first of I lied this is no gem... actually its like a big fat lump of coal you need to burn to keep the cold away
Kill Your Boyfriend is an over the top drug, sex, and nonsensical violence rhetoric in the form of a stuipid comic (bc it is pretty dumb). anyways i hate typing like a dumbass so ill stop thatshit now
SPOILERS INCOMING IF YOUR INTRESTED ITS LIKE 6$ AT YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP
grant morrison does that thing where the first panel ties into the last panel which feels kinda cheap but I HEAVILY FUCK WITH
The main charactor being the teenage school girl doesnt ever get a name (only referred to as the girl), i think its to give some super deep thoughts about the everywoman archetype but for me it reinforces the idea of identity loss and transformation.
KYB covers alot in the short 48 and i think its hits the mark it intends but what the fuck i know im stupid as a mf

We start on a bus 2 school, the girl chats with her friend about how homework is fuckn evil while we get introduce to the male lead who also doesnt have a fuckn name woah so crazy.
anyhow our girl starts comes home to her parents finding her sexy lingerie and some condoms. her mom doesnt care about her and only what the neighbors have to say.. so she storms off starting her journey as a delinquent runaway
now the male lead.. actually in 2013 he was voted as #10 on their list of the 50 Sexiest Male Characters in Comics which is fucking crazy because this comic only shows him involved in inc3st (ignore that ill speak about it later ROFL) sorry just something crazy i remembered..
MALE LEAD introduces himself to our girl :D yay.. offering her a drink they start talking about how her life is so horrible and how she hates everything when our guy briefly explain how she isnt angry about her life but simply bored
/:D/
ive explain the story up briefly untill this point because after this everything goes downhill. He leads her into a life of crime and shes happy. male lead tells her shes not a terrible person because shes bored and the only way to cure bordem is to do something criminal or intresting "These days it comes to the same thing" -ML
the idea of being a bored teenager tired of life is something most kid had and filling that boredom with crime is something most teen do, but when shown by a older "mature" person it gives you that sense of dread that crept up my spine.
I wanna say this has to do with something about the powerdynamic of man and women and how man saves women but im not smart enough and WAYYYYY to drunk 2 comment about dat LOL
Our girl talks about it a few time understanding her role in this relationship as a young girl she isnt reliable for any damages, in the final panels she says she herself that she "hasnt killed anyone myself" shifting the blame onto the boy. I wanna say this is a comment on our society forces the idea of this is the only good time of your life because your not liable for anything you do! but thats something ive experince myself
ive been ranting about this shet for way to long so ill wrap it up nicely as possible
kinda like a bombshell we get a little glimpse into our girls moms life.. how she donated her son 20 years ago to an orphanage.. our male lead is 20 something and our girl is younger than that!! the last shots of boy being alive he gives her the stamps that where found in his parcel carriage.. HE WAS FUCKING HIS SISTER THE WHOLE TIMEEEEEEE WTF i couldnt when i read this i actually dropped it to the floor
Kill Your Boyfriend talks about violoince, politics, patriarchy, art students (fuckem), and all around debauchery.. it was deffently a read and i wont lie i kinda enjoyed it.
take a shot everytime they commit a crime!
9/10 meows I HAD FUN!!
