Comic Book Critic Gives SK#9 a 9/10

\"\"

The Comic Book Critic plays catch up with Skullkickers and reviews our brand new issue, getting fully immersed and giving it a 9/10.

\”After 8 issues, Skullkickers is getting better and better. That’s pretty darn good considering there’s not a bad issue in the lot. Jim Zubkavich brings together all the elements of Dungeons and Dragons, action/adventure stories, a buddy film, and mixes it all together with a good dose of comedy. Edwin Huang and Misty Coats do a great job at bringing the characters to life; the timing of the comic script and art is perfect.\”
