Storyboarding demon fights on tour?The idea of an 18-wheeler crashing into medieval Europe is wild in the best way.How did you work to ground that concept emotionally and thematically?What makes her essential to the story, and how does she play off Trucker?What kind of research or inspiration shaped the design of The Rig itself?Did you draw from real-life trucking culture, heavy metal, religious iconography, or all of the above?This book is described as Evil Dead meets Fury Road.What's your approach to balancing horror, action, and dark comedy on the page?Nathan, your art often feels like it's in motion even when the panels are still.What visual challenges or opportunities did Big Rig present compared to something like Barbaric?What was most important to you both in setting the tone for this first chapter?⚙️ Segment Break: "Load It or Leave It"Purpose: A rapid-fire segment where they say whether the following elements are "loaded" onto The Rig (i.e., present in the series) or "left behind" (not part of the story). This lets you transition into a worldbuilding breakdown in a fun way.You say the element, they say "Load It" or "Leave It" — and optionally expand briefly.Examples:RomanceChainsawsHoly relicsTime travelInterdimensional truck stopsTalking weaponsDemon pukeFlashbacksPost Malone cameosGodWrap up the segment by picking one they said “Load It” on and asking them to expand:“Okay, you said ‘Load It' to talking weapons. Tell us more.”Final Questions(Fun one) If Trucker had a mixtape in the Rig's cab, what three songs would be on it — and does Post have to be on there at least once?

Jace welcomes writer Jim Zub back to the show to talk about his Zoop campaign for Skullkickers. This was the first longform creator owned title Jim did at Image Comics. As Jim says in the episode, it is really the series that put him on the map as a writer and it holds a special place for him for that reason among others. It is a wildly fun and enteraning adventure inspired by beloved properties such as Dungeons & Dragons, Conan and Army of Darkness. Jim also chats about the possibility for new Skullkickers content in the future, why he chose Zoop and some of the rewards that are available. There's tons of info in this one, so be sure to listen in and go check out the campaign.

As promised, Jim Zub returns to The Corner of Story and Game - this time to talk about gaming, and how it has helped shape his personal and professional life. We discuss everything from his early days of gaming as a kid, to his work in the tabletop role-playing game and board game industries. Jim is best known for his work in the comic book industry, which he has been creating since he self-published Makeshift Miracle in 2001. Over the past 21 years, he has created a vast library of titles ranging from creator-owned books like Wayward, Skullkickers, Glitterbomb, and Stone Star - to big-name properties such as Samurai Jack, Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Uncanny Avengers, Wolverine, and even a Rick and Morty / D&D crossover. These days Jim is writing for Conan the Barbarian, a Murderworld series, and continues to work away at more upcoming A Young Adventurer's Guide books. Enjoy!

On today's episode, I talk to Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated comics creator Jim Zub. Jim began his comics career making webcomics starting in the early aughts, but it was with his Image book Skullkickers, which allowed him to break through to a wider audience. Since then he's written other creator-owned work for Image like Wayward and Glitterbomb, as well as numerous books for DC and Marvel including most notably The Avengers and Thunderbolts. Speaking of Thunderbolts, Jim is currently writing the latest series of that, as well as a Murderworld miniseries, a Conan series for Titan Comics and much, much more!

Our old friend Jim Zub joins me today at The Corner of Story and Game.

These days Jim has so many books in the works that it is hard to keep up, but I'm pretty sure there is a Conan title in there, as well as another Rick and Morty book (this time with Cthulu!). This conversation actually turned into a two-parter, as we wandered pretty far down the rabbit hole of writing craft, industry practices, maintaining relationships, and so much more. The next time Jim and I sit down, we will dive into gaming and writing for games (and talk more about Jim's TED talk.) Enjoy!

Jim Zub is a Canadian comic book writer, artist, animator and teacher who has worked on comics such as Marvel's Avengers: No Surrender, IDW's Dungeons & Dragons, and his own creator-owned comics including Skullkickers and Wayward with Image Comics. He also teaches animation at Seneca College in Toronto, and still finds time to offer advice to people wanting to work in the comics industry via his website and on social media.We had a great chat with Jim about how playing Dungeons & Dragons as a young boy helped form his love of storytelling, and talked about how he got his break in comics, working his way up from web comics to working with Image and Marvel. What we learned is that Jim's advice is great for any writer who wants to tell stories, regardless of whether they want to write comics, novels, movies or more.Links:Check out Jim's website for writing tips and to buy his comicsSupport Jim on his Patreon and get access to more writing advice and scriptsThe Page One Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.

Jim Zub is a comic book creator who’s had not just one, but two 30+ issue creator-owned comic series (Skullkickers and Wayward). Ever since his first comic in 2001 he’s built a career for himself utilizing his experience as an artist and the security of a day job to build a creator-owned career on his own terms. In this episode he joins me to discuss many of the lessons he’s learned along the way.

Wherein Jim talks about his gaming history, Fiasco!, and an insight into Avengers: No Surrender!   We cannot recommend Jim's website enough for all your comic needs--be it how-tos or buying some excellent books!    

This week I check another name off of my Funny Book Splatter guest wishlist with writer Jim Zub.  Jim’s work includes Wayward and Glitterbomb, both from Image Comics, as well as Skullkickers, Disney’s Figment, Thunderbolts, and more.  This is the third time I’ve spoken to Jim and he’s just as genuine and enthusiastic as ever.  Listening to him speak about comics and storytelling is nothing short of inspiring. His horror series, Glitterbomb, returns on September 20th, with a new mini-series called The Fame Game.  The comic is a Hollywood horror series that takes a harsh look at our love and obsession with fame.  Plus, there are terrifying monsters.  It’s the second part of a planned trilogy and it’s structured so that anyone can jump in even if you haven’t read the first series.  But seriously, you should read the original mini-series.  I mean, it was described as “The Exorcist meets Sunset Boulevard.” How cool is that? It’s out in trade paperback now and it’s well worth your time.   Also out on September 20th, is Wayward #23, the next chapter in the series that began as “Buffy in Japan” and has since expanded into much more.  It’s a great supernatural fantasy adventure series that has been consistently well made from the jump.  You can catch up on Wayward through trade paperbacks or some gorgeous hardcovers.  You’ll want to do that as the comic is currently in development with Manga Entertainment to be turned into a TV show. Jim can be found online at his official site, JimZub.com and through Twitter @JimZub. SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

Jim Zub joins Off Panel to talk the business of comics and his work on Wayward at Image Comics. Zub talks about the blogs he has put together about his work, career and financials successes, managing your brand online, how interacting with retailers has impacted his books, some of the tinkering he's done to develop the audience for his book Skullkickers, his teaching job, his collaborators on Wayward, where the book is going next, and a whole lot more. It's a really insightful chat about not just creating comics, but finding an audience for them once you do.

Comics Are Awesome is a podcast celebrating the awesomeness of comic books. The featured guest for Comics Are Awesome episode 1 is Jim Zub, creator of Skullkickers and Wayward.

Comic-Con 2014 was a blast! (If you were unable to attend, my sympathies. That's why we do these wrap-up posts.) Make sure to check out the audio link below. The local Making Comics crew—Patrick, Adam, Kevin, Devin, Evan—were there to rep the "revolution" and generally brag about our community and future plans. We're really excited by the enthusiasm readers have shown in response to our "Get A Grasp" MOOC and daily challenges, not to mention my own (hi!) #FAQDevin column and Adam's (in)famous Gutter Talk podcast. You guys have been awesome, and your creativity sustains us. We hosted a panel on Saturday called Uniting the Worldwide #makecomics Community. It was, without exaggeration, one of the best panels at the convention (at least amongst those discussing actual comics). The lineup was crazy: we had Rachel Beck representing our friends over at Storyforge, Mark Waid (of Daredevil fame) and Christina Blanch (writer of Damnation of Charlie Wormwood) from Thrillbent, Andy Schmidt from Comics Experience, Jim Zub (writes Skullkickers, Wayward), and Palle Schmidt (artist on Thomas Alsop) from Comics For Beginners. Patrick ran the panel while the rest of us listened intensely. After a brief rundown of Making Comics (dotCom) participation stats (number of MOOC students, worldwide readership breakdown), Patrick previewed some of the things we've been working on for the future. I'll let him determine what announcements are made public, but suffice it to say some neat stuff is coming. Then the discussion kicked off, and boy, was it glorious. The Web has enabled one of the biggest paradigm shifts [for] breaking into the industry. Webcomics let me see your work ethic. @MarkWaid Webcomics are no longer a vanity project for artists. They've become a legitimate option for breaking in. @JimZub Showing you already have an audience lends a kind of gravitas to your work for publishers. @Palle_Schmidt Much of the discussion concerned the changing landscape for comics in the last decade. Many on the panel have been working in/around comics for a while, and have observed this change firsthand. There used to only be one real way to "break in" to comics, as Andy points out: The question used to be "How do I write for Marvel or DC?" and now the majority of people want to know how to make their own stuff. - Andy Schmidt @ComicExperience The internet has democratized this process. Webcomics are a perfectly commercial form of comic that anyone can create and consume. People without access to a physical comic shop can still read comics online, which removes barriers and brings in more readers. Comic books are now available to everyone regardless of age or race or location. And that for me is the most exciting thing! @JimZub Many echoed this sentiment. Christy (@christyblanch) talked about the promising increase in the number of women who make comics, as well as the success she's had in reaching aspiring creators through her (juggernaut) SuperMOOC 2. Rachel discussed the ways in which creators of webcomics can bypass traditional gatekeepers—like publishers—and form mutually beneficial relationships with their audience: There is now a rise in patronage again, only now the niche market isn't the wealthy, it is the many. -Rachel Beck @Storyforgers Old paradigms of distribution no longer apply. People now trust friends and personal interactions more than blaring advertisements that we've learned to ignore. @JimZub  People are now interested in genuine people, genuine passion, genuine projects. -Andy Schmidt @ComicExperience  Everything that used to be the non-professional route is now just another option to use. @JimZub There was a lot of excitement and optimism on the panel, and why not? Access to comics is expanding. The tools for making comics are widely available, so anyone can make whatever type of story they like. The future is bright! I could continue,

This week, you’ll enjoy my interview with Jim Zub, one of the creators behind Disney Kingdom’s Figment, a Marvel comic highlighting the famous character from Disney’s theme park. We discuss how the project came to be as well as what it was like for Jim to work with both Disney and Marvel. He also talks about the project he’s likely best known for at this point, Skullkickers. You won’t want to miss what he has to say, but be sure to tune in! Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP.

It's Sunday and that means the latest episode of Graphic Policy Radio.  On tap for this week: Comic creator Jim Zubkavich joins us to discuss his series Skullkickers and his webcomic Makeshift Miracle.  In a twist to promote Makeshift Miracle, Zubkavich is releasing the first issue free thrrough torrents to build buzz.  We talk to Jim about his work as an indie creator and this bold marketing move.

We are happy to be part of the shilling for this admittedly hugely fun book that we both really like. And no-one was hurt.

We get Jim to explain what possessed him to allow Chris Sims to write a story in the latest issue of Skullkickers (#6, in stores now), to talk at length about Street Fighter and to answer the burning question of whether there’ll ever be a boy born who can swim as fast as a shark. Plus, our pledge drive rolls on as we welcome the first member of the Ajax Hundo Club, Ryan Holliday, to our third chair!

This episode of the Awesomed By Comics Podcast is brought to you by Skullkickers #6, in stores now from Image Comics, and if I knew how to make animated gifs, I would make one that just flashed SKULLKICKERS #6 IN STORES NOW and had muppets. Our good friend Chris Sims (author of the first story in the aforementioned Skullkickers #6) sits in for Evie, who just presented a paper on Gene Simmons at a music academia conference in LA, and I am told it went "good." This episode is a true celebration of comics, which includes men of iron, fists of iron, girls of power, men of power, jims of gordon, roller disco, and a whole lot of mourning, including some of our own for the passing of beloved creator Dwayne McDuffie. As always, leave your comments or picks on and if you like the show !

If you're thinking there's not quite enough dwarves, swords, and fantasy hijnks in your sequential life, Image Comics has good news for you. This Wednesday sees the release of the first issue of their new ongoing, Skullkickers #1. Writer and co-creator Jim Zubkavich talks to Josh Flanagan about how the series came about and what it's like. If nothing else is clear, the book seems to have been a hell of a lot of fun to make, and hopefully that will translate to the readers. There's not much else like it on the stands, and it's very possible they have a hit on their hands. Don't Miss Skullkickers #1 from Image Comics this Wednesday.
