Weekly Comic Review: Kick-Ass: Book One

[Relaxing Dragon]

I was pretty against the movie (never read the comic) as soon as I learned that Mark Miller was in some way related to it. My only experience with the man's work had been Wanted, both the comic (decent art but awful otherwise) and the movie (currently my most hated film).

But then I saw a trailer or two for Kick-Ass, and it actually looked pretty good. Seems like it'll have some awesome action sequences (the harder R the better says I, so if they incorporate as much of the I-keep-hearing-about-it violence from the books I'll be a happy camper) and some good humor.

Plus, I'm a Nicholas Cage fan (yes, there's still a few of us left), and entirely encourage any role with him.

...alright, most roles. Even we have standards.
