Who would have predicted that Skullkickers, the chaotic and wildly funny book about doltish monster killers would really be a book about environmentalism?  Not since Paul Chadwick's Concrete has a comic explored the relationship between mankind and his environment in such a profound way.  Well, okay, maybe not.  But still, it's nice to see what the woman with the arrows, who we first saw in the first issue, is up to.

Most of this comic is more of the same Skullkickers goodness.  The guys have just about everyone angry with them - soldiers, an angry mob, and the thieves guild.  There is a lot of marching, mobbing, and swarming going on, as these three groups scour the streets looking for our heroes.  They are too busy developing medical applications for the questionable practice of gerbiling, choosing instead to use a dead squirrel.

This book really isn't like anything else on my pull-list, and for that, I'm thankful that its been so reliably good.  It makes a nice break from what normally makes up my pile of weekly comics.
