If it's crap... We'll tell you

Kick-Ass

This comic is incredible, there has been, what, 5 issues? and they're already making a movie! IMDB says that the movie version has Nicholas Cage in it, though.

anyway, the comic. basically, it's about real life super heroes. let me quote wikipedia here;
Dave Lizewski, an otherwise ordinary New York City high school student and the child of Greg Willer, loving single father, takes his interest in comic books as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. He assembles a suit and mask, which he wears under his normal clothing, begins exercising, and practices things like walking on roofs, sating his ambitions for a time.

marketing for the comic/movie is in my opinion amazing, they have made one scene from a comic to a youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8byYFdSBfA

anyone else here like Kick-Ass?

It just comes across and juvenile the dialogue is horrible and it takes way too long to come out. The first few issues were just the main character getting the crap beaten out of him, him getting healed, then getting his ass kicked again. It failed to hold my interest and the long delays didn't help.

What do you like about it, you basically just said it was awesome and never said why.; ▶ Reply to This

That's just my opinion, you don't have to like it.; ▶ Reply to This
