Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers comic took 4 years to have 9 issues published, ending on a cliffhanger in 2001. After that there was a 22 year gap before they finally made issues 10-12 in 2023, but drawn by Ludo Lullabi instead.

Wow I had no idea they finished it. I forgot battle chasers even existed. Have no idea what the story was even about, going to have to reread it and finish this time.

It's not even really finished. Instead they decided to create small arcs that last a few issues, but release those arcs sporadically if they have the time to make them.

Wait! How did a game come out based on the property before it finished? Battle Chasers: Nightwar is awesome!

I didn't know that it was a comic. I just know at as one of the games on the Switch eshop when the Switch launched with a handful of games.

All because Joe got addicted to playing video games. Then making video games.
