Mark Millar On The End Of Kick Ass
As the final pages from John Romita Jr make their way through to him… Woke up, made a cup of tea, switched on the computer and a big email from Johnny with the final pages of the Kick-Ass conclusion, Kick-Ass 3 #8 It's actually quite an emotional thing to see the final few pages of a comic that[...]
The Art of Millarworld Is Underwhelming, Unlike Millarworld Itself
Very restricted, as it turns out – because each artist is limited to just a single interview in which to express their thoughts, with each interview taking up just two-thirds of a page (or so) before giving way to the galleries of unannotated cover art.

Initially, from a couple of corroborating reports on the show floor of San Diego Comic Con yesterday… and then all over the bars last night, where no less than eight people took me aside to tell me this top secret news that only they knew… John Romita Jr, son of the legendary Marvel artist John Romita[...]
The Page That Totally Turned Kick Ass 3 #1 Around For Me
I rather enjoyed the first Kick Ass series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr from Marvel The second… not as much Nor the Hit Girl spinoff But Kick Ass 3? Is it Iron Man 3 or is it Godfather Part III? It all comes down to one page. The first series contrasted the mundane with attempts[...]
