Kill or Be Killed

Anyone been reading this gem in the rough?

Once I realized the kid's not meant to be making social commentary, he's just kind of a whiny prick who's trying to convince himself he's not just a fucking murder I really started to enjoy it.

Fucking same, I can't wait until later in the current arc when he is caught and shit

is Brubaker or Remender a better writer
I constantly confuse the two of them

I can't read the title without hearing that flower.

Brubaker is kinda one-sided but does his thing better than Remender.

Brubaker by some distance. Brubaker specialises in noir and crime, while Remender is mostly a sci fi and fantasy writer. My answer may be a bit biased since sci if and fantasy are a dime a dozen among Image books, compared to other genres.

I won't say Remender has a lot of variety himself.

Its pretty interesting especially the latest one where he has the stand off with the cops. So is the Demon real or is it just A Schizo episode? I want to believe the Demon is real desu

Going to read this in trade. Would you say it is better that way or in floppies?

Remender

Brubaker is a one trick pony

Bru and Phillips usually have great back matter stuff in the singles but it's not like needed for the story or anything

Same but replace Remender with Rucka

But all Remender does is sci fi.

I think it reads better in trade, but most of these issues have been oversized, so I think it'll read okay in singles too.

plus the singles get cool little essays at the back, usually about movies and crime noir in general (assuming you care about stuff like that)

those essays usually get added to the deluxe hardcovers they put out eventually, so if you don't care about them that much you can always check them out there.

Brubaker is the better writer.

Remender generally has a wider amount of stuff out at any given point (I think he has 3? Image books right now, teenage action, sci-fi, and fantasy/sci-fi)

where Brubaker mainly sticks to Crime Noir or Espionage stories (but he does them amazingly)

I like criminal, velvet, the fade out, sleeper and scene of the crime.
But I don't like this or fatale at all.

Fatale was formulaic to the point that it was just the same story over and over again,

Brubaker is currently working on Westworld too.

see im the opposite. fade out and velvet bored me, but im really enjoying kill or be killed in comparison.

But he's writing a fantasy comic.

Fatale makes me sad because it tires to be this deconstruction of a female archatype in noir and also this weird cosmic horror story. I mean it's so close to being good, but man does that ending botch it up.
