The turning-point issue of the series so far! Dylan begins to find his way clear of the demon's curse, but he's trapped in a mental hospital, and no one will believe him!
And remember, each issue of KILL OR BE KILLED contains extra content and articles only available in the single issues.
As his mission proves trickier than expected and Ed Brubaker crafts a genuinely interesting internal conflict, and external bout with the copycat vigilante's inability to properly copycat poses a whole new wrench in all of Dylan's plan. Read Full Review
Resolved several plot points raised in the last few issues, and even had a bit of action! Phenomenalissue for what will likely be the last part of volume 4! Pick up this issue if you haven't already! Read Full Review
Kill or Be Killed #17 continues Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips's run of excellence. While no truly original or new idea is introduced in this issue, it doesn't particularly need one. Kill or Be Killed #17 succeeds for the same reason the prior entries have, it's just damn good. Read Full Review
Still better than a lot of comics, but Kill or Be Killed #17 might be the weakest installment of the series. Read Full Review
Brubaker and Phillips continue to deliver an original, thought invoking book every month. Kill or Be killed is a real treat and I personally can not wait for the big screen adaptation.
I liked this issue as almost a kind of one-shot; of course we are deeply immersed in the larger storyline, but this issue shows us Dylan conceive and execute a plan, with plenty of hiccups along the way. The side characters and subplots, even the main driving plot, fall away as we follow Dylan's focus...or obsession...with making his kill. The artwork is especially beautiful here, with many scenes set in snowy New York...beautiful Philips artwork to go with a compelling Brubaker plot.
Probably the weakest issue so far and that's not even such a bad thing.
