The Outcome: Skinned is an experience, a smart and complex story and world that asks readers to accept it for it for what it is.

Skinned is an intelligent look at perception and reality that challenges you as you read it. The themes on these pages are heavy but the art is colorful and light. Its the perfect mixture that is a cause for celebration, its a comic that pushes the medium and forces you to think. What more could you ask for? Read Full Review
This was a step up for this series. These creators know what they're doing and they're playing a longer game than usual, given the format in which they're working. And while it took me four months to catch up with this issue, I'll be eagerly waiting for the next issue to drop. Read Full Review
