Joe Madureira ! Fansite

Over at Joemadfan.com Nathen has announced that the new game Joe is currently working on is NOT Starcraft: Ghost . So this leads me to believe that the image Mad! did for blizzard was just a commission piece. Nathen is hoping to hear back from Joe Madureira himself very soon with possibly more information on what he's working on. In site news... Today I have been thinking about bringing back the full version of my Joe Madureira! Fansite and have been looking into hosting and getting a domain name. I've got quite a bit of free time this summer so I can fill the site up with a lot of Joe Mad! goodies like images, interviews, checklists, and other related things. I'd love to hear from the fans about what other things you'd like to see on the site and if you think I should go forward with bringing my full site back. Feel free to leave comments below!

Finally some Joe Mad news has arrived! Over at the official Starcraft: Ghost website the current layout is using a picture by Joe Madureira! You can download the various sized wallpapers of it in their wallpaper section. Could Mad! be working for Blizzard Entertainment now instead of NCsoft ? Over at Joemadfan.com, Nathen was told that Joe Mad was indeed at this years E3 Expo and is planning on sending him some images from the new game he is working on. There are many possibilities for what the new game he's working on is... maybe Joe was working for Swingin' Ape Studios that was recently bought by Blizzard (Plus they are the team working on Starcraft: Ghost)... or is he still with NCsoft? My personal bet is he is with Blizzard since his artwork is on the site and NCsoft hasn't announced any new games at E3 this week, but who knows maybe they just asked him for a commission. In the end only time will tell and you'll hear about it here when I find out. For higher-res...

Nathen over at JoeMadFan.com got the pencils to the Dungeon and Dragon Character drawn by Joe Mad! Check them out! Also, in an e-mail Nathen got, Joe mentioned that he will be unveiling some new work in a couple weeks that he can't wait to show. Could this be concept art for a new game? Or possibly comic related? I'll let you know as soon as I find out!

UPDATE 2 Again, over at Joemadfan.com , Nathen got a larger version of the image from Howard Lyon. Howard actually painted the image and you can see the large sized image here . Plus check out Howard Lyon's website for all his great art. Nathen also e-mailed Joe to see if he could get the pencils for the image. Hopefully that will happen! UPDATE Over at Joemadfan.com Nathen got confirmation from Howard Lyon that he did indeed color Joe's pencils for that image. If you take a look at the Races of Eberron Art Gallery you can see Joe Madureira wasn't credited for the image, but as you have just read the confusion is now settled. For more information on the book check out Wizards.com Original News I recieved an email today from a fellow Joe Madureira fan and in it he showed me a piece of art from the book Dungeons and Dragons: Races of Eberron and as you can see below it has Joe's signature on it. From my point of view the art doesn't look like MAD!'s usual art ...

As promised, here are the scans of the front and back cover for Joe Madureira's Darkstalkers #4 Powerfoil.

Joe Madureira's Darkstalkers #4 powerfoil should be in comic stores today! I'll have to pick my copy up in the next few days but I've found an image of the final version after a bit of hunting on the net. It looks incredible and in my opinion it could be one of the best covers for a powerfoil we've seen yet! Definately check back to the site for my front cover and back scans when I pick up the issue.

Hope everyone didn't go running to the comic store today. Joe's Darkstalkers #4 powerfoil has been pushed forward a week and is being released on April 6th instead of today. Hopefully it won't be delayed again, but you never know... DEC042536J UDON DARKSTALKERS JOE MAD CVR C POWER FOIL #4 PI

Over at Diamond Comics.com they have the shipping list for March 30th which includes Joe Madureira's Darkstalkers Powerfoil for Issue #4: DEC042536J UDON DARKSTALKERS JOE MAD CVR C POWER FOIL #4 PI Definately pick this up since I heard the powerfoils are limited to 5000 copies. Here are the pencils for the cover since the coloured version hasn't been shown yet.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but there really isn't anything to update with! I haven't seen anything new dealing Joe Mad on the internet for the last few weeks. The only thing coming up right now is his Darkstalkers #4 powerfoil which hopefully will be out in a few weeks since the regular editions of Darkstalkers #4 came out yesterday. When his Powerfoil comes out I'll be sure to post it here for your viewing pleasure. In unrelated news, if you like the comic shorts by Corey Lewis found in the back of Street Fighter and Darkstalker issues you should definitely check out his Graphic Novel Sharknife that is due to hit comic stores at the end of this month! I'll definately be checking it out. That's all for now!

Apparently Madureira's Darkstalkers #3 powerfoil with Felica on it is in stores now. I haven't seen it on the Diamond Distributors website but Nathen over at Joemadfan.com got his copy yesterday so check out your local comic store and see if they have it. In other joemadfan.com news, Nathen is going to make a flash site of all six of Joe's Darkstalker covers sometime soon! I'm not sure if he has a sneak peek of his final three covers already but it sounds really cool so check it out when he's done. Right now Joe has created the Powerfoils for Darkstalkers #1, and #3. He didn't do the powerfoil for #2. Anyway, that's all for now.

I got my Darkstalkers #1 powerfoil today from my local comic shop, and I must say, Udon did a really nice job on this cover.

Over at Shoryuken Forums I found some info that explains the lateness of Joe's Darkstalkers Powerfoil cover. Quote: Originally Posted by Yusuf The Joe Mad power foil cover still hasn't arrived in shops here :'( is there something going on?? Post by Udoneko The printer messed it up in production and they have to be printed again. Should be in stores in the next 2 weeks. For everyone that was worried that they missed out on Joe's Powerfoil cover for Darkstalkers #1 you can rest easy now that it has been all cleared up and like Udoneko said, expect it to be in stores in two weeks.

Happy New Year! There is nothing new on Joe Madureira right now but expect his Street Fighter #13 cover to hit stores later this month. I still haven't gotten his Darkstalkers #1 powerfoil cover... I dont even know if it's in stores yet! It should be since DS #1 came out like a month and a half ago. Hopefully 2005 will be full of new Joe Madureira comic work and his new project at NCsoft will be hopefully be revealed. Until then, keep checking back for updates!

Since the Darkstalkers #1 powerfoil is just around the corner a nicer image of it has surfaced on the net. Check it out ! I think it looks alot better. Hopefully I'll be getting my copy in soon...

Over at Pop Culture Shock.com they posted the Devil's Due Comic releases for February. The great thing is that it included Joe Mad's Darkstalkers #4 pencils! Check out this awesome preview for the powerfoil.
