Wow! I‘m a Brubaker fan. But this was just at a whole new level of awesomeness. I tore through Vol 1 & 2, and I‘ll be looking for the next two volumes ASAP.
Dark, twisted, complicated ... everything you want in a story with a demon 😈

Put this on your list if you like supernatural noir.

Another triumph from Ed Brubaker! Gritty, dark, and more than a little messed up, Kill or be Killed centers on Dylan, a college student who survives a brush with death. Because he lived, he must now kill or his life will end. As his life slowly unravels, you wonder what is real, and how much is in his head.

GrilledCheeseSamurai I only know The Sculptor...which I have and own and really like. It's kind of a slice of life graphic novel with a bit of a supernatural twist. 👍 7y
MinDea @GrilledCheeseSamurai is the love story in The Sculptor very prominent? He seems to be not interested in love stories... 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @MinDea Yeeeeeeah. It kind of is. I don't know if it would be his cuppa. Alot of my buds that do read comics think it's silly and, good naturedly, make fun of me. I figure a good story is a good story so I think it's them that's weird. 7y
MinDea @GrilledCheeseSamurai he does like a good story, but love stories have be secondary. Ok. I'll keep looking for new ideas! Thank you!!!! 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Chrononauts is a fun time travel bromance. 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Deadly class is hugely popular. 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Redneck is also very popular although I haven't actually read this but plan on it soon. 7y
MinDea Oh sweet! Thank you! @GrilledCheeseSamurai !!! 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @MinDea No problem. If you still need more or those don't do it just hollar! We'll find something that grabs him eventually. 👍🙃 7y
MinDea Thank you! I am so new to graphic novels so I have no idea about anything! @GrilledCheeseSamurai 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @MinDea There's a comic out there for everyone. It's just a matter of finding it! It's a little tougher when I don't know the person but we'll figure it out! Is he interested at all in Superhero stuff or no? 7y
MinDea @GrilledCheeseSamurai he loves Marvel movies like Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy, but not sure how he feels about them in comic book form... 🤔 He tried Preacher the TV show and didn't like it. He loves TWD but tried the graphic novel and not that interested... 7y

I really felt bad for Dylan. He got a second chance at life, but had to deal with the consequences of that. I'm looking forward to reading Volume 2 which is coming out next week. It's a good series. Ed Brubaker once again did an awesome job with this story as he did with The Winter Soldier.

I'm hooked!!!! I don't want to wait for volume two, so I will most likely be running out to buy the issues. While I loved "The Fade Out" this is more my type of series.

Love this scene of Coney Island in winter. I agree it's still magical even if deserted.

Super violent murder scenes. But an interesting story about a conflicted and depressed grad student who survives his suicide attempt, only to find himself in servitude to a demon who requires one death a month.

Reading about killers with my fur hunter Slick! I liked this gritty comic about a regular Joe who cheats death and then must kill for a demon to survive. Moral dilemmas abound. #killingiscompicated
