Doing a re-read with these new editions out from Image. Millar and Romita take a real world approach to what would happen if a teenage comic book reader actually put on a costume and tried to fight crime. They'd get their ass kicked repeatedly. Romita doesn't pull any punches either. Every punch is illustrated in full bloody, pulped glory. My one gripe is Romita draws all the teenagers and kids with huge heads. They look like bobbleheads. Then Millar throws us a curveball with Hit-Girl. Here is this little girl who is slicing limbs off left and right. It's fantastic, even if the real world approach is suddenly left by the wayside. I found myself rooting for this crazy little nutjob, especially since Dave is a real douche with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The book may be called Kick-Ass, but Hit-Girl is the true star of these books.
