Romita Jr. delivers a solid car chase, but that's a difficult compliment to offer given the sadistic and purposeless bent of the rest of this issue. Read Full Review
What kind of lunatic fills a room full of hydrogen party balloons? I did enjoy the action, JRjr excels with this kind of issue.
This was a good issue. Lots of action and tension, and a clever plot point referring to last issue to save Kick-Ass's...well. But I found JRJR's characters look a lot a like, confusing me a bit in the midst of the action.
