james_desantis 's review for:
Kick-Ass: The New Girl, Book One
by Mark Millar
So funny enough I read this the same day Mark Millar blocked me on twitter (Funny story too if want to hear about it!)
So Mark Millar decided to take the name Kick-ass and recreate a new superhero story. It has really nothing to do with the old characters. In fact the story has very little resemblance to the last few kick-ass stories. This is a darker tale than before, which can be hard to believe. Less on humor and more on action and drama.
Patience is going around kicking the shit out of bad guys and stealing their money. She's actually ex-military so she has some badass fighting moves. It kind of takes away from the "everyday person fighting crime" she's basically a spy/agent in a superhero suit. We've seen that million times. Also, the ending is really far-fetched and very breaking bad without the build up.
Overall though, it wasn't bad. Art is solid enough, the fights are entertaining, some funny lines once in awhile, and decent family drama. It's over the top and not as good as the original though. A 3 out of 5.
