I recently bought the first several issues of Brubaker's Kill or Be Killed and read the first issue yesterday. Loved it. The Punisher has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters, so initially, that was the biggest sell for me... a vigilante of sorts taking out bad people. After finishing the issue it's apparent that this series is a lot more than that. I'm really glad to read that it was decided this would be an ongoing rather than a maxi series or limited series.
Seeing as how it constantly dominates voting in our weekly Image Comics threads, I figured it deserves its own central discussion thread. I've only read the first issue so far, but spoilers are welcome for discussion here, as I plan to be caught up by the end of the weekend anyway.

It's probably my favourite ongoing that I'm reading now. I love Phillips' art and I've loved everything I've read from Brubaker (granted, that isn't much so far). Every month or so I look at what comics I'm pulling and most of them I think "shall I drop this?", "would I miss reading it if I did?" etc. but Kill or Be Killed is one comic that I definitely will not drop.

I picked up issue #8 today but I've not read it yet. Love the cover for it!
What do you think of the demon? Real? Or all in Dylan's head?Pull List: Daredevil, Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, No One, Time Before Time

I could go either way honestly. The demon being real opens up a lot of supernatural stories Brubaker could tell. The demon being in his head makes Dylan even more complex of a character. The supernatural aspect is kind of attractive, but right now I'd say it's all in his head.

I hope the demon is a product of Dylan's mental illness. I will be disappointed if the demon is real.

Just picked up the first two issues. I'm loving it, as expected with everything this creative team touches...
I'm also hoping the demon is a part of his fractured mental state, but either way I'm sure Brubaker will make it compelling...#MagnetoWasRight
