Jim Zubkavich Writing Pathfinder Comics

Huge (and yes, kinda late) congrats to Jim Zubkavich (Twitter) who has been announced as the author of the upcoming Pathfinder comic books. Jim wrote about the upcoming series at his Livejournal and even went so far as to post B&W artwork from the comic. Everything looks amazing and between Jim being such a friendly and talented guy — I worked with Jim on the upcoming Munchkin Skullkickers (first mentioned here) — and the fantastic work Paizo has sunk into their Pathfinder roleplaying game (Amazon.com search*) there’s no way I’m not trying at least the very first issue.

I suspect I’ll be in for more as soon as I finish reading issue one.

Paizo’s incredible award-winning, best-selling fantasy world, fiction line and tabletop RPG is now the ultimate fantasy comic from Dynamite Entertainment, hitting stores in August! Dynamite is proud to announce that the ongoing series is written by Jim Zubkavich with art by Andrew Huerta, with covers by Lucio Parillo, Matteo Scalera, Dave Dorman, and Erik Jones!!!

The iconic heroes at the core of the Pathfinder’s world are brought to life for the first time in a brand new story full of charm and high adventure that will please fans and entertain new readers alike. Issue 1 clocks in at 40 pages (and remains $3.99) and includes over 10 pages of character profiles and Pathfinder RPG game statistics, plus an EXCLUSIVE removable, playable tactical map and poster. Be sure to pick up Pathfinder #1 from Dynamite, coming this August to comic stores everywhere!
