story,
The greatest super hero comic of all-time is finally here. WOLVERINE: ENEMY OF THE STATE's team of MARK MILLAR (CIVIL WAR) and JOHN ROMITA JR. (WORLD WAR HULK) reunite for the best new book of the 21st century. Have you ever wanted to be a super hero? Dreamed of donning a mask and just heading outside to some kick-ass? Well, this is the book for you--the comic that starts where other super hero books draw the line. KICK-ASS is realistic super heroes taken to the next level. Miss out and you're an idiot!

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

I haven’t read Mark Millar and John Romita Jr’s new collaboration KICK-ASS, but that title rocks, and it sounds like the book is a lot of twisted fucked-up Millar-style fun.






And now, if my sources are correct, it looks like Matthew Vaughn (LAYER CAKE, STARDUST) is going to be writing and directing the film version. He’s evidently holed up with Jane Goldman (his writing partner on STARDUST) right now and working hard to get the script right. Considering Millar’s only got the first two issues out at this point, this may turn out to be a case like Edgar Wright and SCOTT PILGRIM, where Vaughn is working directly with Millar, already privy to where the series is headed.

I’m going to do some more digging on this one, and when I take Toshi on a comic run this week, I’ll pick up issue one of this so I can see for myself what Vaughn’s getting himself into. Right now, it looks like we’ll see this before we see THOR, especially if WANTED connects with audiences the way I think it will this summer


if you like THE BOYS or WANTED you`ll love this.

The release of the second issue has given me enough material to create a fan trailer over a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I listened to a Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. Fanboy Radio interview yesterday and they dropped some tidbits about the movie.

Matthew Vaughn is directing, nothing new there.

The script, as of maybe a week ago, was within 10 pages of being complete. I guess they are being very loyal to the source material, almost page for page with some scenes more fleshed out, taking a cue from Sin City and 300.

They have already cast the movie, according to Millar. They wouldn't say who but both MM and JRJR said their inspiration for the look of the main character was Napoleon Dynamite aka Jon Heder...

Before I rant about how Heder would be a freaking horrible choice, I'll give Vaughn and everyone involved the benefit of the doubt and assume they realize this as well and will cast someone else.

Anyways, I am really looking forward to this. The comic rocks.

Talk about jumping the gun.

I like how everyone considerd it a classic before the first issue hit the stands.
