I really liked the movie Kick Ass. And at a recent comicon the comic came into my hand at a discounted price I couldn't say no to. Though it did and does smell like cigarettes.
So Kick Ass is fun. It's edgy just to be edgy it seems and it revels in the cussing and violence and sexual jokes. But Kick Ass is fun. Maybe sometimes that's all I need from a comic, or really all I needed from this comic. I'll say it was good enough for me to want to read the next one but not good enough for me to really get excited about it.
I really like the movie Kick Ass and I can say now without a doubt that the movie is better. Better structured, better paced, overall the movie really goes beyond the sex, violence, and geeky awkwardness of it all. The comic does not.
John Romita Jr does a good job here. It's not his Spider-Man run but it's not All Star Batman. It lies inbetween those two. But really it was nice to look at and it was drawn very cinemaesque which works for the story and Mark Millar's writing.
Basically I had fun but I don't think it'll leave a lasting impact on me other than the times I remarked how violent it was, or how excessive it got, or how much of a typical sad one dimensional character Dave was. But I had fun, if that's all you want here you'll get it.
It reminds me a bit of bad edgy comics from the 90's.
3 stars go watch the movie.
