"a kid weilding giant power gloves? whats not to love?"this really is a great series and i hope joe mad finishes it up (after he fininshes the awesome game "darksiders"). it is totally action driven, with the art in the forefront. some really cool characters and interesting plot that NEEDS to be finished!
The story seems promising but is kind of drab. This comic had potential to go further if Mad had done something more. Hint.Overall the concept and the art make this worth having on the shelf, or at least a trip to the library.
It's Joe Mad. So, despite how good or bad the story is, this gets a 5 star from me. His art is just cool.
Fun story about a girl who inherits some power gloves that everybody else seems to want. Very nice artwork.
One of the best drawn, and written comic series of all time. It's just too bad that the artist then took a year, sometimes two years off to get out one issue.
I have no idea why this is so beloved. It was ok.
Ace fantasy epic.
I was in the prime of my comic obsession when Joe Madureira hit the scene, and I'll admit that his thick-lined, anime-inspired, Exalted-style designs generally really did it for me back then. They're still a perfect example of a certain kind of art style, and he can design a big goofy robot like nobody's business.I had a few issues of this series when I was younger and thought it was awesome looking, and so when I picked up this volume it was, we'll say, with some trepidation. And rightly so. Ge...
There's no doubt the art is 5/5, however the story is lucky if it's 2/5. For what was supposed to be an epic fantasy series, the story hadn't even started. There's no clear set up of what is coming, what the A plot is, or what the stakes are. We are just given a handful of vignettes to showcase the artists skills before the series abruptly ceased, mid-vignette.This in itself is poor, but not as poor as Madureira's work ethic, an artist who once said his problem was that he struggled to drag hims...
So Battle Chasers has had an interesting history. A total of 10 issues were released throughout 4 years...yikes! Well this collection has the first five issues. Artist Joe Madureira did a great stint on Uncanny X-Men and he and a few others formed Cliffhanger! Comics. Battle Chasers focuses on a wizard, a knight, a rogue, a robot, and a kid. Art is manga inspired. Story is fine as is the art.
One of the best comics I've ever read. The fantasy style writing, mixed with comic book classic black outlining. The don't make them like that anymore.
The story picks up from where something has ended and you have no clue what it is. This must be a book for the video game fans
Wish Joe M would get a solid team of co-writers and partner up with Carlos D'Anda to revive this series.
It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time when the three Cliffhanger series - Danger Girl, Crimson, and Battle Chasers - ruled the comics world. The creators behind these three eagerly anticipated and heavily promoted series took the world by storm much the same way the founding Image creators did half a decade earlier.Battle Chasers was the product of Joe Madureira's vivid imagination. Madureira was coming of a high profile run on Uncanny X-Men, and wanted to focus on a sword and sorcery f...
My memory of this story is better than the reality of it. I remember getting excited when the individual issues were published. I only own 8 of the 10 issues plus several variant covers. I also remember waiting for months at a time because the artist couldn’t meet the monthly suspense to publish comic his readers were all excited for. Now having gone back & reread this story really disjointed in its telling (I’m sure for the obvious reason). It’s due to this book that I lost all interest in read...
When I borrowed this, I wasn't expecting much, but it's certainly worth a read if you're into fantasy comics. Although not usually my thing, the story was interesting and well-paced with varied (if slighty stereotypical) characters and some genuinely funny and emotive parts. The writing isn't amazing, but perhaps because the writer is also the artist - and this is where the book's strength is. The art is absolutely staggering, with almost every panel given the same attention that would normally
Ok so Joe Mad had the greatest run on an X-Men title since Jim Lee, and maybe that's why we expected so much from this. It's going to take more than a big titty red head to sell this title. How about you just come out with the comic on fucking scheduled? I was totally into these cliffhanger comics until they wasted my time. I think only 3 issues came out of this one. What the hell?
This comic has some of the most action oriented visuals thanks to Joe Mad the artist, I have every seen. Based on art alone this book would have easily earned 5 stars, but sadly the book ends in mid-stream of the story and is never really finished in the later issues.
*Sigh*The amazing art style tries SO HARD to cover up average storytelling and boring characters. The story is often hard to follow from panel to panel.Each panel though could be blown up as a poster, though. No denying Joe Mad has style.
