Have you ever wanted to be a super hero? That's exactly what Dave Lizewski wants to be in this first issue from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.

As the title implied, I prepared myself for lots of ass kicking and I wasn't let down. From the opening panels, the action hooked me and the story was entertaining right thru the final page. Mark Millar has really set this book up to be a great original series.

The only thing that bothered me was the art by Romita. It really didn't seem to fit the story. It reminded me of the art on the recent "Eternals" series and I wasn't too crazy about that either. His characters just looked somewhat off and it distracted me from the story. Don't get me wrong. It was nice looking work, especially the action sequences, but I just don't think the art matches the tone of the story. It would have been better with a more realistic style, IMHO.

Either way, I loved the issue overall and I am excited to check out the next issue. #woohoo#

I, for one, loved the issue and I will keep on getting the book. It has just went to second print, I don't think an Icon book ever went to 2nd print before.

The first printing sold out at my LCS before I could pick one up, but I got the 2nd print yesterday and loved it. Can't wait for the next issue.

I was so excited for issue #2 only to find that my store did not order any copies at all! :(

There are a few of them on eBay still.

Kick Ass #1 (http://search.ebay.com/kick-ass-1_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQdfspZ32QQfasiZ1QQfbfmtZ1QQfromZ R40QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ34QQsabfmtsZ2QQsascsZ2QQsatitleZ kickQ20assQ20Q231QQsbrbinZtQQsbrsrtZd)...it looks like the 2nd prints are the cheaper ones.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a first issue as much as I did this one.

One of the easiest adds to my pull list in quite some time.
