In a week with the biggest superhero launch in many years and loads of high profile titles on the stands, Skullkickers #10 topped Hannibal Tabu\’s infamous Buy Pile this week on CBR.

\”…there\’s enough adventure and amusement here to satisfy, with a cliffhanger ending that would have been hard to see coming. Jim Zub\’s brisk plotting still keeps things interesting and the tight imagery of Edwin Huang, Kevin Raganit and Misty Coats made for an intimate, nuanced presentation.\”

Artist and blogger Carson Einarsen posted up a very kind review of Skullkickers Vol. 1: 1000 Opas and a Dead Body yesterday. Click on through to give it a read.

\”I was originally confused by the lack of character foils with the main characters. Both were giant burly muscle men who just destroy stuff. And oddly enough, neither had names, they were just the dwarf and the big guy. I thought it would make for a dull story, but the writer (Zub) is a genius. He made the story flow and gave the characters such unique and endearing personalities.\”

Eric Whitman at the Daily Blam reviews Skullkickers #10 and starts to see some of the broader world building that\’s appearing in the series, bit by bit.

\”Image\’s premier fantasy/action/comedy continually gets better with cute, but coarse, faeries and a leaky artery.\”…\”With its second story arc, world building has been a focus along with the wackiness. In this way, it retains all of the positive things while continually growing as an enticing product.\”
