In the April issue of Hugh Sterbakov...

Big announcement! In the April issue of Hugh Sterbakov, I'm going to die. That's right, I'm dead. It's true. The issue will be polybagged with four separate covers, and there will be media coverage and special balloons that can only be had when you purchase a Slurpee. More on this...




Hugh B. Sterbakov Because, y'know, this here is an ORIGINAL idea, and this writer is really impressive for having the nerve to pitch it, let alone ACTUALLY PULLING IT OFF.
 April 12 at 11:07am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Because NOBODY WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT TO KILL OFF HUGH STERBAKOV IN HIS OWN COMIC!!!
April 12 at 11:08am

Hugh B. Sterbakov But anyway, I'm coming back.
April 12 at 11:08am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Well. Six versions of me are coming back.
April 12 at 11:08am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Yes. There will be no Hugh Sterbakov comic in May. But in June, there will be SIX.
April 12 at 11:08am

Christa Starr Wait... what?
April 12 at 11:09am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Hugh Sterbakov is Dead #1, Hugh Sterbakov is Not Dead #1, Hugh Sterbakov May Be Dead #1, Hugh Sterbakov was Dead #1, Hugh Sterbakov--Remember Me #1 (a very special issue you should cherish) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Hugh Sterbakovs #1.
April 12 at 11:09am

Hugh B. Sterbakov All of these quasi-Hugh Sterbakovs will try to go about their lives and re-integrate with Hugh Sterbakov's life, but something is not right.
April 12 at 11:10am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And so, in July--a major crossover event, for which you WILL NOT BE PREPARED.
April 12 at 11:10am

Hugh B. Sterbakov That's right, suckas. We're going to war.
April 12 at 11:10am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And everyone is going to take sides.
April 12 at 11:10am

Hugh B. Sterbakov War of the Hugh Sterbakovs.
April 12 at 11:11am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Yes, you and everyone else will choose a Hugh Sterbakov, and you will fight for them. How do you fight? You buy Slurpees.
April 12 at 11:11am

Hugh B. Sterbakov If you buy enough, you will become a zombie.
April 12 at 11:11am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And then one of the Hugh Sterbakovs will eat you.
April 12 at 11:11am

Christa Starr LISA! Help! Hugh's melting down!!!
April 12 at 11:11am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And then you will enter another world. Hugh Sterbakov Prime.
April 12 at 11:11am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Oh, you don't think I can keep going?
April 12 at 11:11am

Christa Starr I'm sure you can...
April 12 at 11:12am

Christa Starr but if you stop... I'll buy you a cookie!
April 12 at 11:12am

Hugh B. Sterbakov So, now we have the battle for Hugh Sterbakov Prime, and that's going to unite all of the Hugh Sterbakovs, and their zombie armies, and they'll have to do battle with the one, ultimate Hugh Sterbakov: He Who Shall Be Girth.
April 12 at 11:12am

Hugh B. Sterbakov That will launch an 8-part miniseries. Each issue of which will be polybagged, with special covers that you can't see yet, because you can't know how they turn out.
April 12 at 11:13am

Hugh B. Sterbakov No, don't be ridiculous. Hugh Sterbakov is not coming back to life. You're just a jaded, cynical fanboy and you should shut up and let us do our art. And you owe us $3.99 for each of these issues. Shut up and pay.
April 12 at 11:13am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Each issue of The War for Hugh Sterbakov will tie into the comic books of other people that you don't care about. Like Seth Green and Mila Kunis. Nobody cares about them.
April 12 at 11:14am

Hugh B. Sterbakov But now you have to buy their comics.
April 12 at 11:14am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And yeah, as you would have expected, they're not so good.
April 12 at 11:15am

Christa Starr But... I will save them all in my longboxes for 20 years, hoping they increase in value.
April 12 at 11:16am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Then again, neither, really, is Hugh Sterbakov. But you have to keep buying. Because otherwise, you wouldn't be able to continue the experience with this character that you used to love, back when competent people who really cared were putting together the stories. And when ideas mattered because they were neat and creative. Not because they were polybagged.
April 12 at 11:16am

Hugh B. Sterbakov We're not going to announce what happens at the end of the War for Hugh Sterbakov. I've lost count, but I think that will end sometime next spring. Let's just say that when it's over, Hugh Sterbakov will be as you've never seen him before.
April 12 at 11:16am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And so, we're going to re-hash and re-tell all of the Hugh Sterbakov stories you love.
April 12 at 11:17am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Except this time they're going to suck.
April 12 at 11:17am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Not because the people writing them suck.
April 12 at 11:17am

Hugh B. Sterbakov But because they're unoriginal and uninspired.
April 12 at 11:17am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And nobody can come up with anything new. Because everyone knows that original ideas can't sell.
April 12 at 11:18am

Christa Starr Oh Hugh, what have they done to you?
April 12 at 11:18am

Hugh B. Sterbakov I guess?
April 12 at 11:18am

Hugh B. Sterbakov So anyway, yeah, I'm totally going to die and you have to believe that it's true or you suck.
April 12 at 11:18am

Hugh B. Sterbakov Because there's no way in the world that I suck.
April 12 at 11:19am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And I know that because they're making a movie out of me.
April 12 at 11:19am

Hugh B. Sterbakov And you can see a preview of it.
April 12 at 11:19am

Hugh B. Sterbakov If only you buy a Slurpee.
April 12 at 11:19am

Christa Starr ‎/cry
April 12 at 11:19am

David Cohen It sounds like Hugh is going to be polybagged. Ruh-roh!
April 12 at 11:22am

Paul H. Kim How many slurpees did you have this morning? I need a slurpee to read all 51 comments. You know they have a new slurpee flavor, blue lightning blast. Haven't tried peach dragon fruit slurpee, but anything with a dragon in it sounds cool. Sounds like you've gone slurpee silly.
April 12 at 12:08pm

Fritz Von Erich Is there a coin at the bottom of the Slurpee cup?
April 12 at 12:10pm

Lisa Rohr Sterbakov So this is what happens when you're properly hydrated?
April 12 at 12:17pm 

Hugh B. Sterbakov LOL. Paul--I think blue lightning blast is from THOR. Point proven?
April 12 at 12:44pm

Rocco Mark Pic Salvatore Wow.
April 12 at 1:11pm

Paul H. Kim I think so. Are you saying you're the new Jesus and we should follow your testimony through your comics and that the six hughs are really the trinity, x's 2? Ok, yeah, Thor makes sense.
April 12 at 1:22pm

Robert Taylor This character does not interest me enough to invest all that time and money.
