BATTLE CHASERS #10 to Hit Comic Shop Shelves After 20 Years and It Looks Gorgeous
Battle Chasers is a comic series from Joe Madureira from back in the day with the ninth issue ending on a cliffhanger and issue #10 never released. Until now. Image Comics recently announced that they’ll be publishing Battle Chasers #10 on June 14 at local comic shops. The comic is written by Madureira with artwork by Ludo Lullabi and it looks gorgeous! I’ve never heard of Battle Chasers before, but looking at the preview (included below) I really want to go read it. That art is absolutely killer.
Battle Chasers #10 promises fans an action-packed new story, with art by game and comics sensation Lullabi. In this new story arc, titled “Martial Law,” readers are introduced to the bloody tale of retired swordsman Garrison and the fugitive Red Monika as they face off against Maestro’s gang of supernatural killers—the Martial Paladins!
Talking to io9, Madureira shared:
I've been really moved over the years by the level of excitement Battle Chasers still generates decades after its original release. With the success of the Battle Chasers game 'Nightwar' and a TV show in the works, it felt like the perfect time to drop some new books. Working with these characters again has healed some part of my soul, and Ludo's artwork is so incredible, I can't wait for readers to get their hands on it.
If you also missed out on Battle Chasers, don’t fret. You can now read The Battle Chasers Anthology trade paperback available from your local comic shops, bookstores, or wherever you like to buy comics. Plus, there’s a video game called Battle Chasers: Nightwar based on the comics available on mobile, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One (affiliate link) and a TV show is on the way. Are you excited for the return of Battle Chasers? Are you going to jump into it for the first time?
