THE KICK-ASS
COMIC-BOOK IS COMING
Mark Millar (the writer of Civil War and The Ultimates) is doing a comic-book about me with Marvel's greatest artist John Romita Jr (World War Hulk and Amazing Spider-Man). This is a great honor for me because I have read and loooooooved comic books since I was five years old. This book will be released by Icon Comics in February. I hope you like it. The picture on the top left of the page is the promotional image and first cover. For an art preview of some of the pages John Romita Jr has in development please click here. More visuals will be available as we get closer to the launch date and there is talk of a big launch party too.
KICK-ASS CAUGHT ON CAMERA
The youtube video you can see copied here was taken in a supermarket car park after I helped someone who was being mugged. Someone recorded this on their phone and one of my new fans turned this into what looks like a trailer. I hope you like this too. If anyone has any more footage of me please link it here. But I am not doing this to be famous. I accept no money for helping people. I am a comic-book fan just trying to make a difference. Why don't you try it too?
Who I'd like to meet: If you are a fellow crime-fighter please join my group and maybe we can all have a team-up sometime. I am also a MASSIVE comic-book fan so any comic-pros or fans are especially welcome to join. Use this as a means of promoting your own book perhaps so others can see it. Whatever, I am here because I want to help and make a difference.
I've been spending tons of money at my local small comic shop, the guy there said I would love this book so I bought the first two issues and he gave me the third for free. This is how big people are supporting it, and you know, he was right, I thought it was bitchin'; fresh bitchin'.
I kick ass a little myself, keep me in mind for the stunt double in the movie.
WOW! THANKS A MILLION 4 THE ADD! MY NAME IS FERNANDO..FROM MALAYSIA.. I'M AN ILLUSTRATOR AND PART TIME COMIC ARTIST..I LOVE READING AND COLLECTING COMICS SINCE I WAS A KID...I JUST FINISHED READING "KICK-ASS" #1 AND 2...I THINK THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS BLOODY AWESOME! YOU GUYS REALLY MADE THIS BOOK AN ENJOYABLE READ!...CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ISSUE! MARK AND JOHN...YOU GUYS REALLY KICK ASS!
Okay, folks -- a small sensation of the tremendous proportions is rockin'n'sockin' the wee world of comicbooks. I just bought issue #2. It's awesome, along with the first ish and presumably all others to come. I urge you -- nay, I DEMAND that you check it out! See the myspace page of the said title. Check my new drawing I did just a few moments ago -- still in pencil, but intended to be embellished in Photoshop as soon as I get enough time. And above all - love the art of visual storytelling, that needs not just exquisite creators like writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita JR -- it needs YOU - the audience. 'Nuff said.
