    - Art wise this is the best comic series of the year -

    Story it's awesome but for now the most unique concept ever. And so a subscription is earned.

    The story itself isn't all that original and the dialogue at times is a little stiff but mostly acceptable. Where this book seriously shines is in the sumptuous art and stunning colour panels. Totally breathtaking by David Fich and worth the cover price alone......JM

    Skinbreaker is flawless comic artistry. David Finch has found the perfect playground for his intricate style in the lush landscapes and ethnic embroidery of this world, and Annalisa Leoni's strange but beautiful coloring brings it all to life. Rus Wooton's simple but elegant lettering provides some much needed clarity and calmth to the detail-obsessed pages.

    The story of Skinbreaker #1 is simple but engaging. The three main characters, despite looking very similar at first glance, are easily distinguishable by character, body type and other details, which is quite a feat.
    I also enjoyed the subtle world building around the eponymous weapon and the nature of the... orks? There are more similarities to Jim Henson's Dark Cryst more
