Kick-Ass 2 Prelude: Hit-Girl by Mark Millar
2.0
I'll continue reading and I'll be lying if I said I didn't find this somewhat entertaining but... what's the point? Not that art needs to be about making points exclusively, but why is Mark Millar writing about a little girl committing massacres day in and day out?
There wasn't much tension because the gangsters are clearly not an imposing obstacle for Hit-Girl. The cop dad is a problem until he isn't for 90% of the time, he literally just allowed her kid to go Johnny Rambo on crime which helps who?
Seriously though, what's Millar's opinion on vigilantism? The more I read the comic book, the more it's just...pushed back? I guess he doesn't have to say anything about it, but this is becoming something of a pattern: Millar has an outrageous idea that blends well with different ideological and ideal sensibilities... then completely ignores those. It happened with Red Son and it's happening here again.
He baits his audience into believing something better is coming. It won't. I guess that as long as that doesn't bother you, it should be fine though...
