Berkeley, CA - 15 June 2010 - In September, Image Comics brings you fantasy as you like it -- hilarious and action packed -- with SKULLKICKERS, an all-new ongoing series. Written by Jim Zubkavich, with art by Edwin Huang, Chris Stevens, and Misty Coats, SKULLKICKERS promises to turn any fantasy motif on its head."I love sword and sorcery novels and roleplaying games," says Zubkavich, "So I wanted to use those as a jumping-off point, and marry them with a slightly sarcastic self-awareness of fantasy clichés. At its core, the book is about fun characters and wild adventure, with witty banter thrown in to keep it all clipping along at a healthy pace."
SKULLKICKERS is fantasy action-comedy. Two mercenaries are entangled in a high-class assassination plot and nothing -- not werewolves, skeletons, or black magic -- will stop them from getting paid! If you love tabletop fantasy RPG, buddy stories involving a big guy and a dwarf, or movies like ARMY OF DARKNESS, SKULLKICKERS is the book for you!
SKULLKICKERS #1, a 32-page, full-color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores September 22nd, 2010. Readers can get a taste of Skullkickers in POPGUN, VOL. 2 (MAY082176) and POPGUN, VOL. 3 (JAN092368).
