Skullkickers artist Edwin Huang has been announced as a guest at Wizardworld’s Big Apple Comic Con, May 21-22 at the Penn Plaza Pavilion in New York City. If you live in the New York area make sure you head to the show to meet him there!

In and around holiday festivities we’ve had a few new Skullkickers #4 reviews roll in.

“Jim Zub’s writing is fun and breezy, Edwin Huang and Misty Coats provide some great, anime style art with crisp, clean colors, and the whole thing is just, well… Fun.”

“Skullkickers is a D&D inspired world where, like the game itself, the deeper you get into it the better it gets. With each issue Zubkavich is able to squeeze in more tropes of the fantasy world and then make them a) awesome and b) hilarious. It’s all about awesome action and big laughs — it’s a great mix.”

“Skullkickers is easily one of my favorite comics being published right now and this issue is another prime example of why. It’s big, bold, and bodacious in its unrelenting awesomeness. It has memorable characters, great action, and a unique sense of humor that sets it apart from every other book on the stands. “

“Skullkickers continues to be a fun read”…”I like this comic; I’ve decided to add it to my pull-list, and wish it great success. “

My good friend Tory Woollcott made up a fantastically cute little Dwarf Skullkickers Christmas ornament. I’ve had it for a couple weeks but wanted to make sure it was photographed on the tree and properly lit, so here it is!

He’s got the beard braids, ponytail and angry eyebrows… so awesome!

Tory, you rock.
