Jan 15, 2020Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy depicts a dismal and hopeless reality where the status quo is cruelty and vengeance. Hate and horror rule the world. Superheroing isn't fun anymore. Read Full Review

Jan 15, 2020This issue feels like it has a bit more room to breathe than the first one did with all that it had to introduce and it's definitely a positive in its favor. I like all the subplots that are running while also focusing heavily on the bond growing between the two leads. The training is familiar stuff but it's well-executed thanks to some great artwork and layouts. I like seeing the way these two interact with each other and the kids kinda weird eagerness in getting suited up and out there with Skulldigger. There's a lot to like and I'm excited to see what comes next to see if it can really build on it more to be its own true thing. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Cidnya
Jan 14, 2020Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy #2delivers on most of the strengths of the first issue. With an explosive ending to issue two, Lemire is continuing to grow the relationship between Skulldigger and his apprentice. Even with weaker writing centering on Grimjim, this Black Hammer spin-off title is a must-read for fans of crime and vigilantes. Read Full Review

Jan 14, 2020Ultimately then, while its clearly still ramping up its momentum, Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy is an exciting new addition to the Black Hammer universe. Zonjic and Lemire are telling an interesting story that once again plays with established comic book tropes in exciting ways, and once the story hits its full stride this has the potential to become something truly special.
