Kill Or Be Killed Vol 1 & #5 In Stores Today, Walking Dead Tribute Variant in February -- and More!
After a relatively quiet December, Kill Or Be Killed returns today. At your local shop, you should find both the first, discounted trade paperback collection and the next issue in Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' ongoing vigilante story. A four-page preview of KOBK #5 is available at Image's website, linked above, and on its homepage, Image Comics highlights the new issue with a couple extra image details and some cryptic allusions to the new issue.

We saw that the year ended with a new email newsletter from Ed Brubaker, and subscribers were treated to an early look at the 4-page preview, at a slightly lower resolution. We also got a preview of the artwork for the back-matter essay, in which a new contributor -- culture critic Kim Morgan -- takes a close look at the 1971 black comedy Little Murders. And, we get a bit of behind-the-scenes artwork and some elaboration on the premise of Kill or Be Killed,
Brubaker briefly explained why he abruptly shut down his Twitter feed in late November: he explains that one reason is that, despite attracting some 90,000 followers, more people receive his newsletter than see an individual tweet.
And, he reminds readers that he's working on other projects...
(The culture site Vulture ended 2016 with a preview of this year's upcoming horror movies, and the list includes the Brubaker-penned remake of Maniac Cop, with a release date still TBD. We last reported that the movie was scheduled to be filmed this past summer.)
...in his newsletter, Brubaker teases, "I have a few secret TV projects in various stages. One that you could hear about at any moment." We haven't seen any announcements so far, but we'll be sure to keep our readers posted.
Readers can check out the entire newsletter online, and Ed Brubaker has now provided a simpler web address for new readers to subscribe:

Finally, the big news this month was that, on Friday the 13th, Image Comics announced a set of variant covers to be released this February, on the 25th anniversary of the publishing company's debut. Current series will honor the past with homages of important covers from other Image titles -- for instance, Sex Criminals and The Wicked + The Divine pay tribute to each other's debut issues -- and the press release includes eleven of the fifteen 25th anniversary variant covers.
At the top of the page is the variant cover for Kill Or Be Killed #6, honoring what may be Image's most widely read single issue, The Walking Dead #1.
It appears that Sean Phillips did this cover -- check out the SP17 on the wall, just underneath Dylan's shotgun-filled hand -- and a close look reveals what has captured Dylan's attention. In the reflection of the shattered storefront window, we see the cop from the standard cover for issue #6.
