Third Eye Comics has a great review of issue #1 up. They can see that Image is on a roll.

\”All in all, folks, this one is going to be a hell of a series, and from what I have seen of the first issue, is a VERY strong debut.\”

• Primary Ignition reviewed the issue after coming across it by accident.

\”I was pleasantly surprised by Skullkickers. I opened it without a clue about it, and found a fun little romp of a story. It strikes me as a book that simply isn’t afraid to be what it’s going to be.\”

• Adam Prosser at JoBlo gives a quick rundown of the issue.

\”…it feels like a labor of love, not something pumped out (smartly or otherwise) to cash in on a popular trend or genre.\”

• Giant Killer Squid enjoyed the read, especially considering the reviewer normally shuns any and all fantasy material.

\”Looks like Image has put out another fan-favorite.\”

• WPR digs right in and has a great time with it.

\”This book was an entertaining, drunken, and mythical romp through a world that has werewolves, dwarves with drinking problems, a mysterious assassin, possibly a vampire, and death by spoon.\”

• Newsarama\’s Best Shots Review finds a fun new book they can get behind.

\”Writer/creator Jim Zubkavich\’s dialogue and speech are spot on, never falling prey to the usual fantasy tropes, but also never feeling so contemporary as to be off-putting.\”

Ryan Schrodt at The Weekly Crisis Review blog has ranked Skullkickers as his #4 pick of the week, declaring it a \”Must Buy\”.

\”Skullkickers is crazy and irreverent—it does not deny this; in fact, it revels in it.\”

Edwin and Zub chatted with Chris Arrant at Newsarama in depth about the first issue of Skullkickers, walking readers through some of the little bits that may have flown by while they read the issue and extra background material that will come to light later on in the series.

Movie/entertainment megasite Ain\’t It Cool News has posted a review of Skullkickers #1, stating that \”SKULLKICKERS is a thematic amalgam of almost every geek trapping that sets our Twitter feeds atwitter.\”and \”everyone who loves comics should buy SKULLKICKERS\”.

We\’re thrilled at such praise from a highly regarded site like AICN. Thanks, guys!

I was a special guest host on the Watchtower Comic Podcast this week, discussing Skullkickers and also running through recent comic news, reviews and gossip. Give it a listen and enjoy.
