Joe Madureira Documentary - From Comics to Games | Gameumentary 

Age of Apocalypse is one of the greatest X-Men stories of all time.

Joe Mad truly is an inspiration on anyone who wants to get into a life of drawing as a career. Anyone can do it, but you just gotta work for it!

I don't know why but i'd love to see him do a few pages of a iconic BERSERK manga scene

Its thanks to this guy that I am now working in game industry as concept artist/comic artist

My first intro to Joe was his entry into the Xmen series and I followed him ever since.

Ever since I saw his Ultimates book Who Killed Scarlet Witch I've never forgot about this guy's stunning style. Not to mention I saw him talk about the book at a panel way back when it came out, made a big impression. Keep killing it, Joe!

Joe is such an inspiration. I was one of those kids that used to draw all the time as kid, but when I was younger I didn't know I could do it as a career so I went into programming, but I always kept a sketchpad growing up out of pure enjoyment of the craft. Now I'm older, wiser, and with a lot of hard work I'm now making a decent living as a creative with people like Joe constantly inspiring me to keep growing everyday. Thank you!

How does a humble, fellow artist and fan get an audience with the great J.MAD!? I didn't think Joe could get any cooler...... BUT then he said, "Record of Lodoss War." Joe now sits on the top of my comic "HEROES" list alongside Jim Lee and a few others.

Thank you for delivering a completely fresh gaming content the likes of which we haven't seen, and sorely needed! #JoeMadureira is the artist who got me into comics when I first came to US. at a local shop here in NYC where I picked BattleChasers! Can't wait for more videos.

I love his comic work! Age of Apocalypse is one of my all time favorite storylines!

Glad I was there from the beginning!!! Love you Joe Mad!!!

It seemed really strange when he abruptly left Battle Chasers behind... I know a lot of fans were left wondering wtf had happened to him. It's a shame because I think he could've made much more of an impact had he stayed in comics... but he seems happy now with what he's doing so good on him

This guy doesn't seem to comprehend how good he is!

If JoeMad ever came back to the Comic Book industry it would be like Prime Michael Jordan coming back to today’s NBA and taking everyone to school of Hard Knocks and reminding everyone why he’s the GOAT.

Joe was one of my favorite X-Men artists

I collected all Battle Chasers books and was and am still fascinated with Joe's skills. I am hopeful that he returns to his line. I am a true fan.

Awesome documentary! ... Still want a lot more! ;) Can't wait for what is coming next!

I love his works in Wolverine series in the 90's and early 2000s.

Great doc! Really loved it!

the time he was a new artist at Marvel, that was when i was beginning to collect xmen comics... i thought he was just swiping anime but he slowly incorporated his americanized style and it looked fantastic, until now, i still have all his uncanny xmen issues.

Joe Madureira is my FAVOURITE artist. Followed by Kohei Horikoshi ❤

Madureira is an icon!

I also went to the High School of Art & Design. Much more than drawing bowls and fruit. Great specialized high school, for a young artist. Great teachers and creative atmosphere.

Thank you! Man I wish be an Inter at Joe MAds, or Adam Kubert!

i’m still waiting for he coming back on battle chasers comics

Been a fan of Joe's since X-men. One of the best comic book artists of all time. Just fantastic. Major influence in the industry. One of the biggest, baddest artists I've ever followed. Up there with Miller, Todd, Bisley, Corben, Steranko, Adams, Chaiken, Wrightson, Starlin, Byrne. Just a fantastic visionary.By the way fantastic doc. Long time coming.

Joe Madureira you are talented bro wish you were there to make and be part for Darksiders 3 !! and wish for the forth darksiders design by you!

Could you imagine Joe Mad the plumber or construction worker?

I like how he was shocked at how women like Red Monika too, the media seems to put a bad spin on characters like her but it's clear with all these cosplaers that women love characters like her as well. Hell Red Monika was the comic book Christina Hendricks and you know how much women love Joan from Mad Men.

I loved his early style of his art better than the later stuff. I didn't care for the anime look in his characters. I liked when they looked a little more realistic but not to realistic. I hate super realistic art. Looks stiff and boring. He had a well balanced style, before the Battle Chasers stuff. Like his 90s style was super dope!!

Who dislikes these vids?....seriously?!

Wow tease much lol giving me that Darksiders wallpaper and soundtrack at the end but not even a single question of that I get it I get it it will be in the Darksiders documentary.

comecei a desenhar por causa desse cara !

Loved his art but he was always so late to publishing his comics that I stoped buying his stuff

Stay focus finish on what you started

I wish he’d draw more

Cool channel! Thanks

Oddly enough, I was hooked on his art after Uncanny #312, 313. His work after those issues felt rushed, and, not as detailed.

Record Of Lodoss War!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a shame this guy, just like J. Scott Campbell, and many of the Image artists had an issue with deadlines once they became independent from the big publishers...if you are lucky those guys make a comic per year

Is Roger Cruz still around? You can see he was heavily influenced by J. Scott Campbell and Joe Madureira.

Great artist, but he really let me down with the lateness of Battle Chasers.

Those image star artists became like prima donnas and just didnt commit to their art and their fans. Battle Chasers took almost a yeat to end and theres no story really. Its all about cool characters presentation and giant tits and monsters. No big deal. Its was let down to fans because it could be a masterpiece. But Joe didnt care anymore about comics like he said in this doc. He was already working for the game industry and abandoned that creat world of Batlle Chasers. He is not a good person.

0:53 LMAO even on the Joe Madureira documentary they can't spell his name right.

He seems pretty unreliable.Great artist though

Joe Mad's style is marginal at best! It's manga driven. It's a dead art form in America!

Wow, he looks terrible... but then again I only ever saw that one same photo of him in Wizard. Good artist, but perhaps the least prolific creator in comics history.

Does JoeMad realize he's someone who created a generational style shift in the American comic book industry? Much like Kirby, Buscema, Romita, Neal Adams, Arthur Adams, Byrne, Jim Lee. He was the one who successfully merged the Japanese art style with American comics. Put simply... He's an art LEGEND

the laziest talented artist.

I’m sure like a lot of fans of Joe, I wish he finished BattleChasers. Such a great imaginative series!

Been a Joe Mad fan since his Uncanny X-Men days.

I have that book! Lol. It's like "the holy book" for beginner comic artists. Back then, that is.

Age of Apocalypse. Was my oxygen. The Sabertooth/Holocaust story line with Joe's artwork. I still own those comics and at least once a year I would read it. Just phenomenal work

"Drawing Comics The Marvel Way"... wow, absolutely on point! I used the same book before going to School of Visual Arts! Helped a great deal, esp. understanding perspective.

Blizzard's art team has basically been doing a not-as-good-as-the-real-thing Joe Madureira impression for more than a decade. He's had incredible influence on the medium of video games.

Does Joe know that a lot of comic fans would rather read BC 10-12 and have a conclusion rather than playing his okay games?

Finish damn battle chasers!!!!

This is so awesome! I've been replaying Darksiders 2 and I am in love with his art style and the world that was built. Can't wait for the full Darksiders doc!

Joe looks jacked... almost as a superhero.

to me.... Mad is maybe the very best #1 american comic artist

I wish this would have been a 2 hr interview at least!, but it was great as it was though!

Great stuff. Subbed.

His hands were drawn so fucking big it was bigger than his heads!

Great stuff!!!! Joe is a killer artist and still a big fan of his art. Would love to see a one shot book of his take on Moon Knight, Ghost Rider,Hellboy, even a Dr Strange would be awesome!!

Met Joe back in 2010 at a comic convention here in NYC. Dude is super chill, respectful and appreciative. He’s a great person and deserves every penny of his success. Took some pics of him signing my comics at the convention, but somehow lost the pics over the years. Dang.

Joe! Finish Battle Chasers!!!

Joe Madureira You need to create more Battle Chaser style games but with Assassin and Rogue class characters your art is very good and Battle Chaser style RPGs need to be created. Congratulations

The one reason darksiders caught my attention was the amazing art style

love Joe"s art and love your documentary guys! Awesome work! Thank you a lot

Thank you so much for this interview. MAD! is my favorite artist and a true legend

Joe Mad! What a great artist he is. Battle-chasers was a great book. The artwork was so energetic and bold. Great colors by liquid too. I recently illustrated a graphic novel called, "Bleen". As a young artist, I was very inspired by The Art of Joe Mad. You rock Joe!

I've been a fan of Joe Mad since I was a kid reading X-Men way back in the day, and despite also being a game dev in Austin, Ive never crossed paths with him. Having said that, I only watched this video to see how his name is pronounced. I have not once in my life have ever heard anyone say his name, and I have no idea to this day how to pronounce it.

This man, I owe him so much and he doesn't know. Professional video game developer but my my career to this point pretty much started through drawing, redrawing, and redrawing his work on Uncanny X-Men.

My idol. Thank you for doing this, guys.

This dude is so chill. LOL. Seems really cool and easy going. I thought his art stood out immediately when I first saw it--very expressive and animated.

My friend who I consider as my brother is a huge fan of Joe Madureira and he's a budding illustrator trying to develop his own comic ( I should know because I am assisting with some elements) Seeing this made me see why he is. This is why it's always important to show the faces behind our entertainment. We got to delve into this man's thought process. Before this doc, I was an admirer of his art but by the end of the doc, I'm a fan of the man himself. This doc has probably influenced more people to pick up a pencil and draw. That's always a good thing. Always remember that you can be where he is. Just keep working at what you do and never let others tell you that you aren't good enough. If you really know you have the talent, that's enough validation. Peace y'all

Joe Madureira had mad skills of drawing!

Joe Mad is the first comic book artist who's work actually moved me ... I was heavy into Uncanny X Men ... His work blowed me away ... Long live Joe Mad !

Noooo, my friend. Uncanny X-Men? You deserved it. If I compare the between issues and "guest" artists to Mad during his run, the quality of art is so horrible. Mad did a phenomenal job on that book.

Great interview! Love Joe Mad's art. It's great that he continued the Battle Chasers comic after issue ten, and am looking forward to the next volume of the book.

I had 3 stores when this guy took over X Men and sales died more and more every month. Really not sure how or why this guy gets so much credit when the reality is that sales on the number 1 book were cut in half during his time. Marvel tried to adopt his style to all X titles and that killed those as well. I'd argue he was one of the major factors in half the stores closing during his time drawing the books. After Xmen did he ever even complete a single run he started? Him and Romita Jr are the most over rated guys in the industry. Title and store killers!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome video, one of my fav comic artists, i bought every issue i could get my hands on when he was doing xmen

Battle chasers: nightwar is incredible jrpg in my opinion. It was my favorite game of 2017. And perhaps my personal fave on jrpg style games. I really wish Joe with airship syndicate/gunfire games would make darksiders 4 to be more akin to darksiders 2. That also is a 9/10 game to me. I had to get the battle chasers anthology after playing these games.

What I find so weird is how many of these incredible artists do not appreciate how much they impacted people around the world. I was exposed to Akira and so on just two or so years before I was exposed to Joe Mad doing X-Men. At first, as a kid, I hated Joe Mads stuff. The change from JRJR and so on was just too wild for me. But I was so won over after a few issues that I was like "Why not?". A few issues down the road, when there would be a fill in, not to name any names but I would be like "WTF is this?" He has drawn some of my favorite X-Men comics of all times, stories that I will never forget because of the pacing, detail and a million other things I couldnt really appreciate then. The kinetic energy of fights just totally went out of it when it was a fill in. As nice as it is to be humble, I really feel sad that people like Mads and even Frank Quietly and Darrow are out there saying they dont feel their work is any good when they were absolutely crushing it. I guess an artist is never happy with his work and sometimes you are given some bullshit stuff to draw, but my goodness. I remember sitting on the other side of the world reading a Wizard profiling a young Mads about to or just had started on X-Men and just being so jealous. Artists, big up yourselves

Omg his Hot 🥵 I remember I used to have his Xmen Comic book love his drawings and I used to have Xmen age of Apocalypse now I miss them

One of his works is a my favorite I talk about Deadpool the circle chase but if that Deadpool’s first comic was came out on 1994 or 1995 it was really better

Take a shot every time Joe says the word, "LIKE". You will be dead within MINUTUES.

He is simply the BEST of the industry currently

My favorite comic book artist of ALL TIME #🐐

have been waiting for this!

it would be interesting if he did the following a thor one shot and a green lanter serise

What happened to Battle Chasers... the last issue was a Cliffhanger?

Joe MAD! another great artist from the mid 90's

Man I Love his art...one of my favorites ever.

It's awsome 🤩 💕 😘 I can't believe it 😱

Yasss! My fav artist!

Idk watching this made me really happy. I seriously and sincerely want to thank all the donors and patrons from the kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for making this documentary possible. I followed a plethora of artist like S.platt, Jim Lee, Joe Mad, Todd McFarlane, Mark Sylvestri, Michael Turner, even Rob Liefeld, etc etc. Too many to name and remember. I thank you all

What I think is great about this vídeo is how Joe Mad credits everyone, from his influences to J. Scott Campbell, Humberto Ramos, Munier Sharrieff, David Adams and Ryan Stefanelli, among others. I know it shouldn't surprise me, but it does.

12:20 create sexual female character. Males AND females love her and she amasses a fan following. Dramatically desexualize her... I never understood this logic

awesome!
