NEW STORY ARC
Kick-Ass has wiped out Hoops Lucero and seized control of his criminal operations, but Violencia's set to bust out of jail and get his bloody revenge on our favorite superhero.
Overall, I thought this was a killer introduction to the new arc. Steve Niles and Marcelo Frusin are a great team, and I love the direction that they are taking the story. I can see a lot of exciting things on the horizon for Patience, and I'm looking forward to when the next issue comes out. Read Full Review
Kick-Ass #7 keeps one of Image's most consistent titles rolling strong. Under Niles and Frusin, the book is in excellent hands. Read Full Review
Steve Niles does a pretty decent job of taking over writing duties from Millar and gives us the beginnings of a new story in which Patience is still trying to juggle things with regards to her double life as a working mum by day and vigilante crime fighter by night. Read Full Review
Do writer Steve Niles & artist Marcelo Frusin kick-ass as the new creative team in KICK-ASS #7? Yes, they do. Read Full Review
As expected, the artwork takes a bit of a step down compared to the Lawds work put in by Romita Jr. Luckily, Frusin brings a certain level of grit and grime to the table that helps you appreciate this Pablo Escobar-ish side of the story. We're building toward a big showdown between Kick-Ass and the soon-to-be-released prison prom king, Violencia. Enjoy the carnage until then. Read Full Review
All of the Kick-Ass charm is lost. Patience is now basically a less financially responsible Punisher. Does her gang still run a gang business, or does it just murder and rob rivals now?
