Here’s what they had to say… “ You’ve been howling for this for a while now, Tenno! Sink your teeth into this jaw-dropping wolf-inspired Warframe concept art from celebrated comic artist and game designer Joe Madureira.”

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a variant cover by Joe Madureira, and this one is a first of its kind…. a manga variant cover for My Hero Academia!  The cover features Bakugo and the art was coloured by Marte Gracia (Who has collaborated with Joe in the past on his Inhumans run).  The book is being published by Ki-oon Éditions and is releasing October 6, 2022.

Battle Chasers Comic Update! Ludo has updated fans on the upcoming Battle Chasers comics, and has a few new images to share on the project. Here's what he said: BC NEWS : Issue 11 of Battle Chasers is finished (with two more pages than expected). Joe Madureira and I are still having a great time on the project and we're moving on to Issue 12. We'll give info on release dates as soon as possible. We want to move forward and make sure these episodes can be released without too much of a delay. 😊

The artist of Joe Madureira's upcoming Battle Chasers comics, Ludo Lullabi, shared some updates on the project. Some news about Battle Chasers. As you know "Ruined King" was released at the end of the year. There has been a lot of extra work on the game that has impacted the overall schedule and this has delayed a lot of things. However, Joe Madureira and I are continuing to work on BC and pushing forward as much as we can. We are currently on the last pages of issue #11. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience, I understand the frustration of some people, I hope I can deliver pages that meet your expectations! Ludo also shared some new Garrison artwork.

If you ordered the 'Ruined King: A League of Legends Story' Collected Edition, here's the print by Joe Madureira included with the bundle. It's a gorgeous piece featuring Illaoi and Gangplank. Check it out below! Joe tweeted, "Hey I can finally share this! One of my favorite drawings recently, this was for a print included in the Ruined King collector’s edition. Illaoi & GP in simpler times. It’s nice to break from action stuff and try to capture moments like these. #illaoi #gangplank @AirshipSyn " Joe also shared some rough sketches for the piece and said, " I liked the idea of portraying Illaoi as much younger and more vulnerable (before she became Kraken Priestess) but it felt too unlike her character."

With Airship Syndicate's 'Ruined King: A League of Legends Story' now released to the world, Joe Madureira finally has some time to get back to Battle Chaser's news. On twitter he posted, "In OTHER news: BC10 is art complete (32 hefty pages) and @ludolullabi is making great progress on #11. Which means we'll be able to confidently announce a date soon. Ruined King took much longer than we planned (check out Ludo's amazing work there too) but we are back on track!" He also mentioned, "I literally jump around giddy with every page, Ludo is just killing it! More news soon!" Ludo Lullani tweeted in response, "what a pleasure to be able to finally give some news about BC10. Ruined King took a much longer time than we thought. However it's coming along. What a pleasure to work on this comic with @JoeMadx " Breakdown of News Battle Chasers Issue 10 is DONE Issue 10 will be 32 pages Ludo Lullabi is making great progress on Issue 11

There's a few pieces of character concept art by Joe Madureira and our favourite colourist/artist Grace Liu  from the 'Ruined King: A League of Legends Story.' Check them out below! Here's what Grace had to say on her artstation post , "As a long-time League player (started before I joined Riot about 8 years ago, and still am one), it was really fun to see Joe Mad's take on League champions. Special call-out for Yasuo, I never liked that champion (do people still joke about Yasuo players anymore? Wow I feel old.) However, seeing Joe's take on his personality in both art and writing has completely changed my mind. Most of these are color support on Joe's lineworks. What an honor"
