Kick-Ass (comic)

[GlassAdam]

Anybody here read this series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick-Ass)? Is it any good? Should I make a long-overdue trip to the comic shop in order to try and score a couple of issues? Gimmee some impressions, please!

I don't know much about comic, but I do know who Mark Millar is. What have you heard about this comic yourself? What is it about?

[GlassAdam]

Only as much as the wikipedia page says (click on the words "this series" in the original post). It sounds pretty, well, kick-ass. But comics are expensive these days, and I'd probably rather wait for the TPB unless it's truly AWESOME.

[Umbrae]

How much are they?

And what's TPB?

[ChukoLiang]

the playa book, obviously. Glassadam's such a pimp he owns a copy.

TPB = Trade Paper Back... It's just all the individual issues collected into a nice-looking, bigger edition. Usually cheaper in the long-run, too. Oh-- and you can stand it up on a bookshelf! (a big plus for me)

As for how much the individual issues are, well, probably not much. 3 bucks, maybe? Who knows? What I do know is that it takes maybe 5 minutes to read a comic, so you've gotta ask yourself if that was 3 dollars well-spent, or would it be better to save that money for a different form of entertainment? Such are the questions facing the entire comics industry these days...

I think I've heard Kick-Ass was pretty good, but I'm not sure.

[PSRT]

I hear Mark Millar is a total ass.

[GlassAdam]

Well he is Scottish.

*zing?*

I usually go for the $.50 bin comic books.
