Storyline: Ongoing
Date: June 4th, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Mark Millar
Artist: John Romita Jr.

Synopsis: Kick-Ass becomes an internet sensation.  His crush hangs out with him cause she thinks he is gay and he meets a new superhero who takes the violence up a notch.  Seriously, it’s some crazy #@!% !

You were wowed by the first two issues of this comic. But wait until you read issue three. Mark Millar (Civil War) and John Romita Jr (World War Hulk) only up the odds here and the pace is breathtaking. I read it weeks ago and I’m still having nightmares. Never have I seen such sickening violence sold to readers in the name of entertainment. If it wasn’t selling so well we’d have to stop publishing this monster. Follow Dave’s journey from zero to hero as he becomes a youtube celebrity. He sure kicked the ass of those drop-outs, didn’t he? Join us this issue where he inspires others to dress up and hurt people.

Opinion: With booby flashes, multiple expletives, and a nine year old girl who eviscerates and decapitates a man Millar has made it clear that this is an adults only party. Please leave the kids at home with the babysitter.

All those of consenting age may continue to the jump for the rest of the review.

WARNING!!: We will card anyone under the age of 35 for trying to read the rest of the review. Just kidding… or am I?!

Storyline: Ongoing
Date: April 2nd, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Mark Millar
Artist: John Romita Jr.

Synopsis: Dave Lizewski wasn’t the class jock or the class geek. He wasn’t the class clown or class genius or class anything…but he was a comic book fan. One day, he put on a superhero costume–and got his ass kicked.

Sickening violence…just the way you like it. The most screwed-up superhero comic of all time continues in what’s sure to be the most exciting launch of 2008. What would happen if you tried to be a super hero? What would happen when an ordinary man in a latex suit comes face-to-face with the criminal underworld? Read about super heroes like you’ve never seen them before and feel happy that you are living here right now when this book is being published. Your grandchildren will only envy you. Comics just don’t get better than this.

Opinion: Dave Lizewski got his ass kicked, but fear not brave reader he is back and this time……. he is in a hospital bed! HIs early battle in issue 1 left him in the hospital with a broken back and two broken legs. After having multiple surgeries and some serious self brooding he is ready for round two. Once again Millar has stuck to his realistic superhero approach….or has he? Jump on down for the rest of the review.

Storyline: Ongoing
Date: Feb 27, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Mark Millar
Artist: John Romita Jr.

Synopsis: From the writer of Civil War and the artist of World War Hulk comes the most screwed up superhero comic of all time. What would happen if you tried to be a superhero? What would happen when an ordinary man in a latex suit comes face to face with the criminal underworld? Read about superheroes like you’ve never seen them before and feel happy that you are living here right now when this book is being published. Your grandchildren will only envy you. Comics just don’t get better than this.

Opinion: “The greatest superhero book of all time is finally here!” says the front cover of KICK-ASS#1, and I am inclined to agree. This title is a fresh start to the superhero mythos and is refreshingly realistic. It is a fun read and made me want to don my boxers over my pants and change the world.

If you are a fan of gritty violence and gratuitous bloodshed then take the jump to the rest of the review.
