REVIEW: ‘Kill Them All’ is def a non-stop action comic

Assassins and cops mixed with a high body count don’t necessarily mix well. This comic has it all and loads of fun.
Kyle Starks, both writer and artist, introduces the reader to two detectives and an assassin in a frantic fashion. These two parties may be deemed as separate but they’re united as the comic moves forward. The story is simple, these two parties want to climb up a building to face their common target and with a story like this, there’s a ton of action to be found. Action is as frantic as the opening pages of this comic with every piece looking nicely choreographed along with some comedy that almost comes off as improvisational if this were a film. To break up the action, there’s a number of character moments that focus on backstories. It delivers and ultimately takes away the worry that there might be too much action.
Starks’ art is simple but there’s a lot of thought to it in terms of how easy it is to look at during action pieces. Colors certainly pop during gunfights, explosions and fist fights. The art is equally as fun as the mayhem happening in the story itself.
Kyle Starks’ Kill Them All is like a nonstop action film on paper, engaging the reader with a simple story that comes with a wildly paced plot, simplistic art that captures the action really well, and some neat character moments to break up all the mayhem. It’s definitely worth the read whether you’re looking for an action oriented comic or just a great comic in general.
