What can I say about Battle Chasers that hasn't already been said about Barack Obama? Its great looking! Fresh & Original, it inspires us to be better...It seems to have made one too many promises. Looks like a fantasy but is really quite mainstream. Battle Chasers is the story of five adventurers who's stories intertwine and eventually bind them to one another. It really does epitomize the "sword and sorcery" genre. I would even go as far as saying that Battle Chasers was to fantasy comics what Battlestar Galactica was to Sci-Fi television. An inspirational beacon. "This is possible if you let go of trivial conventions". The artwork is BRILLIANT. Joe Madureira is a virtuoso (and that's not a term I throw around). Tom McWeeney laid down bold solid inks. "Liquid!" was not only the best digital coloring team around, they put in 105% on BC. And last but not least, Richard Starkings and Comicraft did the best lettering i've EVER see in a comic (and that was 10 years ago!!!).
This collected edition combines every issue, sketch, flyer, and anything else printed pertaining to Battle Chasers. It is in fact complete. Even has things we've never see like Mad's from his X-Men days. Kind of pricey, but so comprehensive that its totally worth it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. FYI, I payed full price at a local comic shop...proudly!
