Gamer/writer Joshua Unruh has read an advanced copy of Skullkickers #7, the first issue of our new story arc arriving in stores on May 25th, and he\’s absolutely delighted by what we have in store for readers old and new.
\”Skullkickers #7, aka Five Funerals and a Bucket of Blood part 1, is everything a new and returning reader could hope for.\”
\”[It has] a set up of sinister goings on, a hilarious \’fish out of water\’ situation for the Skullkickers, the return of a shady character, some blood, guts and ultra violence (that made me laugh coffee through my nose), as well as a daring escape by our \’heroes.\’\”

Dylan at the Lost Man comic review site has an advanced run through of Skullkickers #7 and loves what he reads inside the issue, giving it an \’A\’ rating.
\”The first part of the latest storyline \’5 Funerals and Bucket of Blood\’ is off to a strong unexpected start, but after knowing what the pair have done in the past, maybe I should have known that misfortune always follows them.\”
