Meh this was supposed to be a comedy but the jokes were uber corny.
The entire plot of this book can be accurately summed up by it's title. Like sexcastle, this book is incredibly funny, and obviously there's a crap ton of butt kicking. And that's basically it.
This goofy homage to Kill Bill and The Raid: Redemption almost won me over by the sheer enthusiasm of its mindless violence but lost me with a dramatic death and a stupid twist in the closing stretch.
Corny revenge fantasy where being trained as a fighter enables a person to survive explosions and fend off 20 attackers at a time — all on the same day!Marketed as a love letter to action movies, it does embody the cheesiness, the unrealistic situations, and cartoonish characters (although criticizing cartoonish characters in a comic book is perhaps going too far . . .).There is humour here, in the sense that it is a genre parody or mocking itself. My favourite joke was an automobile trunk full
She's like a young Beatrix Kiddo, a deadly assassin betrayed by her clan. He's a goofy take on Cobra: Crime is a persistent rash...and he's the steroid cream. Together they fight their way to the top of a goon-filled high rise to take out the baddest bad guy and reclaim their lives.Kill Them All reads like a couple guys had a blast slapping it together in their garage after school and accidentally made something good. The illustration is full-speed-ahead un-self-consciously amateurish, and yet i...
Pretty good action and flow, but the art never worked for me and the comedy's a hit-or-miss. Maybe I haven't seen enough action flicks.
An ex-cop tries to get his reputation back and an assasin tries to get her revenge. Their fates meet at the base of a skyscraper and their destination (and destiny) is the top floor.It's kinda like Kill Bill meets Jackie Chan meets Kick-Ass. The art is sketchy and there are some good lines. Not bad, it's a quick read. Above average 6/10.
Some folks fight their way through a building, floor by floor, from bottom to top.With humor thrown in, this is basically a poorly executed comedic version of The Raid Redemption.
"I'm going to kick ass until my leg falls off" pretty sums up the awesomeness of this book.A true tribute to 90's' action movies, with the cartoonish art working amazingly in favor of the incredible amount of violence, that could make even Deadpool sob.
A total guilty pleasure.
He's the world's best cop, benched just because he blew up half the city and shot that man's penis off; she's been betrayed by the organisation that raised her from childhood to be an elite assassin. Both of them want to get the bastard who's hiding out at the top of 15 storeys of psychos, and an uneasy alliance ensues. Yes, from the dude who brought you Sexcastle (seriously, that's how it credits him on the cover), it's another loving action movie homage/spoof. The sheer crazy vim is what makes...
Kill Them All is a shot of adrenaline, heroin, every action film from the 80s and early 90s, karate, and the most delicious meal you've ever had in your life delivered straight to your eyeballs and maybe your pinky toe. Kyle Starks kills the printed page with his send up to the very particular subgenre of action film where the hero(es) have to painstakingly make their way to the top to kill the big bad facing many challenges along the way. The Raid Redemption and Dredd are two modern examples. I...
Kill Them All is an absurd love letter to the insanity of over the top action movies of the 80's and 90's and martial arts films. Filled with all the notable cliches like an endless amount of flying bullets, tough as nails no nothing cop, and a kickass female ninja determined to find revenge. Imagine if you took something in the ilk of Naked Gun, modernized it up the silliness and body county you then would have Kill Them All. Starks also art style ties it all together. What can be overlooked in...
Bloody and bloody hilarious, cartoonist Kyle Starks’ shoot-‘em-up graphic novel, “Kill Them All” is probably the most fun I’ve had reading a comic all year. Like the bastard child of movies such as “Kill Bill” and “The Raid” and comics such as “Powers” and the “Scott Pilgrim” series, “Kill Them All” is a love letter to violence, cursing, boozing, and grizzled anti-heroes. From the first page to the last, Starks’ pace (breakneck), tone (over-the-top), and mood (irreverent) make for a highly enter...
I was hoping to give this 5 starts after reading Kyle's hilarious Sexcastle. Kill Them All is more of the same (which is what I wanted!) although it doesn't hold up as well. The story seems a bit forced if that makes any sense. It's a coherent story, but I just couldn't get into the motives of the protagonists. I kept hoping it may get better, but the humor was a bit too ridiculous to be funny.I'm still a fan of the author and will check out his other work. I'd say definitely check out Sexcastle...
In this book we face the practicality of two tiny swords, the necessity of two flasks, and why two badasses are better than one. Still fun, still funny, but I think Sexcastle is a better take on the tropes this book touches on.
Pretty meh until about halfway through when it developed some friggin' heart and then it was AWESOME. Cheesy violence alone = boo, BUT cheesy violence with HEART = YEAHHH!
This is a pretty silly book. I read it with an enjoyably swift enthusiasm, but if I was comparing how much I liked it to Peter Weller movies, it's more Fifty/Fifty than Robocop. Fun stuff and a quick read, so definitely read it if you want to get some funny action in you, but Sexcastle is still the winner in the Kyle Starks catalog.
Re-read. posting my original review (which first appeared at https://comicbastards.com/comics/revi... in 2017)Kyle Starks is the best thing ever! And he has a new book out and it is called Kill Them All. I have basically loved everything he has done since I first read Sexcastle a few years back. Kyle Starks' books are silly and weird and totally fucking intense. And Kill Them All is no different. This book is great. It is everything I have come to love from both Kyle Starks and the medium of com...
FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK: "a love letter to your favorite action movies and bullet ballets of the 90s"That is a 100% correct.KILL THEM ALL is the most explosively fun comic book I will read all year. Don't let its simple art style fool you, because Eisner award nominated Writer/Artist Kyle Starks understands bone deep how to illustrate and pace action. He gets what's amusing about the genre, but he also freaking LOVES IT, which allows him to create something that works comedically as WELL as em...
