Dylan and Kira makeup one of the most realistic relationships in comic books. Brubaker has an unrivaled ability to split open his main character's skull and show you how his brain works. Phillips and Breitweiser are a uniquely dynamic art duo that breathes life into each panel that you can feel in your chest. Read Full Review

I'm sure we'll get back to the demon at some point, but for now this noir comic is doing just fine. Read Full Review

Kill or Be Killed #12 is yet another example of why this is one of the best comics on our stands. Delivering a self contained narrative, that sets the stage for the story's future, the creative team do a fantastic job of building yet more tension. During this we see the mental state of Dylan stretched even further, with it becoming harder not to see him as the villain of this story. Read Full Review

Aside from a overabundance of flashbacks (that makes the movie Inception look subdued by comparison), Kill or Be Killed brilliantly edges us closer to Dylan's transformation into a full blown killing machine. Read Full Review

Of course, one of the biggest joys of reading Kill or be Killed is seeing what Sean Phillips draws each month, and this issue is an embarrassment of riches. At this point theres really no worries in reading a Brubaker/Phillips book, as theyre a fusion where the writing melds effortlessly with the art. Elizabeth Breitweiser's colors continue to be as fantastic as they were in this previous team's comic:The Fade Out.This comic takes place in the modern day as opposed to the throwback era of The Fade Out, which demands a different set of tools, and the dark colors really help set the gritty tone that Brubakers writing and Phillips art go for. Its really no exaggeration to say this is one of the best comics coming out right now. If you love well-written and beautifully drawn comics, youll hop on while the getting is good. Read Full Review

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips and Elizabeth Breitweiser are one of the best in the comic game, especially the noir-crime drama's. From issue 1 it has been and outstanding book, and one of the best books of 2017 this year. If you like Fatale etc from Brubaker and Phillips pick this up on trade to catch up, and get to buying it every month lol because it's that good! Anyway if your a fan of noir-crime thrillers mixed with a little supernatural? Or is it just in the main character Dylan's head? Hmm I won't spoil it pick this up! 10 out of 10...

This series continues to shine in an action and intrigue filled issue. Brubaker has done a great job in his characterization of Dylan, once hesitant to commit violence, now a cold killer. The beast, if it exists, seems to have taken a back seat as Dylan no longer needs its motivation to kill. Great story, great Sean Phillips art.

Unlike some people I actually am a huge fan of the demon aspect of this comic. Although we did not get any of that this issue, it was absolutely fantastic. The stakes are really being upped every week and every week Dylan get's that much better. As always the art is on point. Favorite book out right now.

Yet another great issue of one of the best, most underrated comic inthe business. It just won't stop being interesting even with the same characters doing pretty much de same thing since the beginning. Dylan just gets more focused and is able to split is life in two more easily, and Kira is still as complicated and as full as a character can be. Vigilantism is depicted in a very unique, profound way that is rarely so well layered and nuanced. The little "gotta-rewind-the-story-to-explain-this-scene" slowly starts getting a bit old, but it seems to be the main story trick here and it's not as annoying as you'd think. Please, don't miss out on this. Superheroes are great, but there are many other things out there.
