A Titans tussle Thursday : Battle Chasers !

While I am still trying to finish my last surprise post about SCOOBY APOCALYPSE I took a breather from the bonus section because the part about breast reactor Mia and casting her in a movie as Disney's Jasmin from Aladdin or Violet Pharr from The Incredibles is getting longer and longer so I went through my folders to see what my next post could be.

And as it so happens I never did a follow up to my Joe Madureira post on UNCANNY X - MEN / BATTLE CHASERS I did over four and a half years ago.

So I spent most of Today looking for new original art - as I tend to do before starting a new post just to make sure I have the best original artwork that's available at the moment - and at first it looked like I'd have to make do with what I already had but now I found so much new art that I decided to make two new posts - or one new post in two parts.

Now usually there is a size requirement for the original art I post on the blog and that's not because I am an art snob but if you go below that threshold you really can't see anything. So there are a lot of pieces that are just barely above that point and I was thinking of putting only the best pieces into the first part and then the stuff that is not so good in the second part. But the pieces that are of lower quality are dispersed over various issues and that would make the whole thing too confusing.

So I have decided to go in publishing order which means that all of the original art that I found from issues one and two will be in this spotlight while all the original art in our next post will be from issues three to six.

There is also some artwork from issues six to some unpublished artwork from the issue ten that never came out plus some pages from issue two of FRANK FRAZETTA'S FANTASY ILLUSTRATED but I think for the moment two new BATTLE CHASERS posts should be enough. Also that material is from the issues where Joe Madureira was already taking a lot of time with the issues and instead of having them inked by a professional they inked them digitally. They already used AI to make comics back then.

And I know that there are some guys who like it when they use the original pencils in a comicbook but me, I want the book to be inked the old fashioned way. Because the way I see it they want all of my money not only seventy - five percent so they should finish the book and ink it before colouring it. Anyway, since this is already our second BATTLE CHASER post - and I also wrote about the series in this post from 2017 - we can go directly in medias res and we will continue this in the second part which will be up as soon as I finish putting the pictures in this post.
