I don’t even really remember what is going on in this book…
Yeah, me neither. I remember liking the previous issues. But I don’t know if I want to get back into it. Begs the question of whether I want to reward horrible off-schedule work. I probably will because I’m a sucker. But I shouldn’t. On principle. I am a man of principles. Principles that I will happily ignore.
Damnit…same here.
I’ll be voicing my dissapointment by not spending my hard earned$$ on this. I’m pissed, that its late. I so don’t care what happens, I’ll wait for the adaption on Netflix, maybe

Dude, bitter.
If its good, then its good. If its not, then its not.
YES! This was one of my top five series back when it was coming out! This is becoming my favorite Millar work yet, I love the heart this series has, and this propelled Leinil Yu into my top five artists. I can’t complain about them double shipping issues 5 & 6 this month to catch up a bit either.
It will be interesting to finally sit down and read the last two years worth of a few of these mini-series, like this Kick Ass 2, etc. When these end, I’ll probably scale back some of these creator-owned series, in favor of seeking trades for other ones.
This is a weird series for me in that every time an issue comes out, which I hear is not often, I tell myself that I’m not interested and am going to be done with this series. Then I get to the store, reluctantly get it, and then really enjoy it.
I loved the first issues and i think it will rank in the top 3 of my favourite Millar books, but the long layoff turned me off. I’m still pulling it though, because it ends after #6 and the final issue is listed for october as well. Seems like Millar gets going since he doesn’t for Marvel anymore.
Issue seven is the final issue, and it will be double-sized.
I wonder how many people WON’T be buying this after the last issue of Kick-Ass 2. This one is definitely milder in the shock factor.
I think that would be pretty absurd. Millar is Millar. He does what he does. And most of the time, I like it (even last issue of KA).
Agreed.
I was wondering about this book the other week, I thought I missed something but now that itz here I am not excited but maybe after a re read of the other issues I will be, I remember Millar world being good, it’s just been a long time since I visited.
This might be my favorite creator owned millar book yet
4/5. This was good but not as great as the last issue. In his review, JohnnyDestructo mentioned how the big reveal at the end of issue #4 sort of spoiled the reveal in this issue. And I agree to a degree that for us, the readers, the impact of the reveal is lessened. But it’s the reveal and impact on Simon that we’re experiencing here, and I thought it was handled well. Again, not as good as #4 – this was sort of a bridge issue to get us to the last act – but still a good book and a great series. I can’t wait to see how it winds up!
