Congratulations! It’s awesome when dreams come true. The Battle Chasers Cover is awesome. As is the IHF #1 variant you got in return. It’s definitely a fav.

Was smiling the entire time reading this man, HUGE congrats!!! I was so unbelievably PUMPED when it was announced Joe Mad was doing a cover for IHF! Two of my favorite artists coming together. And now this?! It's just freakin' cool to see. Makes it even more worth it reading this post and seeing just how excited you are! It's crazy like you said how life just lines up sometimes and when you least expect it. Congrats again Skottie and I can't wait to add this to the collection!

You're absolutely welcome! Your stories are always so relatable and easy to connect to! Especially this one as I've got the same Darksiders logo tattoo Joe does on his left arm. He's just such an awesome artist!

Thanks for writing this post, Skottie! I know nothing about Battle Chasers but reading this time capsule into your pre cartoonist career and the energy and dreams you had then put together with the gratitude you have now; that’s just a perfect blend of sweetness. My favorite posts are when you tell us a little about your life so this one is up there. Congratulations, man.
