Patience is sucked deeper into the criminal underworld. Faced with a new horde of enemies, she must fight to keep her superhero activity and her identity safe. But what happens when the bad guys work out who's wearing the mask? The violence cuts way too close to home in the latest installment of MARK MILLAR and JOHN ROMITA JR.'s incredible KICK-ASS series, with a connecting HIT-GIRL #5 cover from ÖZGÜR YILDIRIM.
Issue #5 of Kick-Ass really takes a turn in pace and direction. Things slow down a bit, but Romita Jr. picks up the slack by delivering some top-notch artwork. The ending leaves our hero in the most dire situation she's encountered thus far. This next book is the final one of Millar and Romita's run, so you know we're about to see Patience Lee exhibit some of the most savage tactics she has up her sleeve. Read Full Review
If being boring wasn't enough, the issue also reminds us that the new series central antagonist is a man named Hoops whose sole character attribute is liking basketball; that's insulting. Read Full Review
I liked this issue. Tense and interesting throughout. I thought this Solo dude made an interesting nemesis. He's kind of a cliche, but it's well played. JRJR's pencils were strong. Nothing too deep going on here, but a fun read.
Ends on quite the cliffhanger. JRjr needs to learn how to draw tears, it looks like her eyes are have foam in them.
