Es bastante entretenido y sangriento... lástima el precio.
Really easy and fun to read.
Didn't expect the violence at all, but it's a big part of the story. Good art style and rythm.

Not only was this slightly different from the movie, but made me laugh and get so excited for the showdown at the end.
I wasn't really expecting the twist that Big Daddy had in fact lied about his whole agenda, mainly due to the fact that it isn't brought up or mentioned in the movie version. Whether it's cannon in the movies or not, I don't know and am not sure if the question of if it has, has been answered. Either way, anyone could tell that Big Daddy was slightly mentally ill (you'd have to be a little to let your 10 year old daughter kill people).
Although I shouldn't compare the movie and the comic book, I loved that movie when I was the same age as Hit Girl and so I have the whole movie memorised in my head. The movie has a lot more going for it, in terms of comedic humour, one-liners, and different approaches to fights (the fire scenes were different, the betrayal from Chris scene was different, Big Daddy dying believing his daughter was dead got to me big time, and the final showdowns of Kick Ass sitting in that chair and Hit Girl going rampage on everyone - not to mention actually returning to her mum that was still alive).
While I'll always love the movie more for all of its scenes in the movie (apart from the Katie parts), it's actor's, screen writing and atmosphere, I have to say I love this only a teensy bit less because it brought that movie to life. Kick Ass and Hit Girl are such huge parts of my childhood - and huge bonding experiences with my stepdad - so I'll always love the source material that gave me those memories and that amazing film.
Chris felt so completely different from his movie counterpart. While in the movie we see a lead up to Chris being more involved with his dad's work, Chris being a complete dumb ass who is still an utter child, and his identity is revealed to us a lot sooner, this is all the opposite in the comic book.
In the comic book, we're only shown one scene of exposition surrounding Chris and his dad's involvement with shady business before seeing Red Mist. Because of the fact that we can't see the same actor behind a mask or hear the same voice, it might of come as more of a shock to the people reading this before the movie that Red Mist was actually Chris. Although, maybe not considering its mentioned that he's the son of the mobster during the same scene of exposition so you'd know he was bound to make an appearance in someone.
Not just this though, but whereas Chris in the movie is just a stupid kid who believes he's ready for his dad's line of work, but is still in fact pretty chicken shit and lame in a funny way (seek out part when Red Mist and Kick Ass first meet in movie), Chris in the comic books is actually quite capable. It kind of unnerved me, because Chris as Red Most came off even in private moments with Kick Ass as cool. Another thing is the chicken shit part. Chris in the comic is scarily composed while hurting other's, even claiming that he's jerked off over the thought of Kick Ass being tortured, which is just... Lovely. Chris in the movie was even moved and looked shocked at himself after shooting at Hit Girl whereas in the comic he exclaims that seeing her shot through the window was awesome, genuinely excited over a 10 year old being dead. Chris in the movie is a kind of adorable wannabe mobster who can't do much right. Chris in the comics is a straight up psychopath.
Chris in the comics would be a great remorseless, ruthless antagonist to behold. But maybe for the next book.
The one thing that made me want to give this book 5 stars, and did in fact, was the return of something mentioned earlier - Dave's friends trying to make "tunk" a thing. What I loved was that it made a reappearance in the best way it could - from the mouth of a famous mobster while he's in the process of being killed, killed by a 10 year old in a Halloween costume. Not to mention that such a line strikes such great humour in an otherwise quite serious scene. Simply brilliant!
The art in this book is simply beautiful, especially with all the blood splattered across the page. The story is told well and sets up the following book with the infamous lines I love to hear spoken by Chris from the movie "wait till they get a load of me".

If you are interested in any of these things, then you will no doubt enjoy this comic:
Violence, gore, samurai swords, swear words, dark humor, and half naked hookers.

Things I liked about Kick-Ass:
- the gore
- Hit-Girl
- the art style
Things I disliked about Kick-Ass:
- the constant "oh let's use gay as a degrading term!!!"
- Dave (aka. the main character)
- Big Daddy
- the climax of the story (such a underwhelming conclusion and last "big fight)
In conclusion: the movie was better
- the gore
- Hit-Girl
- the art style

A pretty quick read. The book seems to be very fast-paced for my liking and even though it might be more realistic than the film I think the film had a bit more depth to it. The book seemed to want to get it all over with. The drawings were magnificent though and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I just had this constant nagging feeling of the film being a bit better. This is probably the only case where I'll put off reading a book so the film can be a surprise and I think I will wait until I read the second one.
