Kick-Ass The Movie April 2010
Have you ever felt the urge to make a difference? To do something profound, something more than what is the sum of who you are as a person? Have you ever wanted to be a superhero; helping others, stopping crime, and maybe … kick some ass in the process?
KickAss Comic #1
In a world where Spider-man, Batman and Superman exist only in comics, Kick-Ass brings you Dave Lizewski, an average kid with no powers, much less super powers, and no professional training in anything necessary to fight crime, who decides to put on a green and yellow mask and become … a superhero. Dave learns very quickly that being a superhero isn’t as easy as it is in comic books.
KICK-ASS, the comic book, is a realistic take on superheroes, but without the “super.” Dave Lizewski is just such a guy. He’s the stereotypical high school kid, lacking self esteem and confidence, afraid to talk to girls and using video games and comic books as an escape from reality. In the process of escaping into comics he becomes obsessed with the thought of becoming a real live superhero and eventually dons a costume. All he needs now is a cool name.
Kick-Ass Comic #2
The first few weeks were spent prowling around rooftops, working up the nerve to get involved and stop a crime when the time is right, acclimating to his newly made costume, secretly enjoying wearing it under his “civilian” clothes, like Peter Parker, Clark Kent and even Bruce Wayne.
In the process of finding himself, Dave spots some teenage taggers on the street. Our soon to be hero works up the courage to get involved and jumps in to stop these hoods from spray painting the neighborhood. It goes bad for Dave as he gets stabbed and then hit by a car while stumbling home, suffering a crushed spine and two broken legs.
Kick-Ass Comic #3
Such is the life of a Superhero-wannabe in the first Kick-Ass comic that hit the streets way back in 2008. Now it’s a movie that’s hitting theaters in April 2010.
The first vid below is a montage of the comic itself. Very cool to see John Romita Jr. (who I’m not a real big fan of, but whatevah) and Mark Millar do their magic. The others are trailers for the movie and a link to the official movie site.
We’re still trying to get the Kick Ass t-shirts at the moment.
Enjoy.
