Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

Kick-Ass 2 #7 of 7
Icon Comics (Marvel)
Millar & Romita Jr
The big finale to the second Kick-Ass story is a bit of a downer. The hallmark for this book has been bloodshed done creatively and shockingly. However, this book has a very tame amount of death and ends things in a bit of a strange fashion as the book switches focus from Kick-Ass to Hit-Girl, which seems to serve Millar’s next mini-series and not ending this one properly. This was a rare miss for Millar as the book just didn’t deliver a satisfactory ending to this story and didn’t come close to matching the original series.

Kick-Ass 2 #6 of 7
Icon (Marvel) Comics
Millar & Romita Jr
Kick-Ass 2 issue number six stretches things out to set up the big finale in the next issue. This issue really only gets the heavy hitters into the same place at the same time to make sure everyone is going to end up bloody by the next issue. It's an average Kick-Ass comic book that really feels like this series should have been shortened by a couple of issues. Sure, the book is entertaining, which is all you can ask for, but it doesn't really bring much new to the arc. The big issue hasn't hit yet.

Kick-Ass 2 #5
Icon Comics (Marvel)
Millar & Romita Jr
Millar certainly knows how to put his characters through hell. The fifth issue of this mini-series continues the bloody massacre as Dave finds himself losing more of those close to him. The comic book is very entertaining making it something to pick up but the book is definitely light on story, as it seems like Millar is stretching this arc one or two issues more than it needs to be. Overall, this is a very good read especially if violence is your thing.
Media Release -- Time is ticking on getting your orders in on Kick-Ass 2 #5 and must be in by next week's FOC! Because the book was retro-solicited, retailers may have missed their orders on this issue completely and the team of Millar, Romita Jr., Palmer & White wouldn't want that to happen.

Kick-Ass 2 #3
Icon (Marvel Comics)
Millar & Romita Jr.
The third issue of the latest arc of Kick-Ass brings a lot of what you might expect. Millar tucks in some surprises, gives you a lot of blood and keeps it all interesting with some over-the-top humor. Romita Jr provides excellent visuals as always and it adds up to another very entertaining story. This series is nowhere close to the original (except in shipping delays) but it does provide a high level of entertainment. I definitely recommend this if you like some crude, sometimes bloody, adult stories.

This time, the beatings won't slow down, as Kick Ass 2 resumes a regular printing schedule of every six weeks, right until the final issue!

The megastar creative team of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. continue the underground comic sensation of the decade!
