Onwards to 2012

From everyone here on the Skullkickers creative team, thank you for a momentous year!

We released 8 issues and 2 trade paperbacks in 2011, attended a slew of conventions and had a lot of fun continuing the adventures of our two monster mashing morons. Next year we\’ve got big plans, with the third story arc, Munchkin-Skullkickers and a whole lot more coming your way. It\’s gonna be great!

We couldn\’t do it without your continuing support and encouragement.

Outer Realm Goes Inside Skullkickers

\"\"

The gang at Outer Realm Comics has reviewed our free issue #0 and is happy with the adventures inside.

\”Every so often a new title comes about that reminds us why comic books are so bloody awesome. When a title has ample amounts of swashbuckling, suspense, and thrills with a countermeasure of witty dialogue, charm, and humour, you know you’re in for a good read. That’s exactly what we got in Skullkickers.\”
