Steve Damm at Wordworld has ignored the Image Comics line-up for quite some time, but no longer. He dives into a diverse comic selection and is thoroughly impressed with them all, especially Skullkickers.
\”The characterization remains perfect and the jokes well timed. While this is may be the leader in fun for non-cape comics, for me it is amazing how deeply conceived this world is. Looking closely at the panels a sense of detail and real planning permeate from the backgrounds and move the plot so the jokes and characterization are possible. \”

Come by, say \”hi\”, get Skullkickers books signed and snag a sketch while you\’re at it. Jim will have some Skullkickers convention-only hardcovers, rare variant cover issues and more on hand. It\’s going to be a great show!

Atomic Robo super artist Scott Wegener did up a fun little sketch of the Skullkickers at HeroesCon two weeks ago. His deceptively simple linework and clean design sense work well with their distinctive features.

We just received some fantastic photos from Beach Ball Comics in California, a wonderful shop that carries a lot of creator-owned books. They\’ve even got the Skullkickers-Certified logo in their store window!
Just a few miles from Disneyland, Beach Ball Comics is an Anaheim landmark, serving up the best comics & collectibles for nearly 25 years. We\’re ecstatic to have Skullkickers being promoted by the gang at Beach Ball.

\”We\’re a proud to sell quality, original comics like \’Skullkickers\’. When it first launched, it was part of a wave of interesting and original books from Image that started with \’Morning Glories\’ and \’Skullkickers\’ and has continued with more fantastic stories like \’Who is Jake Ellis?\’ and \’Green Wake\’. The $9.99 price point is a perfect selling point. A great book and an even greater price.\”
