Skullkickers

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.

We’ll also have a limited number of CLLDF Skullkickers #13 Sketch Cover Variants, almost a week before the regular issue shows up in comic shops. Buy a copy of this limited run variant and get it sketched on by your favorite artist at the show!

Last, but not least, we’ll have copies of our convention-exclusive Skullkickers World Map! This 18′ x 24′ beauty shows the full depth and breadth of the Skullkickers fantasy world for the first time.

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!

This weekend Jim Zub and Edwin Huang are exhibiting at Image Comic Expo in Oakland, California, celebrating 20 years of Image Comics!

Come by TABLE 51 for autographs, sketches, original art, rare issues, trade paperbacks and the convention-exclusive Skullkickers World Map!

Also, Jim will be on two panels on Sunday afternoon, so make sure you head to those:

12 p.m. – 1 p.m.
Image Introduces…
Some of Image Comics’ most exciting new creators assemble to talk about their new work and life as independent comics creators. Join the creators of Moriarty, Li’l Depressed Boy, Hell Yeah!, Witch Doctor, Peter Panzerfaust, and Skullkickers for an eye-opening conversation about what it’s really like to work in comics.

PANELISTS: Daniel Corey, Sina Grace, Joe Keatinge, Brandon Seifert, Kurtis Wiebe, Steven Struble, and Jim Zub
MAIN ROOM

1 p.m. – 2 p.m.
Retailing the New Generation of Comics
With creator-owned hits like The Walking Dead, Morning Glories, and Chew grabbing their places on the sales charts and bringing in new readers to comic shops, the comics industry is excited about new titles and new ideas. What are the best retailers in comics doing to strengthen and support the creator-owned comic revolution while competing with faceless online outlets or big box bookstores? If you’re a comic creator, retailer or fan, we’ll help you understand how to stay on top of the next wave of hidden gems.

PANELISTS: Brian Hibbs (Comix Experience), Steve (Third Eye), James Sime (Isotope), Todd Martinez (Image Comics), Jim Zub (Skullkickers)
