Kick-Ass: Don Quixote of comics

What is really impressive. It is incredible that in an area as hackneyed as the genre of superheroes, where everything is told and retold more than, and in which, in a show of original course by the authors, they apply only miserable dog variations central to a story narrated n times, there is a writer who is able to show, through unique and individual work or taking care of great icons of the genre, an everlasting freshness and originality that make his comics in real references to modern superhero comics.

We showed in "Ultimate X-Men" did it again, surpassing, in "The Ultimates", gave a spectacular 180-degree turn, telling the story "from the other side" in "Wanted", and "Kick Ass" becomes seemingly impossible to give a new twist proving that is probably the best comic writer of the moment SH.

"Kick Ass" is the embodiment of the dream plot, with a capital of any geek comics: the usually bland make your life a continuous succession of thrills and adventures, becoming a true superhero, an amalgam of everything he reads with relish every month and wants to move his whole soul to the vulgar world around us ... Dave, the protagonist, a shy, reserved. weakling, vulgar and very, very geek comics, dare to do, which Quixote comics. It draws on their individual books of chivalry to transform their dreams into reality and make your life a little gray to fill you, motivates you. Wants to defend the weak and stop the bad guys, and wants to do like comics to those who have dedicated many hours. However, as happened to Don Quixote, in this powerful impulse of madness show teen reluctantly discover that reality has nothing to do with this colorful world that collects, that there is pain out there, death and much, lot of blood, when you get in unsavory places or circles, or when you're faced with people who are even worse than you.

Mark Millar is able to bring us with the utmost conviction a fantastic story with strong shades of reality. "Kick Ass" is a raw story, which may be true, because all the elements that seasoned, that enrich, page after page, are easily recognizable to anyone, especially for anyone who loves comics and their substitutes, but the same cause of emotional moments. "Kick Ass" for his notorious violence, is a comic book for adults, but no need to use the vulgar style of Warren Ellis on "The Boys", for example, to make clear to whom is it is also true that no KA has nothing to do with TB. While this is a thoughtless and exacerbated criticism of superheroes, "Kick Ass" is a clear homage to the comic book reader you've always dreamed to be like the heroes of those who have read both, but, of course, has never gone so far of dress and behave like them. That is why the winks are constant throughout the work, thus increasing and enriching the remarkable appeal itself carry the story for the reader, regardless if it is seasoned or not the world of superheroes.

And this achievement, as well as extraordinary and flawless script by Millar, is also much to see a John Romita Jr. pleasantly away the limited parameters of other well-known works by him, showing "Kick Ass" which is capable purely cinematic style (something characteristic of his entire career), excite, surprise and impact at a time.

"Kick Ass" is an excellent comic, a breath of fresh air in the dull superhero genre that Mark Millar returns to reinvent again, an embodiment bold graphics, classic hard but so typical of Romita, ideal for the story tells ... A work that are sure to return the trust to a genre as repetitive and may run out, but not compulsively read more vulgar and topical comic stories, but to continue to choose work as groundbreaking as this "Kick Ass", which shows you there are still very good authors who know do very good things with the guys in pajamas.

And now, after reading this refreshing touches view film adaptation, to see if it maintains the originality and peculiar style of the mother ... Let's see if it is true, for once.
