  Rhymes With Geek - The Death Of Comics

  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. Issue two cultivates the characters of Skinned while pushing the concept.

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

Issue #3 seems primed to ratchet the story back up and maybe finally give us some needed detail on the world or these characters along with a dose of drama. The premise alone makes Skinned one of this year's potentially huge sleeper hits and I desperately hope that this is just the calm before Holt, Daniel and Gowdy unleash the storm. Read Full Review
