Kill or be Killed is an American comic book series created by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips. Elizabeth Breitweiser is the series colorist and it is published by Image Comics.[1] The series was announced at Image Expo in April 2016,[2] and the first issue was published by Image Comics on August 3, 2016.[3] It sold out at the distributor level the week of release and a second printing was announced August 9.[4]
The story is about Dylan, a depressed college student who attempts suicide. He survives due to unlikely events, but is soon visited by a demon who explains he spared Dylan's life. In exchange, Dylan will be allowed to live one more month for every person he kills.[5] Brubaker said he chose to make the character young because he wanted to include the optimism of youth. The comic will examine the consequences of vigilante violence and its effects on Dylan’s loved ones.[1]
