NEW STORY ARC
JOE MADUREIRA's beloved fantasy series returns in an action-packed new story, with art by game and comics sensation LUDO LULLABI! "Martial Law" tells the bloody tale of retired swordsman Garrison and the fugitive Red Monika as they face off against Maestro's gang of supernatural killers-the Martial Paladins! This long-awaited tenth issue is bursting at the seams with 36 pages of story and no ads!
I've waited over 20 years for Battle Chasers to return and I can say with zero hesitation that it was worth the wait. The story, character development, and world-building is a masterclass in sword and sorcery elevating the genre while at the same time making it uniquely its own. Read Full Review

Battle Chasers #10 manages to pick up its tale, characters, and world like it never left. The writing brings out the characters and their emotions wonderfully, while the book's moments of action are delivered with perfect precision thanks to the amazing artistic presentation Read Full Review
Its a more or less seamless extension of the series that was abandoned two decades ago. Madureira and company are picking it up like the last 20 years didnt even happen. Theres an almost heroic level of integrity in that faithfulness to the original series. Its a quick, breezy jaunt from beginning to end. Monika and Garrison return in a thoroughly enjoyable adventure that will hopefully lead to a series that runs much longer than the original one. Madureira and company have firmly resurrected a series that didnt appear to have any chance of ever returning to the comics rack. Read Full Review
Ludo Lullabi delivers some beautifully detailed and gorgeously exciting art. The characters look amazing and the action is fantastic. I love the style of art and how it perfectly complements the tone of the story. Read Full Review
This issue is an exemplary way of picking up where a story left off 20 years prior that appeases loyal fans and gains new readers. For those who are looking for an exciting and excellent fantasy-based comic, there is no other story this year better than this. Read Full Review
BATTLE CHASERS #10 forces Garrision and Red Monika to run for their lives from a squad of deadly hunters for a nail-biter of an issue. The story delivers heaps of action laced with dramatic nuance and tension. As a bonus, Lullabi's art is phenomenal. Read Full Review
The saga of Battle Chasers resumes without missing a beat. Madureira and Lullabi greet new and faithful readers with great storytelling and incredible visuals that encompasses why this series still connects with fans after 25 years! With the action and drama building back up, it is a perfect time to add this series to your comic book collection. Read Full Review
It is so much fun to have Battle Chasers back. Ludo Lullabi's illustrations are very fine, and Joe Madureira's script carries the energy that made the original comics so much fun alongside some welcome breathing room for the cast to grow. This is going to be fun to follow. Read Full Review
Although the story itself is filled with familiar fantasy tropes and the characters all resemble archetypes encountered all too often, Battle Chasers #10 moves too quickly for those tedious elements to detract much from a still-stylish return. Read Full Review
Battle Chasers #10 is frustrating. It isn't the welcome return one would hope and instead feels like a series and project whose time has passed. Like many “classic” series revived, it doesn't stand up so well and the nostalgia isn't quite enough to really hook you. Overall, a bummer. Read Full Review
Pretty good. I'm glad to finally see this series resume. It could've been a bit better, but after a 2 decade hiatus should one really expect perfection?
Lullabi's art is a decent enough replacement. And let's face it, if we waited for Madureira to do the art we'd likely be waiting another 20+ years for #11.
I'm sure most will agree that it's a welcome thing to see this unfinished series continue. The plot is simple enough, but over the years I really hoped for better should it have resumed. It's good enough, but it's pretty evident that Madureira's heart wasn't as in this as he more likely did this out of a sense of obligation. This series was the blast off hit of 1998 and had the potential to become big for years. It was truly a more
