>You just got your ass kicked...
Time for the fourth annual K-A storytime.
Can you believe it has been that much time?
Let's go all the way back to the first adventure.
When a young idiot put on a wet suit to fight crime.
This is-
Kick-Ass Book One: The Origin of Kick-Ass
And here we go...
I usually subject this as a storytime of pain, but I figure y'all know that
...
...
Goddamn
Enter Kick-Ass, in his natural element.
...
So does Mark Millar actually loathe people who enjoy superheroes? It feels like this whole book is one big "fuck you" to everyone who's ever wanted to be Spider-Man or whoever.

Nah, Millar himself enjoys superheroes.
This is Millar sorta going that "everyone who would take it to this extreme needs to grow up"
Seriously, Kick-Ass and everyone in this book is some form of psycho.
Which I think some people miss.

...
can't believe I ever liked this at one point in time.
Something about Millar's comics from this point on do nothing for me. They're glorified movie storyboards
You look like a dick, dude.
I used to like it as some sort of really kinda wry heroic thing.
Now I enjoy it because it's clearly about really flawed messed up people using violence as their outlet.

Not the best first outing...
...
...
...
...
I still call bullshit on what he says next.
...
...
...
...
...
Even his own subconscious hates him
Millar loves superheroes arguably more than anyone not named Liefeld
...
Aye, Kick-Ass...while not good, isn't railing on superheroes - or even comic fans.
Not at all.
Kick-Ass isn't meant to be an average comic reader, or the reader of this...
He's meant to be a goddamn moronic psycho.

Luckily YouTube is still around to not horribly date this.
I guess they kinda did, but they'd been starting it for years before Kick-Ass arrived.

You totally stole that name from the guy who recorded that vid, dude.

Oh, hey, Hit-Girl.
...
...
...
Time for these two weirdos.

While the film is arguably more entertaining, the comic always seemed more interesting and honest. The movie only comes across as superficially better. I think the perfect adaptation is somewhere in between the comic and the actual film.
...
I will always say the movie was a better movie for general audiences...but yeah it's pretty superficial and makes everything too wacky in lieu of that.
I think if they had cut the Hit-Girl subplot from the second movie, they'd be closer to the mark.
...
...
...
...
Oh Kick-Ass...you shmuck.

Enter: Red Mist
What I hated about the movie was how they went completely 180 on the whole pretend gay thing.
That minigun mounted pseudo jetpack out of fucking nowhere didn't help either.
