Kick-Ass and Hit Girl take the Genovese Gang in the Brutal Finale
Mark Millar's Kick-Ass has easily proven to be the hottest new property in comics and every issue is a simple, yet sadistically fun reminder. This issue ends the first story arc, picking up with the title character as well as the recently orphaned Hit Girl getting ready to take revenge on the Genovese Gang for the murder of Big Daddy and the duo's own betrayal at the hands of former crime fighter, The Red Mist. There's a little calm before the storm as both sides prepare for war,but from there, its all carnage, accented by the JRJR's wonderful art and Millar's fantastic dialogue. Can't wait to see that translated to the big screen. You'll jump for joy as our two heroes punch, kick, stab, impale, castrate, annihilate, and incinerate Genovese's men. Which reminds me: I need a copy of No More Heroes 2. Actually, so do you. If this book appeals to you, there's no reason you wouldn't like that game. The showdown between Red Mist and Kick Ass is quite memorable and both Kick-Ass and Hit Girl's final acts of revenge against John Genovese were especially gruesome. Maybe Millar and Romita should institutionalized. They're having way too much fun with this.
The story concludes with a satisfying new beginning for our heroes, well other than Dave's hopeless love life. I loved the final page and all in all, this was a fitting conclusion to this run. Now we'll just have to wait for the next issue, the movie, and the TPB for the posers who jumped on the bandwagon after seeing the movie trailer. Just kidding, I'll buy one too.
This is definitely a must buy for mature readers
