Kill or Be Killed Volume 3

So, I'm a big time Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips fan. Their collaborations have produced some of the best graphic novel series, particularly in the noir genre. "Criminal"; "The Fadeout"; "Scene of the Crime"; etc. Even a super hero centric title like "Sleeper" becomes a dark spy thriller with a truly noir ending. Anyway, the latest installment of the series continues the high level of story-telling in the first two volumes.I'm continually impressed at how they balance the action sequences with these quiet character moments. Even more so, the whole self-aware shtick (which, unlike a lot of schlock out there trying to be cute and clever, is actually compelling and pushes narrative) where the character's comment on the diversions in action. These idiosyncratic tidbits of info are probably more intriguing than the action sequences, to be honest. Quick note: these are bloody, violent scenes with some really bravura graphic design on Phillips part.In short: A supernatural take on vigilantism that, in the end, is not really about vigilantism. It's about all sorts of things -- family relationships, mental illness, secrets, bitterness and loss. READ. NOW.

You can't go wrong with a Brubaker/Phillips book and Kill or Be Killed vol. 3 continues to amaze. This is a great story and I highly recommend it.

This volume felt like I read it in 5 minutes. Mind you, he does wrap back around to where the flash forward was when the story wrapped up but it felt like the climax. Dylan resolved some things with himself, with Kira, and the Russian mob.But then bam, not everything is resolved and more is left to uncover. So let's do it.

The author is aware of his tangential tendencies. Still, he delivers on the mystery of the demon which seem to effect males in his family. This would include a half brother. Can't wait for volume 4.

Got all 4 and read them in a week - a few hours a night - while watching TV. Very different story and interesting view on a troubled life, difficult childhood, and mental struggles.

I didn't enjoy the first volume but with the second volume I got into the series and I liked this volume as well can't wait to read the next volume

The terrific trio are back again with volume 3, and it only gets better with every chapter!

My brother and Fiancee are reading this series and they really enjoy it.

Great storytelling, gripping plot. Is it noir? Is it supernatural? Beautifully written, gritting drawn with intermittent luscious sensual art integral in itself to the story. Perfect combination of words and pictures

Really tight story, superb artwork - surprised it hasn't been adapted into a TV series yet.

This is turning into a really enjoyable series. Cracking read and great artwork.

Brilliant book. Loving it.

Great story and art!
