Marvel News - Kicking Ass Again

-
I sat down yesterday and read issue one of Kick Ass 2 by Mr Mark Millar and John "The Tank" Romita Jr. I honestly don't know how Millar is doing it. He is really in the zone at the moment, with Kick Ass 2, Nemesis and Superior off and running it's quite obvious that the Millarworld brutality has hit overdrive.



As would be expected Kick Ass 2 has sold out and is going back to print with a 2nd and 3rd printing. Millar is a great writer, no doubt about that. I have honestly loved a great deal of his Marvel work but you just cannot compare any of that to what he is doing right now. His creator owned titles positively ooze with the love and passion of a proud, if not manic, father. From reading his books you would expect Mr Millar to be an angry, violent Scotsman (is there any other type?), but by all accounts he is a very approachable and friendly chap.

OFFICIAL MARVEL PRESS RELEASE:

"After a blockbuster debut, Kick Ass 2 #1 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at the retail level) and will be going back to press -- twice -- with the Kick Ass 2 #1 Second and Kick Ass 2 #1 Third Printing Variants!  The megastar creative team of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. continue the underground comic sensation of the decade! As teenage high schooler Dave Lizewski, aka Kick-Ass, gets a crash-course in super-heroics from Hit-Girl, has his dreams of a world of superheroes come true or will it all turn to nightmares?

Fan’s and critics agree, they can’t get enough Kick Ass 2!

"Kick Ass 2 positively reeks of exploitation and action. Most of the guys that read comics...wish there was cologne that they could buy so they could reek the same way." – Chris Smits, Mania.com

"Kick Ass 2 #1 looks gorgeous..." – Chris Murphy, ComicsAlliance.com

"As is typically the case with a Millar-penned comic...the writer's enthusiasm definitely bleeds through and becomes contagious." – Dan Phillips, IGN.com

“If you liked the last series, then there’s no doubt about it: get in line for this one too.” – James Hunt, ComicBookResources.com

Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t j...

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
