew this gal...😬. #cerise #marvel #excalibur #comics #comicart #CantBelieveTheyHiredMe pic.twitter.com/ZJ69oOTgZb — Joe Madureira (@JoeMadx) January 26, 2020

Give it up to Joe Madureira to set the internet a blaze with a new piece of artwork. This time around he's teased fans of his Battle Chasers comic series with a new piece of art featuring one of the protagonists, Gully, all grown up as a mature teen(?). It's a great sketch and the reaction has been positive with fans asking if the art is a tease for new comics or for a sequel to the Battle Chasers: Nightwar game. With Airship Syndicate's resent release of 'Darksiders: Genesis' on PC (console versions are due out in February) and 'Ruined King: A League of Legends Story,' there's still ONE unannounced game that's in development. Fingers crossed that it's a sequel to Battle Chasers: Nightwar. Gully, all grown up! 💕 #battlechasers #battlechasersnightwar @AirshipSyn pic.twitter.com/rUO8lE4hwa — Joe Madureira (@JoeMadx) January 18, 2020 Here are some more sketches Joe Mad! has posted the last few months. Most are kickerstarter backer rewards ...

The crew over at Gunfire Games felt generous and posted storyboard art from Darksiders II drawn by Joe Madureira on social media. Joe was one of the founders of Vigil Games who developed Darksiders I & II, and was the creative lead for the games. After Darksiders II was released Vigil Games was shut down due to THQ going bankrupt. Gunfire Games eventually took the reins on continuing the Darksiders series. Enjoy the artwork, featuring 'Death', the protagonist of Darksiders II.
