Award winning creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Dave Johnson deliver an all-new graphic novel about what happens when the top two cola comapnies declare all out war on each other!
Imagine a world where the two dominant and competing Cola companies, each worth billions, are owned by former conjoined twins who are now separated and have grown to hate each other so much they hire assassins, saboteurs, and espionage personnel to meddle with each other on a daily basis. This is the story about brotherly love run afoul, and the people they enlist to do their dirty work.
Pop Kill by Jimmy Palmiotti, Dave Johnson and Juan Santacruz will be published August 19, 2025. It collects issues 1 to 4 of the series. Mad Cave Studios provided an early galley for review.
I lived through the marketing wars between the soft drink companies back in the 80's. It is nice to see others do too and have used that for a backdrop for their story.
And this story definitely has it all. Targeted for mature readers, this one has plenty of violence and sex - all presented in an exaggerated, over-the-top way. Who knew commercial competition could be so cut-throat?
The artwork by Santacruz is fantastic too. It is a very clean and detailed style that takes me back to the Bronze Age of comics. That nostalgic vibe serves as a nice counterbalance to the very modern, very graphic nature made popular in the 90's. A marriage of elements that works extremely well together.
Recommended to any comic book fans who are also into films by Quenten Tarantino.
