Battle Chasers Issue #10 Announced by Joe Madureira

 

Battle Chasers 10 teaser image featuring Gully, Red Monika, Calibretto, Knolan, and Garrison, artwork by Ludo Lullabi, created by Joe Madureira


The moment we've all been waiting for! Today Joe Madureira put up a teaser image for Battle Chasers #10 on his social media channels. The image depicts Red Monika, Calibretto, Garrison, and Knolan in the background with Gully front and centre. Her gauntlets are glowing red with energy and the "#10" is within the electric linework.

Battle Chasers #9 was released back in September 2001, and over the years Joe has wanted to come back to the series to at least finish off the cliffhanger and story that the book ended with. In the meantime Joe has been very successful in the video game industry and even released a Battle Chasers JRPG/dungeon crawler called Battle Chasers: Nightwar that was initially funded by kickstarter.

Interviews with Joe over the last 10 years, journalists asked many times about the future of Battle Chasers and whether or not he would return to the series. Those answers varied over that time and most recently he mentioned potentially getting another artist on the book to help him out since his time is dedicated to his video game work.

And here we are! March 2, 2021, almost 20 years since issue 9 came out and Joe Mad! drops this bomb for all his fans. 

It seems Joe has brought help with this announcement by bringing on Ludo Lullabi who is a freelance artist that works in comics and video games. He's drawn for Blizzard, Gunfire Games, and Airship Syndicate on games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Darksiders, and of course Battle Chaser's Nightwar!

It's an exciting moment for Battle Chaser's fans and I can't wait to see what's revealed next!

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 lig

NYCC Battle Chasers Sketches

Joe Madureira has finished his two new Battle Chasers sketches for the New York Comic Con. They'll be 11x17 prints available in Artists Alley table L2. Signing times are 10:30am-12:00pm and 3:00pm-4:30pm Friday-Sunday during the New York Comic Con. Joe also answered a few questions about the prints. 1) Yes, Monika's boobs have gotten a little smaller (!) 2) Poor Garrison was going to be featured in his own print, but I didn't have time, and he ruined the composition of the team shot. So--I promise I'll do one of him for the next show. I didn't forget him! 3) I will look into some sort of online store where you can buy stuff without going to a convention. 4) These two particular prints are grayscale and resemble penciled line art on an 11x17 bristol board. Ie. It looks like pencils. I will have 3 other full color prints available that some of you may have seen at SDCC. 5) Yes, I do hope to get back to Battle Chasers someday. I do still love these characters, whi
