3. Kill or Be Killed

(Image Comics)

Here's a little psychological thriller for you. Some blood and death and creeping insanity.

And, hey, it's our old friends Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips! This comic is still ongoing, but you can buy the first two volumes right now. And you also should do exactly that thing I just said, because this is one of the best comics on the stands, hands down.

Dylan is a 28-year-old grad student who's depressed and in love with his best friend Kira, who has a boyfriend. So Dylan decides to jump off the roof. He does just that, but immediately changes his mind about wanting to die.

By some miracle, Dylan survives his suicide attempt, but not without cost. The next night, he's visited by a demon, who tells Dylan that he’s going to die. The only way to prevent that is to start killing. One person a month, to be specific. So Dylan becomes a vigilante, murdering those he feels deserve to die, while the criminals he targets and the police are both gunning for him.

It's good and creepy and fascinating at every turn.
