Mark Millar is one of the most amazing writers comic book history and I think it’s great how he is recognised as that too. He has worked on some of the best Marvel comics story lines over the last few years such as Ultimate X-Men and also wrote one of the best Superman series this decade in The Red Son. The Red Son is easily one of my favourite comics and probably is to anyone who has read it.
Anyway back to Kick-Ass, at first I thought the movie was based on a comic but it looks like the comic is more of an adoption of the movie and comes to a finale with issue 8 on February 17th.
For some reason I am trying my best to stay away from the comic as I know this can’t be another “Wanted” comic incarnation. The Wanted movie was ok but if you read the comic first you were going to leave the cinema disappointed.
Luckily Kick-Ass is a creator owned property so hopefully it wont have all the legal crap movie franchises like Superman have holding them back.
The comic is based on pretty much a dream come true for any comic book fan. It has costumed vigilantism and a lot of violence from what I can gather. Also according to CBR the movie franchise could me a trilogy with the second entitled “Balls to the Wall”.
