Skullkickers

Jim Zub returns as a guest on Comic Book Fury and he chats up a storm about Skullkickers arc 3, Munchkin, creator-owned comics, Image\’s 20th anniversary, DC and other plans for 2012. Give it a listen.

Princeless: Save Yourself trade paperback will include team-up short story with Skullkickers

In 2011, Princess Adrienne showed readers the power of self-dependence and taking your own destiny by the hands.

And in 2012, the Princess will have an unexpected team-up that is sure to kick… some skulls.

This April, Action Lab Entertainment presents the critically acclaimed Princeless: Save Yourself (Diamond Order Code FEB120706), collecting the first volume of the sprawling fantasy adventure series by Jeremy Whitley and M. Goodwin. Join Princess Adrienne, her guardian dragon Sparky and a rough and tough sidekick named Bedelia, as they begin their own quest for adventure designed specifically for those who are tired of waiting to be rescued, and who are ready to save themselves.

Plus, as an added bonus, Princeless: Save Yourself contains a special, never-before-seen team-up short story between “Princeless” and “Skullkickers” written by Skullkickers creator Jim Zub and featuring the art of M. Goodwin. Skullkickers (www.skullkickers.com) is Image Comics’ irreverent sword & sorcery action-comedy series, and we are proud to be able to present this team-up that will give fans of both series something fun and memorable.

Princeless: Save Yourself is the perfect chance to jump on board the series that Comics Alliance called “…the story Disney should’ve been telling for the past 20 years” and Comic Book Resources describes as \”…family friendly material that is filled to the brim with humor and intelligently crafted characters.”

Prepare to fight, hammer, and laugh your way right to the end with our prodigal princess and her friends in a one-of-kind fairy tale you don’t want to miss!

\”Skullkickers Volume 1 and 2 softcovers, published by Image Comics, written by Jim Zub and drawn by Chris Stevens and Edwin Huang. Skullkickers is a fun fantasy comic. It is about two monster-hunting mercenaries out to get fame and fortune. It\’s like a mix of Dungeons & Dragons with The Tick.\”

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.\”
