A comic that wants to be all salacious, gritty and hard-core, but actually manages to bring an "ooh, look, religious types shagging boys!" leeriness to Gaelic myth, and not much else. It tries so hard in its attempts to be edgy it loses sight of what's really important, like clarity as to who's who, and an actual something that might inspire our interest in why these people are just going round killing each other.

If you like completely gratuitous violence, completely gratuitous nudity, almost no story, a bunch of "Catholic Priests are Child Rapists" jokes, super ugly artwork, and completely psychotic children then you might actually enjoy this mess.
The little story there is is basically this: the youngest of 3 princesses hates her dad because he killed her mother and is a freaking psycho, so she decides she is going to kill everyone in Ireland with her creepy friend. There are also vampires, zombies, a witch and a God who may be a demon? Add lots and lots of blood and boobs and you've got yourself this book.

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.

An Irish fantasy tale full of unlikeable a-holes. Graphically violent and full of female nudity without purpose other than to show how depraved everyone is. I found myself not caring about what happened after the first issue. If it was more than 5 issues long, I probably would have not finished it.

The art is sloppy and unfinished looking. Fuso seems to be going for a Sean Phillips look but without the polish. It looks at times like he used a hammer and chisel instead of a pencil.

'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.

A gripping graphic novel that goes straight for the jugular. Enjoyable reading, but certainly intense.

This is an interesting graphic novel with some great artwork and a solid storyline. I'll definitely be recommending this to patrons.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this early copy,

This was a DNF for me, mainly because of the explicit content.

Clankillers is a short and bloody series filled with creatures from folklore and laced with a heavy dose of morbid eccentricities in regards to the dead.

In short; it’s friggin awesome!

I’m always a sucker for unique artwork and dark story atmospheres.

The protagonist, Finola, and her friend, Cillian, both have scars of their own and you have to congratulate Sean Lewis for how quick he conveys this through excellent dialogue. The artist, Antonio Fuso, effortlessly paints vibrant and graphic detail which greatly compliments the tone of the series.

Stick through this and you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic ending.
