Never Retreat In Battle! Mad Cave Announces Two 1/100 Crusader Variants!

May the most righteous prevail! Coming this September is Mad Cave Studios’ newest creator-owned fantasy series, CRUSADER, written and drawn by Matt Emmons, with letters by Andriy Lukin! To celebrate this all-new series, we’ve teamed up with legendary illustrators Artyom Trakhanov (UNDERTOW, ENFORCER) and Jonathan Luna (THE SWORD, SPIDER WOMAN: ORIGIN) to create two limited-edition Mad Cave Exclusive variant covers of the highly-anticipated CRUSADER #1!

Limited to a print run of 100 each, be sure to collect your very own copy before they vanish into the ether!

A Templar Knight finds himself transported to a dangerous realm known as the Beastlands. With sinister entities known as The Masters hunting him down, all he has is his sword and a weird, goblin-like creature named Grimbel to guide him through this strange new world.

“This has been a fun challenge! I’ve been trying to capture the feeling of a pulpy, fun adventure story that embodies everything I’ve loved about the genre, and I hope it translates,” said Matt Emmons. “I’ve also been wanting to draw Pilgrim in action for years, so it’s very exciting to finally bring him to the page.”

“CRUSADER, is an adventurous title that won’t leave fantasy fans disappointed,” said Andriy Lukin. “It’s a story of reevaluating your goals and principles, filled with awesome art, memorable characters and great action scenes! I’m very excited to help Matt with his artistic vision and I hope our readers will appreciate the work we put into this series!”

CRUSADER #1 is now available for pre-order on the official Mad Cave Studios website. Final order cut-off (FOC) for retailers is Aug. 14th, and will be available at your favorite bookstore, local comic shop, and digital comic readers on September 6th!
