Seth DeHaan Comic Reviews

Kill or Be Killed #1 is a fantastic first issue, and fans of Brubaker and Phillips' previous work will not be disappointed. The theme of vigilante justice is not the most original, but there's a twist that really makes me want to keep reading to learn the truth of Dylan's situation, and what consequences his vigilante actions will bring.

Kill or Be Killed #2 is a solid issue, though a little lacking in the story development department. Pick it up if you enjoyed the first, and hopefully the next issue will show more forward momentum.

Prophet: Earth War thus far has been a strong continuation of the Prophet storyline, and Prophet: Earth War #5 delivers strong momentum on the way to the end. Those most interested in the cosmic weirdness might not be as enthralled by the other two parts, but they add to the whole and help flesh out the cast of supporting characters and add depth to this strange universe.

Mirror #4's ending sets us up for a clear climax, bringing some characters together and transforming others. Though the story points aren't always easy to follow, I think it's an issue well worth rereading, both to gain a better understanding of the story and a further appreciation for the art. Mirror #4 is a rewarding read and another exceptional contribution to Brandon Graham's 8house universe. I have no idea where the story's going to go in the next issue, but I can't wait to find out.

Mirror #5 is a must-read if you've been following the series, wrapping up enough of the character arcs and mysteries to leave you satisfied. If you're new to the series, skip this issue but pick up the trade when it comes out in September. It's an amazing story, and I think the turns will be easier to follow in a trade than single issues.
