    Kick-Ass

    Character » Kick-Ass appears in 69 issues.

    Dave Lizewski was an average high school student, who's dream was becoming a hero. Dissatisfied with his underwhelming life, he created an improvised superhero suit and armed himself with a pair of batons. As time went by, he became known as the "greatest superhero of all time", Kick Ass.

    Huh, an age gate? Is that new or have I just never stumbled upon it before?
     
    I like that cover art. I'm surprised to discover that this is just the end of book one.

    @FoxxFireArt: I think the only other time I put an age gate was for Herogasm #1.  I figured since pretty much all of the panels I showed had swearing and major violence.  Plus it's kinda funny.  There'll be another story but they're gonna get a head start.  They're planning for it at the end of summer.  I posted about it here:

    @G-Man: 
    It's the responsible thing to do if you feel the content may not be appropriate for all audiences. I always find it ridiculous how people are quick to censor nudity, but for some reason violence is alright.
     
    That title you mentioned sort of reminds me of all the subtitles they add to the Ratchet and Clank games.
    Size Matters / Up Your Arsenal / Going Commando / A Crack in Time / A Quest for Booty

    Judging from what we saw in this review. It will be 'fried' balls to the wall. David may never have kids now.

    I understand the mix up when you consider the movie Red Mist is stealing Red L.A.M.P.'s thunder. There is some serious irony there when you consider how Red Mist was stealing Kick-Ass' credit.

    I have always, always found the Kick Ass comics ridiculous, and fails miserably on trying to be realistic.

    @JackAs: I don't know, there's that kid that lives down the street form me.  He always dresses up on Tuesdays and Fridays and walks around the neighborhood.  I do have to say that there hasn't been any criminal activity since I've noticed him doing it.  Then again, I don't think there really was before he started doing it either.

    You can get notified for when it comes out on Amazon... but I can only find a hardcover there. They also have the back issues there for waaay too much money (between 18 and 35$ an issue!). 
     
    As far as issue 8 is concerned, I thought it was great and worth the wait and really got my excited for the movie. Although I highly doubt it'll be anything related to the comics (they probably have a lot of screen time for Big Daddy (I figure they wouldn't get Nicolas Cage if it wasn't a big role...) I liked the little movie trailer reference issue 8 did.

    Though I am not a fan of  John Romita jr. just not what I like to see, but I love the fact that he has got his own style, and I respect the hell out of him. As far as Kick Ass Goes, it is so kick ass, the story and the violence. Blows me away!
