Skullkickers at New York Comic Con!
Here we go again! The last big show of the year is in New York at the Jacob Javits Center and it should be as crazy as ever.

They’ll have Skullkickers books aplenty, but also sketch covers, variants, and more!
Skullkickers Original Art is Part of the RWP Fundraiser!

Skullkickers Vol. 1 Review and School Material
Over on Katie’s Korner they’ve added a review of Skullkickers Vol. 1: 1000 Opas and a Dead Body that also includes some recommended educational components teachers or librarians could use in tandem with the book. We’re flattered and thrilled that they enjoy the book so much and appreciate the extra effort put into enhancing its value as a resource in a classroom.
“What I like most about Skullkickers: 1000 Opas and a Dead Body is its ability to blend various stylistic techniques that invite comic book, anime, and graphic novel readers of all persuasions to its pages.”
Skullkickers #24 Preview
Comic Book Resources has a 6 page preview of Skullkickers #24 (a.k.a. ‘Before Skullkickers’) posted on their site. Check out the incredible artwork of Stjepan Sejic in this short story all about Kusia written by Ron Marz.
Skullkickers at Fan Expo 2013!
