Kick-Ass

I might be wrong, but I believe the movie deal was made before the first issue was even published, or closely after its release.

To touch on Millar and movie deals, his new series with Steve McNiven "Nemesis", had companies bidding for rights just based off of a teaser image. It shows that the Hollywood industry has seen that people like Millar are the perfect people to take from when it comes to comic book movie adaptations.

Well, for you guys who don't like nicholas cage I think you would be glad to know if you don't already that he isn't the lead or even a main focus as far as I have read. But I have to say I did see a scene where he shoots his daughter in the chest with a .45 and it was pretty kick ass.

anyine read #8? more millar "everyone talks like an asshole dialogue", more awesomely violent jrjr art meh-ly inked by palmer (why wasnt janson on this or scott hanna?) and a typical "to be continued" ending with the last page saying END OF BOOK 1.

oh and an interesting article about Millar's racism in comics (which i noticed before but thought it was just me)

It kinda came out, so I just left it.

I read #8 and thought it was a decent ending to a good story. I really didn't like the whole montage wrap-up. I've read online that the red villain at the end is Red-Mist, but the costume is different. Anyone know if it's actually Red Mist or someone new?

So whatta you guys think of the movie? Have some of you already seen it?
I have, really fresh approach, i am not comparing it to the comics, just like it is onscreen.

I just finished reading the book after having loved the movie.

It's obviously difficult to approach the book freshly after having seen the movie, as certain things are in your head already.

Firstly, I utterly loved the movie. Thought it was very funny, very slick and hugely entertaining. I already posted in the 'Break Room' my love (whoa, not that kind) for Hit-Girl and Moretz's performance.

The book was really enjoyable and was a very simple idea done quite well. The idea was so simple it is amazing it hadn't really been done before. (I remember once having an idea about a shit superhero (some lonely kid with no powers, but he only has one go at doing something)!).

The comic book is what I would think of as disposable fun. I enjoyed it very much first time around but I wouldn't feel the need to revisit it again in the future the way I do most books I read.

Whereas the movie will be one of my first ever Blue-Ray purchases.

Maybe I don't know enough about him (I read very little Marvel superhero stuff), but I don't quite get the Millar hate out there.

He also wrote my fav ever short story (Nightmare on Seasame Street IIRC, a short in 2000AD).
