Imagine a world where the two dominant and competing Cola companies, each worth billions, are owned by former conjoined twins who are now separated and have grown to hate each other so much they hire assassins, saboteurs, and espionage personnel to meddle with each other on a daily basis. This is the story about brotherly love run afoul, and the people they enlist to do their dirty work.
A dangerous web of lies and deception forms under the guide of cola companies in this unique tale. Palmiotti & Johnson take readers on a very different spy story. Santacruz, Reber and Konot head into the chaos and charm with the art. What side will take victory is really anyones guess. Read Full Review

Pop Kill #1 offers little in both style and substance. It's a comic that at once thinks it's smarter than it is yet not nearly as senseless as it desperately needs to be. Its influences are obvious, leaning on imitation. Read Full Review
