“ONE THOUSAND OPAS AND A DEAD BODY,” Part Three—A pilfered poison
pabulum has pickled pieces of our protagonist’s paunch while portentous
poetic prophecies proudly parade apace, parlaying a perilous paradigm.
Paraphrasing: SKULLKICKERS is a particularly perfect packaged pamphlet
of plucky pulp worth every precious penny in perpetuity. Purchase!”
Skull Kickers #3
First of all the “tripping sequence” are you serious? How can you relate
that both verbally and visually any better in a comic book? Ridiculous!
onto this issue, it rocks. I find myself flying through the pages, not
because there is nothing on them of course, but because I get lost in
this universe so well. This issue finds our heroes basically running
into more trouble but ends with probably the best cliffhanger yet. I
also want to make sure to throw some love at colors on this one. The
sequence mentioned above and the glowing weapon, I mean come on can it
get any more GORE-geous? another winning issue for this awesome series.
Oh and thanks for the recipes.
Skull Kickers #4
Best cover of the series to date, mostly because that is one bad ass
character design. This issue does 2 things that can easily sum up how
great this series is. 1. The humor. From kicking your own ass to giving
me “movie” quality subtitles, I mean are you serious? It’s genius! 2.
Action. i mean we have 2 fantasy like characters who are designed to be
action stars and in this issue they deliver on all fronts! Oh and
remember how I said that the last issue had the best ending yet? I lied,
this on does.
Dying Breath: 4.5 out of 5
I will try to make this as plan and simple as I can, READ THIS BOOK! Buy
the singles, buy the trade, I don’t care but read this book. That’s it I
just figured it out, it’s an 80′s buddy cop movie! I won’t say which
one is Mel Gibson or Danny Glover, but that is the perfect way to kind
of explain what is going on here. Action ✓, Humor ✓, Horror ✓the most
fun I am having in comics right now ✓. It’s that simple.
