Kill or be Killed, Vol. 1
by Ed Brubaker
Whoa, this might be one of my fave graphic novel first volumes ever. Right off the bat it starts off amazing.
So Dylan is a person who sees the world how it is. It's messy, dirty, and honestly shit. His political views and ideas actually coassign with mine. However I don't let that effect my like of a character. I disagree with half my favorite character's written ways and what they do. My main focus is having well MADE character's that reflect who they are not just what the author is and thinks. I think Ed and Nick Spencer do that well, and it shows well here.
I love the idea of this all. Dylan makes a deal with the devil and begins to go down a very dark road. Killing because it needs to be done. If he does not kill he'll be killed. So he goes through the trash of the world and tries to kill them all one by one. I love the fact Dylan is unsure if this "demon" is even real. Some fake shit he made up in his mind. I mean the questioning of it is good enough for me to believe what he believes.
I also love his unbalance result with the girl he loves. I mean he really loves her, but due to all the crazy shit happening it might not be the best time to act on it. Also she's fucking his roommate so it might not be a good idea in general.
My only complaint is sometimes too much inner monologue. I mean I do that too when i write, so I don't take off a big chunk, but it can be annoying.
Overall this is well worth the read. Both thrilling, exciting, and a bit scary. Kill or Be Killed is a Graphic Novel you should be checking out right FUCKING now!
