On this episode I discuss french comic (translated to english), The Killer. Awarded IGN's 2007 indy comic of the year, this story follows the life and times of an assassin.
A.I. Summary
I read The Killer comic twice to fully grasp its story — it's a deep, violent, and philosophical ride that follows a contract killer through his long, complex career. The comic, originally French and available as The Complete Killer on Comixology, explores his internal worldview, his rise to wealth, and his struggle to escape the assassin life. He trains others, partners in business, and even starts a family, but never truly breaks free.
I watched the Netflix adaptation (starring Michael Fassbender, directed by David Fincher) after reading the comic. While the film was solid, it only covers a small sliver of the full comic’s story and takes some creative liberties. The introspective voiceover from the comic is reflected in the film, but the comic is much richer overall.
I still read comics on Comixology, though I’m frustrated with how it’s now integrated into Kindle. I miss features from the old standalone app — especially being able to easily see new additions to Comixology Unlimited, which seems harder to find now on the iPad app.
Overall, The Complete Killer is a strong recommendation — dark, thought-provoking, and action-packed.
