Obviously, it’s early days into this story, but I did think it was a wise move from Millar. However, it did strike me that it never descended into hyperbolic violence, as maybe the last Issue of Book 1 did. Gore lovers will be pleased to know that John Romita Jr’s red ink is freely flowing again all over Issue 1 of Book 2. The tagline for Book 1 was “sickening violence: just the way you like it!” which tells us readers we’re not really looking at something Enid Blyton may have written. Inevitable puns over, it should be said that Kick-Ass is known for its extremes in the ways of language and violence with, perhaps, a focus more on the latter. But could Kick-Ass 2 do what Heroes season 2 failed to do? Or would it cave under pressure, and suffer from the dreaded second album syndrome? I’m happy to say that Book 2 doesn’t just deliver. The wonderful concept of every superhero geek’s fantasy coming true in such a brutally, grittily real way certainly has a lot more depth and areas to explore, providing Millar a lot of material to cover. Kick-Ass is back.Īfter hugely enjoying both the comics (which I read as the repackaged graphic novel) and this year’s film adaption, I had, and still have, high hopes for Book 2. There are some costumes made from lyrcra. Without giving too much away, this issue lays the foundations of what is going to come.
