Battle Chasers

Battle Chasers is an American fantasycomic book series written and illustrated by Joe Madureira. First published by Image Comics as part of WildStorm's Cliffhanger imprint (founded by Madureira with J. Scott Campbell and Humberto Ramos), the series left that imprint in 2001, after which was published by Image Comics' central office.

The series was characterized by scheduling problems, with an average of about six months between issues, including a delay of 16 months for issue #7. Madureira produced a total of nine issues in four years (publishing two to three a year), a pace for which he was criticized, before leaving the comic industry to pursue a career as a video game designer. The cliffhanger ending of issue #9 was not resolved for over 20 years; issue #10 was originally scheduled for November 2001, put on indefinite hiatus with Madureira's exit from the industry, and returned only as abstract plans and concept drawings from 2017 to early 2023. It was published in June 2023 and continued the plot after a two-page recap.
