When you finally find a graphic novel as good as Scott Pilgrim :,) Kick-Ass will forever be one of my favourite movies of all time, seriously I love it (the second one not so much). Warning though, it does contain a lot of swearing a gory scenes but if I'm being honest those scenes are so much fun to read so don't be a pussy and read it!
If you find a good comic with great action and suspense, this is for you. It was a great comic which left me hanging for more. Even though it´s a comic, give it a chance, you might be surprised. It is a great book, and a comic I could not out down.
while I was moving forward my interest in the sotory had growing up. and finally I enjoyed the last volume most where the story becomes more realistic and human. I fond myself thinking about some misogynists quotes but then I realized that in the same comic was hit-girl the most amazing and never seen motherfuckest and never fails super hero and that moment i wought yeah, that was something realistic element, because the prejudices are real and this story seeks to be that. I love how the comic teams show their team work, I'am a manga reader too and I don't see that so often. I liked how there is not censored, I don't know if this story was made for adults or not, but I shure that mark Miller doesn't underestimates young people. it is a emotional roller coaster as the big pieces.
I didn't like this series of comics because there's action almost right of the bat. I like books where the action is in the middle of the book. The main guy character is just a geeky teenager in highschool trying to be somebody, to earn a name. There is external conflict here he's trying to balance, school and fighting crime. I recommend this to readers who like lots of action and adventure.
