Skullkickers is All-New, Secret in May

This May, Image Comics forces you to wonder why we keep pushing this silly comic book over and over again in a new adjective-laden comic called– The All-New Secret Skullkickers!

“We can’t stop now. It… it has a life of its own. This reboot-itis has permeated our souls,” said Image PR and Marketing Director Jennifer de Guzman. “I hated it at first but now it feels kind of good. Warm… safe… In a darkened world full of uncertainty it’s all we have left.”

The All-New Secret Skullkickers #1, written by promotional broken record Jim Zub and drawn by innocent mp3 Edwin Huang, continues the epic six-arc Skullkickers storyline on a haunted island of mystery, apes and rampant violence. It’s good.

“At this rate I figure we’re still a couple months away from using up any goodwill I might have built up in this industry,” said series creator Jim Zub. “This is the kind of thing that can happen when you let creators write their own press releases.”

If you’re a diehard collector of Skullkickers who’s sad that you won’t have a Skullkickers #22 to add to your collection, fret no longer. In addition to the regular “All-New Secret” cover we’re offering a special “issue #22 variant” B cover to make sure your numbers stay in order. You can tell everyone you started reading “before they became horrible sell-outs.”

“We’re sick. We can’t help it. Comic price guide makers will curse this stupid string of title changes for the rest of their natural lives.” The All-New Secret Skullkickers #1 will be available in May wherever fine comics are sold. Pre-order it now from the March issue of Previews and stop the hurting.
