Over on The Geek Portal they\’ve posted up a short editorial praising the quality of Skullkickers. Who are we to disagree?
\”Not only is the dialogue exciting, funny and just downright clever, but the artwork is a mixture of oldschool Warhammer/Lord of the Rings that we love with a new age edge that knocks you off your rockers.\”

Our pals at Broken Frontiers have a review of Skullkickers #13 as part of their Image 20th anniversary content and they\’re very happy to be heading to the Seven Seas with us.
\”…writer Jim Zub and artist Edwin Huang cast their nets on a story teeming with mysticism, laughs, and wonder at every turn of the page.\”

Andrew Leslie at the Freakin\’ Awesome Network has a special advance review of Skullkickers #13 (which arrives in stores tomorrow) and he\’s thrilled with the start to our 3rd story arc.
\”Skullkickers outshines its own genre (fantasy) to provide readers with a story that anyone can love, even if you’re not a fan of elves, wizardry and the consumption of mead.\”

Direcow at Here Be Geeks gives a review run through of Skullkickers Volume 1 & 2 in preparation for this week\’s release of Skullkickers Treasure Trove!
\”the moment the comic uses \’Skull Kick\’ as a sound effect – and when it actually finally does – man, you rise from your seats, fists in the air, waving, shouting, HAVE AT THEE\”

This coming weekend is one of our favorite shows, Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, Washington!
Last year we premiered the first trade paperback at the show and this year we\’re following up with even more goodies.

Emerald City is the first show you\’ll be able to purchase Skullkickers Treasure Trove, our oversized hardcover collection of volume 1 & 2 of Skullkickers, packed with bonus material from the issues and never before published extras.

In addition, Jim will be on two panels over the weekend:
Writers Unite! Pitching Your Creator-Owned Comics
Room: 201
Saturday 3:00pm
Creator-owned comics have grabbed the imagination of the comic-reading community all over again and publishers are looking for fresh ideas from a new generation of talent. Listen closely as independent comic creators discuss pitching their hit comic series and offer advice on how to climb to the top of the treacherous submission mountain.
Featuring Jim Zub (Skullkickers), Ray Fawkes (Possessions, Mnemovore, One Soul), Joe Keatinge (Glory, Hell Yeah!), Charles Soule (27, Strongman) and Kurtis Wiebe (Peter Panzerfaust, The Intrepids, Green Wake)
Behind The Table: Con Horror Stories
Room: 3AB
Sunday 11:00am
Join Katie Cook, Jim Zub and friends as they tell tales about what it can be like behind the convention table. Stories like that of a man in California that introduced a fox puppet as his son, to a man in a tiger costume that talked about his removable loincloth… sometimes the folks that go to conventions really are \”those weirdoes\”. Some stories will make you laugh out loud, some will make you cringe! (May not be appropriate for all ages)
ECCC is going to be great! We can\’t wait to see you there!

It happened again – we made a book!
Skullkickers Treasure Trove, the oversized Skullkickers vol. 1 & 2 combo hardcover with extras, arrives at comic shops April 4th (next week). $34.99 for 304 pages of awesome monster mashy fantasy action-comedy goodness.
If you haven\’t read Skullkickers yet, this beauty is made to convert you into a fan. If you are a fan, this is your desirable high quality format upgrade.
We cannot wait until you guys get a copy in your hands. It turned out awesome!
