Kick-Ass: The Dave Lizewski Years Book One (Kick-Ass, 1)

Product Information

Meanwhile, Millar was invited to enter the regular Marvel Universe to take a stab at two of its most iconic characters: Spider-Man and Wolverine. So, while I dont know if I would recommend it, I predict that it will cause much hand-wringing (and high sales).

The hope was that a new publisher and a new protagonist might help the new Kick-Ass succeed where the original struggled. Next up was The Ultimates, a new rendering of the Avengers that was to continue building on the success of the Ultimate line. Inker/colorist Peter Steigerwald does help add a darker, harsher coat to Romita's work, but that doesn't do much to make the blocky figures seem more grounded in reality.

Kick-Ass has always been a book that pushed the envelop of what a comic book can do and I am expecting no less from this story. The initial pages showing Patience’s last tour in Afghanistan are intense, with helicopter and car chases mixed with gunfight: it moves forward at an incredible pace and readers will want to revisit those moments to capture all the details on a second reading.

The concern is not for her own physical safety, but on her choices and on the dangers she will potentially put her family through. Patience to an extent is a greater fulfillment on the promise of the series than Dave ever was, a protagonist with heart and a fierceness that's easy to root for. In my own case, I now have a bunch of Kick-Ass trades to dive into and learn more about this universe.Millar’s best scripts have always juggled that balance, following pages of characters development and motivation with the ultimate, violent realization of those drivers.
