On CBR\’s Robot 6 blog they\’ve posted up the first part of a massive interview between Zub and Cullen Bunn (writer of The Sixth Gun) all about pitching, writing, working with artists, finding time to write and much more. Click on over and give it a read!

Brandon at Comic Book Revolution gives high praise to Skullkickers and scores it at a 9.5/10.

\”I have absolutely no complaints other than the second trade isn\’t out yet.\”…\”I loved every second of this book, and I can\’t recommend it enough.\”

Zub gives the pitch for Skullkickers on TV\’s video game and pop culture source, Electric Playground.

Like the host said, Skullkickers would definitely make a cool video game. 🙂

Joshua Unruh at the Consortium has just read Skullkickers Vol. 1 and heartily recommends it.

\”Fantasy needs, to quote our friends across the pond, to have the piss taken out of it every now and then. Enter Skullkickers.\”

Comic review site Burnt Wieners reads Skullkickers Vol. 1 and they are hooked!

\”Okay, finally, I caved in and checked out Skullkickers, because everyone has been telling me how bloody awesome it is. Let me tell you, folks . . . I need to start listening to you more! Not only is Skullkickers awesome, it might indeed be my new bible I live my life by.\”

Pop culture blog Nerd City has a great little shout out about Skullkickers Vol. 1 posted up.

\”Skullkickers is an amazing book that combines D&D-esque action and themes with laugh out loud humor, hyper-stylish art and $#@%loads of onomatopoeia. If you love joking about slaying Orcs just as much as you love slaying Orcs, then this book’s for you.\”

A new video interview from C2E2 with Misty and Zub has just been posted up on iFanboy this morning. Skullkickers coverage starts at 5:43.

CBR TV filmed a quick interview segment with Zub at C2E2 a few weeks ago and they\’ve just posted the clip up today on their site.

Zub\’s last name is misspelled and mispronounced, but the piece was filmed at the hotel bar after a long convention day so we\’re assuming multiple pints were involved in the production process. 😉

Gaming blog extraordinaire The Hopeless Gamer embraces the Skullkickers story ecstatically, praising its tabletop RPG roots and frantic fantasy fun.

\”I\’m not going to sugarcoat this: Skullkickers will kick your ass. Sitting there reading the first volume of the series, 1,000 Opas and a Dead Body you\’ll start to freak out and hallucinate. You will believe that the creators, writer Jim Zub, line artist Edwin Huang, and colorist Misty Coats somehow snuck into your gaming group last Friday, cast a spell of confusion on all of you, and recorded the entire session to be meticulously recreated just moments later in this vibrant, ultra-violent dream of a fantasy comic.\”

Primary Ignition enjoyed our first issue back in September and now that they\’ve caught up with the series via our newly released trade paperback, they\’re fully on board the Skullkickers train.

\”We’ve got likable, oddball heroes who are free to roam around in a unique environment and get into trouble. That’s very fertile ground for comedic storytelling, and that’s what we get from Skullkickers. I for one, am anxious to see more.\”
