July 3, 2010 5:20 am Why does anyone care if he's British? If he can do an American accent give him a chance, isn't the great thing about America that anyone can become an American? Maybe they should choose a Romanian Jew like Stan Lee's parents?

June 11, 2010 5:12 am This looks like a story that'd appeal to me and great art  but I prefer the b&w art before the colors.

June 7, 2010 9:39 am Kick Ass is supposed to give you the feeling that it is just some ordinary person dressed up, so I suppose it doesn't apply. But otherwise I completely agree that the superhero needs to be highly stylised to work and art on the page can be the best at doing that. Do see Kick Ass, it's fun and doesn't need to be analyzed.

My first experience of Doctor Who was with Tom Baker, who was an impossible act to follow. I was disappointed with all of his sucessors but, for me, the closest to his quality of performance came from Christopher Eccleston. However, the new series is one of the best post-Baker runs that I have seen. The stories are complex and dark, the atmosphere captures a sense of the uncanny and the cast is stronger than most. Matt Smith is too young but has a genuine eccentricity which carries him through. My kids look forward to it every week and then get scared shitless every week, just how it was with me. The comments on Doctor Who comics are very useful.

April 9, 2010 1:46 pm What Jonathan Ross on ifanboy! I knew he wrote that book and he loves comics but that was a strange seeing him here, when he's probably the most famous and well paid guy on British TV (he gets about a third of the viewers of top US chat shows). He's definately an example of a person who's doing comics for the love of it. On TV, he is very quick witted, I hope this carries over into his writing. The theme of the book sounds a bit too familiar but I'll be picking it up, guessing that he has an original slant on things.

April 3, 2010 7:36 am The reason Matthew Vaughn didn't do the xmen movie was because he could see that he wasn't going to have any control over it. If it panned he'd get all the blame but if it was a success the producers would get all the credit. The great thing about KickAss is that it has an independent sensibility which allows for idiosynchrasies. Vaughn put his money behind KickAss so that what you see is what he wants you to see. Would he get the chance to do that with xmen, not then but maybe now?
