Zub at Rose City Comic Con
It’s been a couple years, but I’m happy to announce that I’m a guest at this year’s Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon happening September 10-11th. I’ll be set up at TABLE C-08, and several of my other collaborators will be at the show too!

GAIL SIMONETABLE N-10Co-Writer on the Conan-Red Sonja mini-series.
CHRISTIAN WARDTABLE Q-18Glitterbomb #1 Rose City variant cover artist.
Glitterbomb launches the week of Rose City Comic Con so, as a special treat, we have an exclusive version of the first issue available at the show with an incredible cover by Christian Ward (ODY-C, Infinite Vacation, The Ultimates).
In addition, I’ll be part of the Image panel happening on Saturday:
SATURDAY SEPT 10

Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey create Autumnlands. Brian Schirmer co-creates Black Jack Ketchum. Jim Zub writes Glitterbomb. Meredith McClaren masterminds Hinges. Leila del Duca draws Shutter. We can create the comics industry we want to see by checking out the books that are out-there, fascinating, or just plain ol’ emotionally resonant. What’s the next big thing in comics? Whatever you want it to be.
