Some great names on this special anthology issue of the rollicking adventure fantasy. Atomic Robo's Brian Clevinger? Empowered's Adam Warren? Jamming on some sword and sorcery? Sounds like fun to me. Reminds me of those old Tales from Jabba's Palace or Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina paperbacks. I lost half a day this past weekend to Puzzle Quest on the Mac, so I'm already in the mood for ogre bashing, goblin stomping entertainment. These "tavern tales" serve as an interlude from the main story, likely offering a wider perspective on the Skullkickers world and its as yet unnamed protagonists. A no brainer for existing fans and level one berserkers alike.
Ron says try:
By Nathan Edmondson & Tonci Zonic
The surprise hit of 2011 so far from Image Comics is Who is Jake Ellis?. The first issue (which you should also go track down immediately) was hands down one of the best reads of the year for me, and I've been anxiously awaiting the second issue of this espionage/thriller-esque mini-series with a little bit of the Bourne style of stories thrown in for good measure. Zonic's art work has been solid, balancing the dark moods and settings, along with keeping the intrigue at a high level. Don't miss out on this book!
Conor says try:
By Jeff Parker, Roger Cruz, Paul Smith & Kevin Nowlan
In late 2008, I called X-Men: First Class "the best X-Men book being published." Two and a half years later I still haven't read a better X-Men series. Marvel is putting out a new printing of the first trade this week and now's your chance to see what you missed. Like Thunderbolts? Like Hulk? Then you don't want to miss Jeff Parker's take on the original X-Men team.

Don’t forget atlas conor
I’m not sure that he read it.
Got the 2nd printing of Jake Ellis #1 and i’m really eager to give it a read. I’ve also been meaning to check out Xmen first class…definitely going into the Amazon wishlist to purchase at some later date.
Cyclops, Beast and Angel are all thrusting at least one part of their body at Jean in that cover.
I really have been enjoying Skull Kickers. Fun read with slight nuances that make it slightly different than anything else.
‘Who is Jake Ellis?’ sounds interesting, but it’s not on any digital service yet, so I’m going to have to wait
I’ve been reading Skullkickers on my iPad but have already pre-ordered the first trade and can’t wait to re-read all the issues when it is released.
Who Is Jake Ellis? #1 is one of the best #1s I’ve read in a while. Can’t wait for #2.
who is jake ellis was really good, i haven’t seen toni zoncic since human target
