Zub at Gen Con 50 in Indianapolis!
It’s time again for North America’s largest tabletop, card, and board game show, GEN CON in Indianapolis, Indiana! This year is extra special because it’s the 50th anniversary of the show, so it’s looking to be bigger and better than ever.
Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance, Ravenloft), Howard Tayler (Shlock Mercenary, Writing Excuses) and I will be set-up together at BOOTH 1549 in the main exhibit hall, ready to sign and sketch for readers.
If you’re headed to Gen Con, it would be great to see you there! It’s one of my favorite shows each year. Getting the chance to promote my comic work and also dig into the newest and best the gaming industry has to offer is a wonderful opportunity.

Uncanny Avengers #25 Reviews
• IGN: 8/10 “Almost everyone gets their moment to shine in the script, even Rogue’s unlikely criminal companions.”
• Columbus Comics Corner: 9.5/10 “The book is a non-stop sequence of high pace action and great comedic relief from Rogue’s side plot with the villains. It’s hard not to spoil the amount of goodness placed in just this one issue.”
• Comic Book University: B+ “This was really fun!”
• Comic Buzz: 8/10 “It’s a lot to take in for a writer new to a title, but [Zub] holds his own wonderfully.”
• Bleeding Cool: 7/10 “The team of Kim Jacinto, Jahnoy Lindsay, and Juanan Ramirez have made an absolutely gorgeous book here.”
