Surge Licensing has signed an agreement with Swords and Sassery, Inc. for the Image Comics series Skullkickers to develop TV/film, videogames, toys, apparel and other tie-ins for the property. Surge recently announced a deal with Axe Cop (see “Axe Cop Expansion for Munchkin”), represents Archie (see “New Surge for Archie Licensing”), and developed the licensing program for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 

 

Skullkickers, by Jim Zubkavich and Chris Stevens, tells the story of two monster-killing mercenaries, a giant bald-headed warrior and a short red-headed dwarf, who make their living killing werewolves, necromancers, plant monsters, and undead, and other foes from classic fantasy literature and games. Image is releasing the second Skullkickers story arc and has released a trade paperback collection of the first.
