Skullkickers #100 (2015) is a masterclass in tongue-in-cheek storytelling and meta-humour, marking the "final" issue of Jim Zub’s chaotic, sword-swinging, monster-bashing fantasy series from Image Comics. Don’t be misled by the numbering—this milestone is more of a celebratory nod to the wild ride that preceded it, rather than a literal hundred-issue count. It’s a fittingly irreverent end to one of indie comics' most beloved cult titles.
In this issue, Skullkickers does what it does best: breaks the fourth wall, punches conventional narrative structure in the face, and gleefully skewers everything from classic fantasy tropes to comic book industry norms. Whether you've been following the brawling duo of Rex and Rolf (or Baldy and Shorty, depending on your level of formality) from the beginning or you're jumping in for the grand finale, this issue delivers absurdist comedy, stylised violence, and a cheeky sense of self-awareness that has become the series' trademark.
Jim Zub’s script is sharp and unapologetically over-the-top, embracing the series’ chaotic tone and giving long-time readers plenty of in-jokes and callbacks. Meanwhile, the artwork—handled by Edwin Huang and a slew of returning guest artists—explodes with vibrant energy. Every panel bursts with exaggerated action, expressive characters, and a colourful palette that amplifies the comic’s animated, Dungeons & Dragons-meets-heavy-metal feel.
What makes Skullkickers #100 particularly memorable is its refusal to end on a sombre or overly reflective note. Instead, it doubles down on everything that made the series stand out: mayhem, mockery, and manic charm. It’s a love letter to fans and a perfect send-off to a story that never took itself too seriously—but always delivered seriously good entertainment.
