Kick Ass Archives

(UPDATE: Now with sourced visuals) We ran an article about this on Bleeding Cool this morning. But now Mark Millar has gone official on how he sees all

The final issue of Kick Ass is out today, Kick Ass 3 #8 by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. Who lives, who dies, that's for you to read But the boys do something interesting that will enrage and delight readers, depending See, there are some that see Millar as just making comics to be turned[...]

And Kick-Ass ended…well pretty damn kick ass I don't spoil anything, but I felt I needed to say it wasn't a let down in any way. Dynamite and Milligan's Terminal Hero #1 is full of hookers and blow, truly creators unleashed Alan Moore writes and stars in the new God Is Dead as the High Priest[...]

Mark Millar has news for us on the very, very, end of Kick Ass Forever Until we get a Justice Forever spinoff, of course As the final pages from John Romita Jr make their way through to him… Woke up, made a cup of tea, switched on the computer and a big email from Johnny with the final[...]

We mentioned Mark Millar had a mangaesque Millarworld project on the books that he was looking for artists for. But there's more to come. Millar writes,

But I may run it later… From My Little Pony Friends Forever #4 – are Flugels anything like Flerkens? Kick Ass 3 #7 shows us its real roots, in Batman '66 Admittedly they are very disguised, dyed and burnt roots, but still…   Don;t go on a date with Iron Fist Ever Lesson learned. The Superior Foes Of Spider-Man[...]

At SXSW, it was announced that Marvel would film a series of short documentaries under the label Tales To Astonish, focused on Marvel comic books. And the

There's always been a problem at the heart of the Kick Ass comic and film, in that its meant to show a real life superhero movement, without powers, without major technical advances, just people doing what people actually can do, dressed up in stupid clothes And, when it comes down to it, behaving rather heroically. But[...]

From Mark Millar's Image Comics interview, talking about nine of ten new Millarworld titles planned over the next three years, he mentions three artists.

He starred in two Ghost Rider films and in Kick Ass Over the years he has been linked with comic book movie after comic book movie after comic book movie, including the role of Superman under Tim Burton He liked comics, we all knew this. But not too long ago, his copy of Action Comics #1[...]

Filmed at San Diego Comic Con. Look at the smiles on their faces... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_02lenttwQ

I mean exactly how do you follow that up? Well, possibly until today's issue of Kick Ass #3 Where we get… Yeah, that should do it. Sandman Overture and Guardians Of The Galaxy are published today Watch TV in the UK is about to start airing Babylon 5 in its entirety, including the feature length specials, every[...]

If you know the name, you know he's Kick Ass' secret identity You might also know he's the guy who paid Mark Millar a few thousand dollars on eBay for charity in order to give his name to Kick Ass. Well, now he seems to be fighting his own battles. Such as on Kickstarter, looking at two[...]

  It may have underperformed expectations at the box office.  But it seems even Spider-Man wants in on the action. From the comic strip by brothers

Instead, the magazine is filled with previews of upcoming Titan Comics publications, interviews with their creators and a feature on the Kick Ass 2 movie. But we also find out what will happen to people with outstanding CLiNT subscriptions And, because for a time, Titan took monthly subscriptions, even though the magazine seemed to come out[...]

Matthew Vaughn is listed as producer for this one and while I'm sure I saw Jane Goldman's name whizz by listed as something like executive producer I couldn't confirm that on IMDB at the time of writing. And they are missed. Kick Ass 2 lacks Vaughn's flair, and it particularly misses Goldman's playful, subversive way with dialogue[...]

In today's Kick Ass 3 #2, our hero Dave Lizewski has a plan And it's one inspired by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli's Batman: Year One He's a bit like Scott Snyder in that respect. How literally? Well here's the scene… And this is how it plays out in Kick Ass' head. Man, I really think Frank Miller[...]

Initially, from a couple of corroborating reports on the show floor of San Diego Comic Con yesterday… and then all over the bars last night, where no less than eight people took me aside to tell me this top secret news that only they knew… John Romita Jr, son of the legendary Marvel artist John Romita[...]

And Jupiter's Legacy did better than Kick Ass 3 DC dominates the top of the chart, but you can see how Marvel takes more marketshare with 21 of the top 30. Walking Dead is now a regular top twenty book And, for another month, Aspen have launched another non-Premier title into the Top 100 with Bubblegun[...]

Naming a major hero in Kick Ass 3 raised over $2000 towards and naming Kick Ass' superhero rival raised over $700 for children's charities with over 30 bids for each. It is a marked slump on previous promotions, Kick Ass raised a four figure sum and made Deve Lizewski famous, $5,000 from Superior and $8,500 from[...]

I rather enjoyed the first Kick Ass series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr from Marvel The second… not as much Nor the Hit Girl spinoff But Kick Ass 3? Is it Iron Man 3 or is it Godfather Part III? It all comes down to one page. The first series contrasted the mundane with attempts[...]

And on Facebook, some have been wondering if they've been paying quarterly on direct debit for said subcription while the magazine hasn't been published, without response. The Kick Ass 2 movie is scheduled for the end of June, but it currently doesn't look like there will be any CLiNT out around then to benefit from it[...]

I am continuing to blame Kick Ass. Ex-military policeman Matthew Argintar, 23 from New Jersey, is a Real Life Super Hero Dressed in a Batman-like face mask, a cape, arm pads and a bulletproof vest And also a pair of handcuffs Outside a Home Depot, he began asking people if there was anything they needed help[...]

Apparently Kick Ass, in his secret identity, writes for Comic Book Resources About the history of superheroes and Vertigo's paper stock… So basically David Lizewski is Augie De Blieck I'm not sure why DC Entertainment bothers to put Vertigo Comics on paper I'm sure it's due to relatively low sales that they have to print them[...]

This is what we said back then. "The titular pair are two leg breaking enforcers in nineteen-seventies New York… who aren't what they seem." And this was our logo mash up as well… Well, the back of the Kick Ass 2 hardcover indicates we may be getting it next year. UPDATE: It's a typo in the hardcover ad[...]

There were about twenty people at the Heroes For Jordan press conference for John Romita Jr's attempt on his own Guinness World Record for continual

The attempt will start on Friday, May the 4th, at the[...]

I understand that certain stores in the UK have received CLiNT Magazine #15 three weeks a week earlier than intended – including part of the final chapter of Kick Ass 2, before the final issue is published by Marvel next week. It also has a special Supercrooks "prelude" that won't appear in the Marvel version It's[...]

Anyone reading Kick Ass 2 this past couple of issues could probably see that this could be an issue City Attorney Pete Holmes doesn't see at quite so clearly, saying; "Mr Fodor is no hero, just a deeply misguided individual He has been warned [...]
