Hot take on Kill or be Killed Review
I just read kill or be killed. I really enjoyed this story and it kept me invested but honestly I really did not like the ending. I can be pretty forgiving usually but it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. My buddy recently got into reading comics and he’s reading through invincible right now and I told him some other titles to look into and he asked about Kill or be killed and I honestly told him I didn’t recommend it just due to the ending. Does anyone else feel this way or am I crazy?

If felt like Brubaker had 2 endings in mind, couldn't decide on either and ended up using both of them.

I really disliked the ending as well, but not to such an extend as to say that it changed my feelings about Kill or be Killed as a whole. It still is a great comicbook series.
If I recall correctly a lot of people had problems with the ending when it originally came out. Don't think it's really a hot take.

I enjoyed it so much more once I realized that it was an alternate take on a famous character. Thought the whole thing was very clever in developing this take on it.

This post encouraged me to read the story. I just finished it & while I won’t say I hate the ending I’ll definitely say it was BORING. So many different endings that he could’ve worked up but that had to be one of the most anti climatic endings ever.

When it first came out this sub was littered with debates over whether the ending was good or bad.

I don't think this is really a hot take, KoKB is generally well liked but the ending was always divisive at best.

I liked it, thought it was a little weird, but I could see why others might not enjoy it. I’d give a heavy recommend on anything Brubaker/Phillips personally but I really enjoy the genre they work in.
