Joe Madureira ! Fansite

Some great news today! The Battle Chaser's website has launched with some new information and concept art. The first bit of news is introducing the first in-game character....Gully! Be sure to check out the media section on their site for some great desktop wallpapers.

Joe Madureira posted a concept sketch of Calibretto for the currently in development Battle Chasers game. He mentions his armour is getting a bit of a facelift. Looks great so far!

It turns out the character tease from Joe the other day is not related to Battle Chasers at all. Here's his comments. This is a character I created for The World of Cassyno by Bengal. She's a Joker/Harlequin/Fool/Assassin. This card set and accompanying art book features some incredible artwork. If you haven't yet, check it out !!

Today Joe Madureira posted another piece of art, this time some concept sketches of Gully's Gauntlets. Weapons of mass destruction. #BattleChasers #gully #gauntlets #games #conceptart #comics #RPG @airshipsyn www.airshipsyndicate.com A photo posted by Joe Madureira (@joemadx) on Mar 3, 2015 at 11:59am PST

The Battle Chaser's love is growing fast from fans eager to get more details on the forthcoming game and comic book. Last night Joe posted a couple more character sketches featuring Gully and an unknown new character. Keep the artwork following Joe!

Joe Madureira fans have been dreaming for this day to come for the past 14 years... Battle Chasers is returning! Fans have pestered Joe to return to his creation for many years now and we've only seen bits and pieces here and there of our favourite characters (Battle Chasers Anthology, Comic Con Sketches of Monika, Gully, Knolan, Callibretto...). Joe has always said he wanted to come back to the series, but only when the time was right. It's a sigh of relief that he kept the promise because now is the time! Not only is he returning to the comic, but it's becoming a game by Airship Syndicate (made up of Ex-Vigil Games members) and possibly an animated series. Here's the interview from Polygon.com Battle Chasers returning as a game and comic book Fourteen years after putting the ninth issue of comic book Battle Chasers to bed, Joe Madureira is pulling it out of retirement. And he's bringing it back as both a comic and a game. In the late '90s, Mad...

The speculation was right! A storm has arrived... prepare for Battle!   See the *official* reveal tomorrow on Polygon.com at 9AM CST! For now, see the warrior who has returned for his legendary blade.

There could be some very exciting news coming in the next few days about what the first game title will be from Airship Syndicate. Joe has posted this teaser image on twitter and has said he's dying to tell his fans. The image looks like Garrison's sword from Battle Chasers and Joe's current twitter profile picture is of Garrison... sounds too good to be true! The sword could also be the Chaos eater from Darksiders.... the image has a dark vibe about it. Here are a few images of Garrison's sword from the Battle Chasers graphic novel. As you can see from a page in issue 5 the cross guard of the sword can change shape and it looks very similar to the sword in the Airship Syndicate teaser image. I'll keep you posted on any news that is revealed!

A kickstarter game, Duelyst, paid tribute to Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers by including a character model very similar to Calibretto! Thought it was a pretty cool thing to share. This week we're very excited to pay homage to one of our favorite artists by developing a special in-game battle unit called Caliber-O, a distant relative to the original battle unit (err, chaser). This artist has impacted our team so much in the last two decades as we recall trudging through rain and snow every week to the local comic book store to pick up our latest precious issues. Character Concept Art: Caliber-O Don't get mad if you can't figure out the artist we're paying homage to :P

Joe Madureira has continued on his fan art kick by drawing up this piece of Simon Belmont from Castlevania! He's hoping to reveal what he's working on shortly...stay tooned.

Joe Madureira has been a little nostalgic in the last month posting fan art of some of his favourite games/characters. Here's a fantastic piece from Suikoden 2!

Joe Madureira has partnered up with LeSean Thomas as a concept artist for a Cannon Busters animated series kickstarter! It's pretty amazing news since Joe is a huge fan of anime and animation which has inspired his own work as an artist. Here are some of the character concepts he has released. If you're a fan of anime or even just of Joe and LeSean you should definitely pledge to get this project funded. Who knows, it could inspire Joe to create a Battle Chasers Animated Series.

In a last minute decision Joe Madureira has decided to attend the New York Comic con. Here's the details. #nycc signing time update:   Saturday: 12-1pm and 3-4pm. Sorry for any inconvenience! PS: NY fans are the best. It's good to be 'home'. Check it out if you can!

Found these online today, Joe Mad's pencils for his Inhuman #4 and #6 variant cover. Hopefully Joe has more work coming out soon!

Marvel is pumping out issues of Inhuman! Issue four just came out which had a Joe Madureira variant, issue five is out September 10th (I don't believe Joe has a variant for it) and issue six is out September 24th which has this Joe Mad variant cover!

Turns out Joe Madureira has one more piece of art for Inhuman, a variant cover for issue #4. Check it out here.

Here are some preview pages for the climactic issue #3 of Inhumans. This will be Joe Madureira's final issue in his three issue run so hopefully we'll find out what he's up to next in the coming months. Could the Darksiders t-shirt be a hint? I hope so!

Joe has posted a few coloured pages up on twitter, both featuring the special guest in InHuman #2 Captain America! This is probably one of my favourite pages in the book so far.

It looks like Captain America is making an appearance in InHuman #2! Check out these preview pencils for the second issue due out May 7th!

Over at Newsarama.com they have a preview of Inhuman #1 plus show off some variant covers by Jeff Scott Campbell and Humberto Ramos!
