Joe Madureira ! Fansite

The day has come! The Joe Madureira Batman Black and White statue revealed at New York Toy Fair back in April has finally been released. The seven inch statue is based off of Joe's 'Justice League Rebirth #1' (2016) cover and is limited to 5000 units. The piece was sculpted by Paul Harding and painted by Michael Cowart. I received mine in the mail and it's a lovely statue. You can purchase one of your own off of amazon, DC Collectibles Batman Black & White: Batman by Joe Madureira Statue Here's the original comic cover that inspired the Batman Black and White statue.

Exciting news for DC Collectible fans! At Toy Fair 2019 DC has revealed their upcoming lineup of releases and one is a Batman Black and White statue by Joe Madureira! Here's what DC says about the release: "Straight from the variant cover of JUSTICE LEAGUE: REBIRTH #1 comes Batman by Joe Madureira, in a powerful stance, ready for action. This Batman Black & White piece features Madureira’s bold and graphic lines and strong character design, all sculpted into 3-D form by Paul Harding. The Batman Black & White line brings to life interpretations of the World’s Greatest Detective and select Gotham City characters from the comics industry’s brightest stars. Limited edition of 5,000 and individually numbered." The statue can be pre-ordered online now. Image below shows Justice League: Rebirth #1, which is the comic cover the statue is based on. Here's hoping there will be some other Joe Madureira statues released in the future.

Another backer sketch as part of the Battle Chasers: Nightwar kickstarter campaign features the Joker! Here's what Joe had to say about the drawing: Another fun backer reward from our BC Kickstarter campaign. Some tiers let you choose specific characters, Jared chose the Joker. Slowly but surely getting through all of these. #Kickstarter #Joker #dccomics #comics #sketch #pencils #YesNewBCcomicsAreComing In the twitter post Joe says "Yes, new BC comics are coming." As part of the Battle Chasers: Nightwar Kickstarter campaign it was stated that Joe would finish the story of his original Battle Chaser's story by releasing issues 10-12. Fans have been patiently (and not patiently) waiting for the issues to come out. Hopefully we will learn more about them in 2019.

Rewards are still going out from the Kickstarter campaign that helped fund Battle Chasers: Nightwar. One backer reward level got you a sketch of your choice drawn by Joe Madureira. This drawing brings back all kinds of memories from Joe's run on Uncanny X-Men. During the run, Gambit and Rogue had a budding romance and now we get to see how much Joe's art has developed since those 90's stories. Here's what Joe had to say about it: What year is this again?! The 90’s are alive and well! One of my favorite #kickstarter backer reward sketchies. Most of you were babies the last time I drew these two. 😂 Thanks Kin! ❤️ #gambit #rogue #XMen #25yearsLater

Exciting news sent from Joe Madureira himself via twitter today! What's this now? 🤔Stay tuned! https://t.co/Wk2djGBw10 #JoeMad #Batman50 #JoeMadureira #Exclusive #Batman #Catwoman #BatmanCatwomanWedding pic.twitter.com/EZAZ57WSwR — Joe Madureira (@JoeMadx) June 7, 2018 So a few things, first it seems that Joe does indeed own the www.JoeMad.com domain and is finally using it to be an online store for his work. It seems he'll sell exclusive covers to comics (much like J Scott Campbell does with www.jscottcampbell.com ). So we should see variant covers for sale and perhaps this will be the storefront the new Battle Chaser's comics could be on? Second, Joe is doing exclusive Batman #50 variant covers, which is the issue featuring Batman and Catwoman's wedding. So expect them and the Bat Family to be on the cover(s). Third, YES, you read that right, there will be multiple covers. The new JoeMad.com Batman #50 store page has the following description. ...

Over at BleedingCool.com they have received some information that DC Comics is registering the trademark 'Cliffhanger!' for comic books, graphic novels and electronic downloadable publications. Cliffhanger! was a creator-owned imprint by Wildstorm that brought together Joe Madureira (Battle Chasers), Humberto Ramos (Crimson), and J Scott Campbell (Danger Girl). Wildstorm was bought by DC Comics years ago so they inherited the Cliffhanger imprint but it has since been phased out after Danger Girl and Crimson completed their runs and Battle Chasers ended on an actual cliffhanger. Now that this rumour of Cliffhanger! being registered is out in the open, what is DC Comics doing with it? Is this the first step in the continuation of Battle Chaser's? Joe Madureira promised to continue the comic series with a 3-issue story arc during the Battle Chasers: Nightwar Kickstarter campaign. Fingers crossed that this is the first sign of the continuation of the series! I'll hav...
