Zub Tales

This weekend I’ll be at C2E2, Chicago’s biggest pop culture and comic event. It’s been five years since I attended the show and I’m excited to see how it’s grown and see readers and friends. I’ll be set up at ARTIST ALLEY TABLE L-1.

In addition, I’ll be on several panels over the weekend:

4:00pm – Budgeting Your Comic – ROOM S503A
Andy Schmidt, former Marvel and IDW editor and Comics Experience founder won’t just tell you how to budget a comic, he’s going to SHOW YOU! On Screen! He’ll walk you through the very real costs of creating a comic book, publishing it, and distributing it through certain channels. It’s eye opening and fear inducing—but then he’ll give you some serious tips on how to save money and get back to black! And you’ll hear from creators Ryan Browne (Manhattan Projects) and Jim Zub (Skullkickers) as well!
