James Mason at Comic Buzz gets caught up on Skullkickers #8 and 9 (yes, an advance review of 9) and is tickled by the results.

\”If you haven’t started reading Skullkickers, start. You need to have some fun in your reading pile and this comic has it in spades.\”

Mat Nastos at The Comic Market website has interviewed Jim Zub all about marketing Skullkickers – getting retailers on board the series, promotional tools, convention selling and more.

The #ComicMarket discussion group on Twitter has been an invaluable resource for Skullkickers outreach and this interview sums up a lot of thoughts on getting the series out to a wider audience.

The latest Dragon comic shop podcast (episode 33) is all about joys to be found in Skullkickers Vol. 1:1000 Opas and a Dead Body. It\’s fun hearing from new readers about discovering the series and what elements stand out for them.

\”Skullkickers brought the missing ingredient to fantasy that for me had always been missing – laughs. Big laughs. Like, uproarious, knee-slapping stuff.\”

Comics Nexus columnist James Fulton is becoming a fan of Skullkickers despite the fact that books like ours don\’t normally work for him. Issue #8 seems to have solidified that even more.

\”Zubkavich’s writing in this title is very funny. Huang’s art has grown on me with each issue, and I now consider myself a fan of his. I don’t normally enjoy books like this, but I’ve become very enamored of this title.\”

Robert Tacopina at Comics Bulletin gives top marks for our latest issue of Skullkickers.

Eric Whitman at The Daily Blam reviews Skullkickers #8 and gives it an impressive 4.5/5.

\”Skullkickers #8 is possibly the strongest issue of the fantasy comedy series thus far. \”…\”there are plenty more laughs to be had courtesy the swift pen of Jim Zub as he continually inflicts situational pain on his hapless adventurers.\”
