1. Kill or Be Killed

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are two of the best people working today, and THE most consistently great team in the comic book business. And their latest outing is perfection.

Dylan is a depressed and suicidal college student who decides one night to go through with his darkest impulse. He regrets the decision immediately and survives. He thanks his good fortune, but it isn’t all good, because a demon appears and informs him that if he wants to keep on living, he has to start killing. Specifically one person a month for the rest of his life.

So Dylan becomes an urban vigilante, taking his vengeance out on those who “deserve it”. What ensues is a dark and twisted romp that is both charming and horrific. Dylan is both relatable and repulsive, and I can’t wait for each monthly issue to arrive. If you aren’t reading this right now, you are missing out on one of, if not THE, best comic on the stands.

Absolute perfection.
