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.

    Nerd Initiative - Ken M. Feb 26, 2025

    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

    Graphic Policy - Brett Feb 26, 2025

    Pop Kill #1 is entertaining but it feels like it's surface level. It could be far more in its satire and commentary but it goes for the “boobs and bombs” angle. It's a type of comic that's popular and has it audience and delivers some funny moments, but overall, it's a great concept that feels like it's wasted so far. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Theron Couch Feb 27, 2025

    This is an enjoyable romp of a first issue. The story and humor are offbeat, and the art is vivid and dynamic. Pop Kill #1 is an effective beginning to a fun and possibly absurd action comedy series. Read Full Review

    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Feb 26, 2025

    POP KILL #1 has an interesting idea at its center about rival soda companies that employ killers to hold territories and sabotage competitors. Dave Johnson and Jimmy Palmiotti's script has a few bright spots, and the world is interesting. Sadly, the pacing drops in the second half considerably, and there's no reason to care about the main character, so the issue falls flat. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - Jack Stewardson Mar 1, 2025

    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
