What happens to you?” the writer explains. “It’s somebody who has no training, no desire and no burning need to go get revenge on the world, but they’re forced into this position. Kill or Be Killed is an examination of a vigilante like, say, the Punisher that also focuses on the ramifications of violence and how it affects the main character’s loved ones, according to Brubaker. Something horrible happens the introverted, late-twentysomething main character, and he’s then forced to don a mask and kill one bad person every month in a story that Brubaker describes as Death Wish meets Breaking Bad and 1970s Spider-Man comics. For the first time in a while, writer Ed Brubaker is getting to tell a story with a good guy for a change, though one who has to murder somebody every month.Ī master of modern pulp, Brubaker teams again with longtime artist collaborator Sean Phillips and colorist Elizabeth Breitweiser for Kill or Be Killed, a new Image Comics series launching in August centered on a NYU grad student with a serious problem.
