It takes a lot to surprise me in a comic-book, TV show, or movie. Usually I see the twists or surprises coming from a mile away. I do get shocked by Robert Kirkman in the Walking Dead quite a bit, especially with that scene involving Rick losing his you-know-what to the Governor.
In Kick-Ass #3, Mark Millar blew me away in a similar manner. It has one of the most violent scenes I’ve read in a comic book. Certainly the most violent from anything Marvel has published (even remotely published, as this is an ICON title). I never thought I’d see John Romita Jr. draw anything that bloody!
I’m not going to spoil it here, but Dave (our wannabe Kick-Ass hero) gets in over his head again. He gets a little assistance. But as shocking as that scene was, I am wondering now if this breaks the “reality” of Kick-Ass. Dave is depicted as a realistic kid. This other character…seems too good to be true.
And how does Katie play into the story? Look at the color of Katie’s eyes and remember them. Nuff said.
