Another good installment of the second Kick-Ass story. Even through all the slicing and dicing, blood and guts there are actually some smaller points that Millar is making about the true nature of heroism. He's not being very subtle about it, but it is effective nonetheless. The big finale in the next issue should be fun. Read Full Review
Kick-Ass 2 is going to end with a huge brawl and there is going to be plenty of death and plenty of shockers. This is not that issue. This issue is your average Mark Millar comic book unfortunately, but that is still better than many, many others. Read Full Review
Romita should just retire before he becomes a farce like other great comic book artists of the past. It used to mean something to have john Romita Jr. draw a comic book.
