Skullkickers TPB Vol. 01 1000 Opas & Dead BodyMedia Release -- Image Comics and Emerald City Comic Con announced that an exclusive hardcover edition of the SKULLKICKERS, VOL. 1 TP will be available at the upcoming Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle. Writer Jim Zubkavich and artist Edwin Huang have been handily bashing the heads of readers with their own brand of dark comedic violence and high fantasy adventure in each issue of SKULLKICKERS, leading up to this collection of the series' incredible first arc.

"We're ecstatic to be launching the first SKULLKICKERS trade at the Emerald City show and wanted to make it extra special for people in attendance," explained Zubkavich. He also added a piece of advice for the fans, "This limited run hardcover edition is a beauty and solid enough to work well as a monster bludgeoning device in a pinch. Don't leave Seattle without it!"

Emerald City Comic Con takes place March 4-6 this year in Seattle, Washington. For more information about the show and all the Image creators that will be attending, visit www.emeraldcitycomicon.com.
