One of the coolest and ultra-violent comic books on the shelves these days is Kick-Ass, written by Mark Millar with art by John Romita, Jr.
It’s about a 15-year-old comic book fan who just decides one day to become the world’s first real-life superhero/crime fighter. The main character doesn’t have any special powers, just a homemade costume and lots of enthusiasm.
If only that was enough.
With just three issues of the series released, the story is being made into a movie with the help of director Matthew Vaughn.
