VERY FINE/NEAR MINT Written by MARK MILLAR
Pencils & Cover by JOHN ROMITA JR.
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.
REVIEW by Brian Fisher
Is it just me or is the character of Dave Lizewski quickly becoming totally unlikable? While his super-hero persona, Kick Ass is getting network news recognition and thousands of YouTube hits, Dave is starting to become a cocky little punk. But, honestly if the main character wasn't a little off-putting it really wouldn't be a Mark Millar book, now would it. But quite honestly this is the most realistic look at a completely unrealistic scenario ever put in comic form. This is a real kid in the real world attempting to be a real super-hero, and failing miserably at it. And when I say miserably it's no exageration. This kid gets the ever-living snot beat out of him every time he goes out as Kick Ass, and yet keeps going out night after night. Why, beacuse he's doing the right thing? No, because he addicted to the rush. And that's what makes this book so unique and so darn good.
