geekwayne's review against another edition
2.0
'Clankillers Vol. 1' by Sean Lewis with art by Antonio Fuso is a graphic novel that takes place in an ancient Ireland. Like a lot of fantasy stories these days, it falls in the grimdark category and is quite graphic.
Finola has a problem with her father, and she decides to plot against him with her friend Cillian. Their plan includes waking up all the weird fantasy creatures, going after the clans, then going after her father.
It all feels like a lark, except there are a lot of corpses. Finola seems really detached from what she is actually doing, as long as it serves her ultimate goal. The problem is that I don't care enough for any of these characters to understand or sympathize. They feel like so many bowling pins being set up so they can die gruesomely for style sake.
The art feels as rushed as the story. At times it's hard to tell some characters apart. I can like the rushed aspect because it does put some urgency into a story, but when it was all said and done, I just wasn't a fan.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This is an Irish fantasy that is more confusion than it is story. Plus it’s written like a teenagers wet dream. Scantily clad women that serve no purpose other than T & A, and obsessive amounts of gore for no reason. This book and the series is a hard pass for this reviewer.
