This March, Image Comics invites readers to jump on board
action and adventure, newly reinvigorated with another very special
adjective—THE SAVAGE SKULLKICKERS!
"The response to Uncanny Skullkickers was so
tremendous that we knew we couldn't just let something that was working remain
unchanged," said Image PR and Marketing Director Jennifer de Guzman.
"Relaunching Skullkickers was a total game-changer! For a whole month, it
wasn't just plain Skullkickers. It was Uncanny! And now it's going to be
Savage! Game. Changer.”
SAVAGE SKULLKICKERS continues the epic SKULLKICKERS
storyline and is a perfect jumping-on point for new readers. Even more perfect
than last month.
"With over 180 issues released over the past 20
years, Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon is one of the most compelling and consistent
creator-owned comics ever made," said creator Jim Zub. "In order to
commemorate Erik's hard work and strident 'no relaunching, no renumbering'
approach to his series, we thought we'd relaunch and renumber Skullkickers,
stealing his precious 'Savage' adjective while we're at it. Thanks, Erik!”
And if you're a diehard collector of SKULLKICKERS sad
that you won't have a SKULLKICKERS #20 to add to your collection? Don't worry,
we've thought of everything. In addition to the regular "Savage” cover by
series artist (and, remember, adorable elf-man) Edwin Huang and Zub himself,
we're offering a special "issue #20 variant” B cover by Chris Stevens to
make sure your collector streak is unbroken.
It's new. It's classic. It's a modern reinterpretation
that gets back to the roots of these timeless characters. SAVAGE SKULLKICKERS
#1 is available wherever kick ass comics are sold starting this March.
So essentially they are making of the current publishing/marketing path Marvel is going down. Frankly, I love it and applaud them for doing so.
