), and wound up writing the book for 5 years, all of which are now collected in Trades. I found that interesting, since those were the strongest issues in his run. In his defense, the book would have been better if all the issues has art of the caliber as what John Romita Jr (Amazing Spiderman, Kick-Ass) produced for that early arc. anyways, hope you enjoy the interview, and stay tuned for more Black Panther news later on!
, the adaptation of the ultra-violent action comic of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. It will debut at SXSW in Austin in March with wide release in the middle of April. read more about Kick-Ass here (or just buy the graphic novel on Amazon, at your local comicshop or book store).
will be debuting at SXSW (read 'South By Southwest') in Austin this March a full month before the nationwide release April 16th. If the budget permits, maybe i will attend this year... (in case you missed it, peep the redband NSFW trailer here)
about the adaptation of the hilariously ultra-violent comic Kick-Ass. Like the book itself, the cover combines photography of the stars in character along with art by series visual Ass-Kicker JR, Jr.
features script extracts, commentary from Mark Millar, eye-popping art by JRJr from the original comics and hundreds of movie photos. It's scheduled to drop in February, but you can save 33% ($6 and change) by preordering it on Amazon.com. Read more and peep some movie trailers and photos here.
, the comic by Mark Millar & John Romita Jr that asks what it would be like if a normal dude became addicted to roaming the streets as a masked vigilante. I think once non-comics readers get a look at this ultra-violent redband trailer featuring the foul-mouthed little sidekick Hit-Girl, the world will catch on fire for this movie as well. so anyways, put the kids to bed or wait till your boss goes to lunch and watch this trailer. Kick-Ass is scheduled to hit theaters in April of 2010. if you can't wait until then to get more of this high octane goodness, cop the trade paperback here.
for some reason, the modern comic book has been running around in circles trying to make superhero comics more "realistic" for decades. and while i would argue that it has resulted in some pretty stupid comics, every now and then something truly awesome arrives on the scene. enter comics giants Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's straight-faced action comic, the aptly entitled Kick-Ass, the laugh-out-loud story of Dave, an extremely regular kid who becomes addicted to doling out ultra-violent, costumed vigilante justice.
the funniest thing about Kick-Ass is that it became so popular, so fast that the movie adaptation (did i mention they're making it a movie? oh... they are.) may come out before the book story it adapts is finished! isn't life something...
