:( Sad face!I really liked the look of this, but alas it has not hooked me.It has a lot of potential, but it just falls flat in the end.
Fun and funny, sword and sorcery comic. Although I do wish they would have stuck to the artist who did issue #0.
I can see why Zub started writing the D&d stories. The art by Huang is very clean giving it a sort of digital look, like its been created on computer. Solid fantasy with graphic action and a devent amount of humour. Too many issues for me to want to continue.
A couple of unnamed mercs take on a mission to recover a royal corpse 'deadified' by assassination.This first volume of Skullkickers gives us a taste of great things to come! There are Goblins, busty merchant women, Undead zombie beasties, and giant gooey looking monster types! Throw in an angry Dwarf mercenary with a big, bald, gun-shooting companion and you got yourself a story!I mean really...what more do you need outta a comic book?Also, the pictures in this book are pretty freaking awesome
Set in fantasyland (think your standard D&D/Word of Warcraft landscape) where your fantasy comes true if you've ever wanted to live in Game of Thrones, a prince is assassinated and his body stolen by a necromancer. The kingdom hires a pair of bounty hunters – a nameless dwarf and barbarian – to bring his body back for burial but things don’t go quite according to plan and soon they have a zombie apocalypse on their hands!Skullkickers is a light-hearted take on the fantasy genre, mixing in humour...
Beautiful Fantasy art, fantastic send-up of Conan/D&D style mayhem, and wonderfully brazen self-interest on the part of these anti-heroes. Dark, pitch-black humor, but if you go in expecting it its hilarious. And it definitely doesn't take itself too seriously, a danger of fantasy--often the story takes itself way more serious than the reader is able to make him/her self take it. Not the case here. It's just absolutely hilarious. I do the team had chosen to go with the "more rendered" look of th...
The kind of story that the word "romp" was invented to describe. These two skullkickers inhabit a world that feels like a cartoonier, darkly funnier Lankhmar. If you love Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser (if you are my friend you'd damn well better) then you'll enjoy this goofy romp (see!) through a world of sword and sorcery that is smart and funny in a way that acknowledges where its roots are without being too jokey and navel-gazing to enjoy on its own merits.
Kind of a mess on the whole. Mushy, cartoony art that loses a lot in the fight scenes (can't tell what's going on much of the time). Goofy, comic banter that doesn't really fit with what's happening. Rat Queens is mining very similar territory, but doing it a thousand times better. This just isn't for me.
I thought this would be the boy equivalent of rat queens and I was wrong. the art work is a bit dodgy and the writing is Meh. There are pages of fights where it's just argh plorp splat bloosh and that can be funny but I guess skullkickers just isn't for me.
A great read for any D&D player. The humor is completely on point for RPG gamers and very not for little ones. Love this so much.
Very funny light story.
A fantasy comedy with one of the funniest characters I've experienced in any medium. The tone of the writing and artwork match perfectly.
Odd at first, but quickly entertaining when its quirks were understood.
Jim Zub is my favorite author working today! Hands down Skull-kickers is his VERY best work.
meh.
Rompy and fun. I think maybe what I liked best about it was the intro by Robin D Lawes though.
Fun and fast paced!
Fun, although not a very deep story. Great art though.
Meh. Might get volume 2.
