review 1: Continuación lógica y muuuuuuuy bestia de Kick-Ass. Mark Millar vuelve a hacer de las suyas con su característico (y negrísimo) sentido del humor. Mucha sangre, hostias como panes y unos villanos pasadísimos de rosca. Si te gusta que los heroes no sean dioses Kick-Ass no es una o...

review 1: In this prelude to Kickass 2, Mark Millar is brilliant as ever, a lot of amazing dialogues and wittily written protagonists. So it is clever, funny and edgy. But good luck with recognizing the protagonist: John Romita draws her sort of bulky, with the massive head and stunted lim...

review 1: Pretty good comic. Somehow, I don't think it is groundbreaking or anything like that, but without a doubt, it's pretty good.I think I like the movie version of Big Daddy much more than the comic book one. I also think that the movie did a pretty good job of capturing the essence ...

review 1: Millar, despite being Scottish, is part of a second-wave British Invasion comic book writers. While most American writers would tend to write comic books as straight superhero and traditional comic book fair (not that it's a bad thing, it varies from person to person), British (a...

review 1: Wow! The best comic I've read in years, and among my favorites of all-time. A perfectly constructed story of the "real" world infiltrated by the comic-book world. With equal parts action, nostalgia, horror and hope, Millar creates a story that is fresh yet familiar. Every idea, e...

review 1: This is the first Ultimate book by Millar I've read since Ultimates 2 (and even that was quite a while ago). It felt like I was missing parts of the story at times. I've only read this now because it's included in The Death of Spider-man omnibus. I guess it's kind of cool how the...

review 1: The Marvel Ultimate series restarts their most popular titles with a more modern perspective. This book picks up after the events of Ultimatum. Nick Fury has been fired and Captain America has gone rogue. Tony Stark's big brother lends a hand as well as a kinder, gentler Hulk.Thi...

review 1: Hit Girl was undoubtedly the most refreshing character in Kick-Ass (book 1). Her dangerous, violent and hilariously sarcastic demeanor is delightful - I was very much looking forward to this. Sadly, Mark Millar did not deliver. The plot was way too disjointed and rushed for my li...

review 1: 2.5/5Hit-girl es de mis personajes favoritos en el mundo de los cómics ¿como no amar a una pequeña, dulce y tierna niña superheroe asesina? ¡Woaw! la adoraba.Fue una total decepción (tal vez soy muy exigente). Cuando leí el pirmer tomo de Kick-ass quedé maravillada pensaba: ¿Por ...

review 1: I know that there is a lot of debate surrounding the new Kick Ass movie, and I know that the story is uber-violent, and disturbing, but there is something that is constantly bringing me back to the books themselves. Now, full disclosure, I read Kick Ass 2 before Hit Girl, and ho...

review 1: This must the the first book I have rated so low - after the time I became a conscious fan (one who has heard all the shit hurled at being his fan) of Mark Millar and decided to dig out all his works. This book is an ode to a comic lover.I could have waxed eloquently on this for ...

review 1: Mark Miller is a hard man to like. Mark Miller must always write work that can only be majorly hated or loved. His work is quite like Frank Miller’s, which by the way is not related to Mark, they just share the same last name. He has written various comics such as Marvel’s Ci...

review 1: Good, but not great. The set-up is good, but not great. Not a lot of depth to the characters like there often is in Millar's work. This is the troubled youth. This is the bad mother. This the abusive step-father. This is the super spy.If you can read it free (i.e. from the ...

review 1: Basically it is Mark Millar once again attempting once again to take the familiar superhero genre and doing something interesting with it. In this case by making all characters supervillains who are under the thumb of an aging supervillain and who do not like this one bit. So the...

review 1: Holy. Shit.Another masterpiece by Mark Millar. I can't even tell you who my favorite character was!!! I loved them all, and the story line was awesome. Comicbookresources.com was not joking when they said it's like X-Men meets Ocean's Eleven. If you are a Millar fan, you HAVE to ...
