The character designs were very nice (I love the little girl with giant gloves that give her super strength), but I never got a sense of the story itself.<br /><br />I think it's just the rarity (or maybe perceived rarity?) of the kind of story at the time.Samaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390821139505287622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21882383.post-31316775995665418442011-04-15T11:39:30.252-05:002011-04-15T11:39:30.252-05:00Yeah, I know he is a good artist and that he was t...Yeah, I know he is a good artist and that he was the first to bring in a "new" style.

Joe Mad's haphazard publishing schedule probably reduced the overall reader base for Battle Chasers, but made him even more of a legend.<br />many good artists rode Mad's coattails to success in the industry.Samaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390821139505287622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21882383.post-60707622765680926712011-04-15T05:06:12.734-05:002011-04-15T05:06:12.734-05:00Ok please tell me why this book is all that?Ok please tell me why this book is all that?Vee (Scratch)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06565744565399935705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21882383.post-48187585662487364752011-04-14T21:43:08.581-05:002011-04-14T21:43:08.581-05:00looks good but I think i wait till it's cheape...looks good but I think i wait till it's cheaper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21882383.post-87944566575858068322011-04-14T19:07:19.701-05:002011-04-14T19:07:19.701-05:00I wouldn't pay that hundred, either.

Does this come with a short film and some coloring books or something? This came out when I was a working teenager so I definitely copped every copy but is this collection worth me paying for again? Heh, who am I kidding I will probably still buy it anyway.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109772022524526805noreply@blogger.com
