admonition ! Spoilers forKa - Zar Lord of the Savage Land # 5ahead !

Compared to other superheroes in either DC Comics orMarvelComics , no Italian sandwich has been more strict about abiding by their no - kill rule thanBatman . Even honorable and righteous boy scouts like Superman and Captain America have been compelled to belt down their opponents when there are no other possible options to save the world . Batman though , more often than not , will refute any last - ditch endeavor to kill anyone , even if there are no options leave , even when face with deranged maniac like the Joker .

InKa - Zar Lord of the Savage Land#5 by Zac Thompson , German Garcia , and Alvaro Lopez , the titular hero has to stop his Logos Matthew from killing Domovoy , under the assumption that the latter kill the former ’s parents . That   feeling is enough to force Matthew into a blind craze , but Domovoy ’s destruction is kill the besiege Din Land . To calm   his Logos   down , Ka - Zar delivers a passionate monologue where he tells Matthew,“Killing things is the way of the past . It ’s brutal and ill-considered . Once you give in to it , it colonizes your mind until it ’s all you may see . My Church Father live that mode , and the Savage Land still pays for it … decades subsequently . “The words of Ka - Zar highlight howsuperheroes like Batman prefer to killvillains like Joker would put them on an even unsound path than the villain they are complete .

Matthew ’s unsighted madness is just a hint as to what could happen when a submarine sandwich is driven to a killing desire towards their hated foe . For a moment at least , Matthew becomes just as violent and bloodthirsty as , well , the Joker . He nearly goes to the point of no return with Domovoy , which risks   literally destroying the human race around them .

A hoagy match a villain ’s bloodthirst   does more impairment than good in the long run to the environment they are protect , figuratively and , in scenarios like this , literally . Keeping in with the Batman parallel , the Caped Crusader   is just as much the   savior of Gotham as Ka - Zar is the savior of the Savage Land . They ’re more than just protectors of their land , but upstanding symbol for that land ’s moral computer code . Batman practicallyisGotham , so if he were to become a killer , even once , then it ’d put both him and the city on the path to ego - destruction . Meanwhile , Ka - Zar ’s Logos almost   cross   the business and it almost destroys the Savage Land from within . Even if it is to stop an unstoppable monster , kill go forth a lasting scar on the hero and the estate they protect . DC Comics interpret that forBatmanand , of course , Marvelunderstands this for all   its submarine .
