Kick-Ass Working for Joe Biden, And More Mark Millar Big Game Deaths

Big Game is the new comic book series owned by Netflix, written by Mark Millar, drawn by Pepe Larraz and published by Image Comics.

Big Game is the new comic book series owned by Netflix, written by Mark Millar, drawn by Pepe Larraz and published by Image Comics. In which Mark Millar is mashing up all his Millarworld comic books – even Sharkey – but not War Heroes or The Unfunnies, it seems. And we get to revisit Dave Lizewski, Kick-Ass, now in his thirties. Working in a comic book shop – what is left of it. You may see something of Mark Millar's own perspectives in this…

But now Kick Ass is up and working for President Joe Biden. You know, whether or not President Joe Biden wants him to, or not. In the first issue, Mark Millar and Pepe Larraz killed off a bunch of characters analogous to other comic book publishers like Marvel and DC. Then in the second issue, he did it to his own.

So first, we lose Superior, better known as  Simon Pooni, turned into flowers while sitting in his wheelchair. That's how I want to go. While the teenage vampire superheroes of Night Club die in, well, basically the exact same way as when Mark Millar wrote Vampirella a couple of decades previously for Harris Comics. In that case, it was the rain in the storm clouds that was blessed, turning it into holy water. In this case…

…it's the waters below. That's not how I want to go. But the last time, Bleeding Cool ran an article about the deaths of characters in Big Game, we had a headline. "The Mark Millar Characters He Killed Off – But Not Eggsy or Hit-Girl." Well, as ever with Mark Millar, we missed off the word "Yet" from the end.

That's right folks, Mark Millar and Pepe Larraz have just killed off Eggsy from Kingsmen. But not Hit-Girl. Not yet. Big Game #3 is published tomorrow from Image Comics.
