After 20+ years, a cult classic is returning to a comic book store near you!
Taking to twitter on Tuesday, original creator Joe Madureira announced the upcoming continuation…
Battle Chasers original run from 1998 to 2001 under the Cliffhanger brand which was an imprint of Wildstorm at the time has garnered a cult following after stopping after book #9 which was released by Image Comics. Many years have gone by with fans looking to Madureira in hopes of a continuation and in 2015, the Kickstarter for Battlechasers: Nightwar went live, and by the end had surpassed it’s original goal by over $300,000 dollars. The momentum from the game seem to do the trick and here we are in 2023 hopefully getting book #10.
While the June 14th is a little ways off, we do know that Madureira won’t be handling the art duties aside from what looks to be cover work in these future issues. That has now been handed over to Ludo Lullabi who is best known for his work on the World of Warcraft comic series. This has been met with a bit of a mixed response, but some have been willing to accept the change as it will allow thew series to move forward.
Personally this fan who have multiple variants of issue #1, a dynamic forces edition of issue #2 and the complete series, is pretty damn excited.
