Battle Chasers Issue 10 Gotham Central Comics Variant Cover by Mike Del Mundo

A tenth variant cover is available for Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers issue 10 from Gotham Central Comics  featuring art from Mike Del Mundo .  The cover has Gully punching out a monster with her gauntlet in what looks like a homage to a Muhammad Ali boxing pose. Big news, did a BATTLE CHASERS cover for issue #10 with Gully in the famous Muhammad Ali pose. Words can’t express how much I’ve missed this book. Battle Chasers was one of the pinnacle books that I learned and studied from. One of the Holy Grails that never left my drawing table so when Gotham Central Comics hit me up to collab on a retail variant for Issue 10, I was ecstatic, I did not hesitate. Joe Madureira is a beast 🐐 and being able to be a part of the Battle Chasers Legacy is a privilege.

First he's some early concept art for Project Skylight (Which is now Wayfinder).  Next here's some marketing artwork for the game featuring the main heros (aka Wayfinders). Here's some high resolution images of the individual Wayfinders: Wingrave The Seeker Wingrave is a templar clad in spell-forged armor and sustained by his faith in the Architects.
