Read the full take

Villain to Kill is a high-concept superpower thriller with a body-swap hook that drives the story. A powerful psyker with a good heart finds himself, after an unexpected chain of events, in the body of a high-school boy who has just become a villain. The premise raises the stakes immediately, and the question of whether his sense of justice can survive the transformation is the story's engine. The action has clear energy, and the full-colour art makes the powers vivid. The lead's struggle to stay good is compelling. The honest cons: the rules of the power system can be vague, and some arcs feel more like set-ups than payoffs. The tone can feel uneven when the story jumps between villains and heroes. Still, it is a fun, fast-paced read for fans of superpower stories. If you enjoy moral dilemmas delivered with a lot of action, this is worth a look.
