The 18 year wait for Battle Chasers #10 0

[oldmilwaukee6er]

I read some his Uncanny & Battle Chasers back in the day, and the lady plays the Darksiders & Battle Chasers games...

So we were discussing the two articles below regarding Joe Madureira not delivering on donor-funded rewards for the 2015 Battle Chasers Nightwar Kickstarter project, namely the promised issues of Battle Chasers #10-12.

There are lots of interesting discussion points [crowdfunding by established artists, his start at Marvel at 16, squandered potential (in comics), motivation in young artists]... and while Joe Mad always struggled to put out more than 3 months of consectuive issues, the most fascinating to me is that you could LITERALLY give Madureira 850K, 18 years, and he still would not finish a Battle Chasers comic.

I just had this same conversation at the LCS this past week.  We talked about more than just Joe Mad though.

I am really not surprised he is passing the torch, so to speak, it is sad that he is not finishing what he started.

He's the Jay Cutler of comics. 

Had a ton of potential, but marginal motivation.  

Okay, a little mean.  He did more than Cutler.

LOL - nice.  Cutler had more talent than Joe Mad.  Cannon arm.  Mad couldn't draw bc his arm got so tired - Cutler could throw bombs more or less indefinitely...just never to his own team...
