Whilst at Cardiff International Comic Expo (CICE) last month, in the few minutes where I wasn't running around like a headless chicken I was able to pick up the flipbook double feature preview of Stiffs and The Pride. Both books have some of the same creative team but are very different in tone and subject so we'll tackle each one as their own entity, look for The Pride review coming soon.

Regular listeners to the Sidekickcast may remember the interview we did with two of Stiffs' writers, PJ Montgomery and Joe Glass at last year's Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds, Drew Davies the other writer on the book, who also came up with the original concept for Stiffs unfortunately couldn't make it. If you did miss the podcast, I suggest you go have a listen but if you can't do that I can catch you up or you could check out this blog interview from one of our Sidekicks, Nick Roberts. The book is about a bunch of everyday 'working stiffs' that lead normal mundane lives by day but hunt zombies (and other supernaturals) by night, all whilst never missing a chance to grab a few beers down the pub.
