Not in Chew/Revival. Well it worked for Indiana Jones didn't it? Oh, no, wait, it didn't… sorry Skullkickers, your days are numbered. Even in George Lucas' first draft for The Star Wars, with very different looking characters, this still seems wrong. The bad guys in Thief Of Thieves betray themselves with their stomachs. In God Is Dead, Avatar Press[...]

And Star Trek #32 gives us something een closer. Skullkickers, like George Lucas,  knows the money is in the merchandise. While Regular Show remembers[...]

It looks like it may be leaking out into his other work, such as this Skullkickers pinup. Even Peanuts is getting in on the love action, seriously where will this end? When Lazaruses flirt, it just gets a little creepy Like watching real Japanese robots dance.You know you can get sex robots now, right? Well, Mrs Peel does[...]

Jim Zub reports on the sales bump given to Skullkickers by renaming it Uncanny Skullkickers for one issue, in light of Uncanny Avengers and Uncanny X-Force joining Uncanny X-Men at Marvel. Something I'm sure Nicky Barrucci hopes will be repeated with Uncanny #1 and William D Hodge the same with The Uncanny #1.   Jim Zub reports[...]

Recently, Bleeding Cool featured a letter from a Russian comic book pirate, requesting unlettered art files from Skullkickers creator Jim Zubavich, so that he could create Russian language translation illegal copies of the Skullkickers comic. So how widespread is this sort of thing? And how valuable would unlettered files be in such a context? Well this[...]

The solicitations in Diamond's Previews for issue nine of Image's Skullkickers were playful, offering "In this issue: More of the same! What? The same!" as the fantasy comedy continues its path of sword'n'sorcery'n'saucery. But I'be just come across an advance look at the solicitation for August And it has reached new levels of oddness. "This issue has[...]
