To be fair I’d enjoy this book no matter what the writing was like just because I think that fondly of the pencil work of JRJR, but I suppose I will discuss it regardless. Unlike the previous issue, this month’s installment puts the spotlight back on the main character Dave who has been kind of annoying and predictable at various points in the first four issues. We see Dave with Katie, but unfortunately for only a single page albeit an enjoyable and humorous one. I would have liked to seen more of Dave’s interactions with people, particularly his father, when not in his Kick-Ass gear. Obviously his role as Kick-Ass changed the way he interacted with people, and it wold have been nice to see how his decrease in popularity as a costumed hero impacted these interactions. However in regards to Kick-Ass, the introduction of a new costumed character provided the best moments for the Kick-Ass persona since the books first issue. As usual, an enjoyable if flawed issue. Hopefully we don’t have too long to wait for #6.
