??? He did not really finish BatteChasers. He hired someone to finish it for him. The artwork looks..... nothing like Madureira. It says story by Madureira.... and that seems to be the end of his contribution. Although the credits do mention a cover by Mad..... but not the version I have.... and I did not see the Mad cover.... if there is one. Even the colors are nothing like the early issues. The series had nice bright colors.... but the latest issues are colored like mud. :( :(
Oh, I know Joe was really hands off on those final issues and I agree it's unfortunate. I should have been more clear about that in the video, but I was so shocked that the series was getting an ending I forgot to check out how it was being done. I would have much preferred he had finished the series the way he started it. However, I was also surprised that he even went so far as to wrap it up the way that he did. I had completely lost hope that Battle Chasers would every receive an ending of any kind. It definitely could have been better though. Sadly, this is very often the case with independent comic books. I've seen many great stories fizzle out with bad endings, or even worse, get no ending at all. Every time I find an "indy gem" I always cross my fingers that the creator will be motivated to finish the story, and live long enough to do so.
Cool video!...(u sound like u grew up with the original BC series) as i did aswell & knew All too well about the inconsistencies that happened with that book ..very curious to know what u think about the last 3issues recently released?!? Altough i am a fan of the series & joe mad i just he needs to honor long time fans with Actually Doing the Interiors of the New series himself!!..(& until then it just wont be the Real Battle Chasers)..that's just my opinion
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the last 3 issues as of yet. I, like a lot of people, wasn't aware that the series was getting finished this year so I didn't tell my local shop to order the issues for me. Looks like I'll have to buy them online. I share your disappointment that Joe didn't pencil the final 3 issues, but I'm honestly so surprised that he finished the series in the first place I'm willing to count that as a win by itself.
