The dreaded Night Three. I'm not going to lie, this is going to be the toughest night of them all. If you've made it past one and two, try not to get cocky. And most of all, let's try to keep our cool. It's the only way we can beat this thing, along with some liquid courage. Or a lot.
This is the belly of the beast. The darkest and lowest point of a journey. The intensity levels have been set to maximum. And for a series like this, all that has been seen, that's saying something. I hope we make it out in one piece. If you want in, come along. If not, more power to you.
Now let's get ready to kick some ass!
This is-
Kick-Ass Book Three: The Revenge of Red Mist
And here we go....
Also, you don't gotta taste the awesome if ya don't want.
>>64425317
It's the weekend, and I can take part in this.
I skipped right to Dante Must Die mode.
Or fight like a really opinionated 12 year old girl.
That would work too.
oh no I don't think I'm prepared for this
>>64425379
You jumped right past the qualifiers and are right in the middle of the semi-finals.
I think the remake made it "taking your jacket on and off"
>>64425403
Wouldn't have thought it.
>>64425411
I'm fucking ready.
>>64425411
is this what the movie was based off us.
>>64425450
loosely.In my opinion the movie did it a hell of a lot better.
It's a character building exercise, David.
>>64425447
>>64425450
The movie was based off of Hit-Girl and this. We read Hit-Girl last night.
Man, I missed last night's dump. Hope nothing too plotrelevant will rear its head.
>>64425483
There are bits where I prefer the first comic to the first movie... but overall KA2 the movie was a great rendition of Kick-Ass. KA2 the comic... wooo we'll get to it.
>>64425509
Here's a little summary: Everyone above Red Mist in the Mob Hierarchy was killed by Hit-Girl. Red Mist then remembers Kick-Ass' secret identity.
And we begin.
Highly unusual is a really large understatement.
>>64425549
Well, I gotta do something for a couple hours. I expect this is gonna be more than a hundred pages so I'll be back around when it wraps up.
>>64425549
Yeah, I can understand that. I quite enjoyed the first Kick-Ass movie, but I've never read the first comic to compare.
How could making really powerful enemies when you're just a two bit punk with batons GO SO WRONG?
Worst battle cry ever, Red Mist.
>>64425630
Wait, kickass had his identity blown?
>tfwI liked the kiss in the movie
I think that one last chance doesn't apply here.
>>64425681
That's a "THINGS TO COME" Montage. Not yet.
>>64425681
>>64425667
Oh whoops, never mind.
>>64425630
Damn, what happened to his dad, I must have missed
>>64425630
okay, throw me a quick bone here. Who is brain damaged? I havent read numero one.
Todd is a freak.
>>64425721
>>64425728
That was all a "THINGS TO COME" montage.
>>64425681
In the first part,Big Daddy and Hit-Girl just had to follow him home and Red Mist has mob connections, plus Kick-Ass spilled his guts while being tortured, if you recall.
>>64425693me too, but it helps that Chloe had grown up.
>>64425747
Ahhhh, sorry man I've had a long day and its 20 past 1 in the morning
Enter one of the raddest motherfuckers in this shit:
Doctor Gravity!
>>64425750
And then Red Mist forgot and only remembered at the end of the Hit-Girl mini.
>>64425750
Haven't read the first one, so I didn't know about him spilling his guts.
I did know about him being followed home though, shot;d've remembered.
Trying to take down Kick-Ass with his signature weapon?
They had a pretty good chance.
If you say so, kid.
Kick-Ass unfortunately is persona non grata to the boys in blue.
So many fully written sentences in these texts.
Oh the things that pull you out of things.
>>64425902
>I promised to leave them alone for a week
Okay, that's funny.
>>64425902
sooo do hit girl and kick ass fuck?
Well, you already look pretty stupid, man.
Lucky beer.
>>64425959
Never. She's like a 12 year old kid. Wait for the next movie because they had to play to Chloe growing up.
What an assortment of people.... keep that wetsuit tightened Kick-Ass...
>>64425951
>Somebody order a fucking sandwich?!
>>64425959
She's 12.
Has Kick-Ass 3 ended? Is it possible that there will be a 4th?
Because I wouldn't put it past Millar to do that.
>>64425959
No, in the comic she's a little girl.
Chances of this happening in KA3: The movie are high, though. Chloe is growing.
JUSTICE FOREVER.
>>64426027
It ended. That's why I began doing these storytimes. And no Millar has said KA3 is the end. And it was AN end.
>>64426026
Well, at least their costumes are cool.
Part 2:
wherein they may not be the world's greatest superheroes... but they're the best NYC has got.
>>64426028
>Chloe is growing
Yes, yes she is. If you know what I mean.
Remembering Tommy was my favorite member of Justice Forever.
Let's see who you guys choose.
>>64426028
>>64426027
>>64425996
there's a 3? what happens?
That's just.... that's sad, y'know?
>>64426117
we'll find out tomorrow
>>64426117
I don't know. Probably bad things.
>>64426117
Wait until tomorrow night. If you can;t then there's this... IT ENDS.
Well... THIS is awkward.
And Marty stole the most well known origin to boot!
>>64426105
The giant motherfucker to the left of the military looking guy looks pretty awesome.
Too late for that Marty!
>>64426193
Lieutenant Stripes? Nice choice.
Colonel Stars is the man with the plan.
>>64426179
I thought this scene in the movie was hilarious.
>Holy shit, Marty?
>Uh, no
>Marty, it's me, Dave
>Dave? Holy shit, you're Kick-Ass?
>Yeah! So what's all this bullshit about your parents dying?
Wow Kick-Ass.
You suck at marketing yourself.
>>64426271
Pretty much everything with Justice Forever was great.
>It doesn't matter what you stick in your mouth. As long as you fight for good.
>>64426305
That second panel is creepy.
Someone should go ask The Crow for his autograph.
Kick-Ass also blows as assessing threats.
>>64426328
They're just two weirdoes trying to act casual. Off course it's creepy.
No, not stupid Mr. Lizewski.
More like incredibly retarded.
Colonel Stars and Lt. Stripes are some devout playas alright.
The Colonel is right.
Have some decorum about this stuff for gosh sakes.
Or else you get hit in the throat.
Simple enough deal, right?
This is actual a first for the series.
Kick-Ass looking like he's part of a well oiled machine.
Oh, and yeah.
They changed Sophia to Eisenhower for the movie. I think it's because of the gender of the dog they could get.
Well, to be honest Colonel...
>>64426506
>>64426571
I just realized that lieutenant stripes wasn't the dog
This speaks for itself.
I'm pretty sure.
I mean, there's no misunderstanding.
>>64426608
HAHAHA
>>64426506
I could hear Jim Carrey's voice there for a second.
Part 3:
wherein... that was fast.
>>64426629
People say that Cage nailed Big Daddy, but Carrey also NAILED Col. Stars.
>>64426639
what is this? stalker
Man, he's a college kid!
Way to go, Insect Man!
>>64426629
I was surprised how much I liked him in the movie.
At first casting him seemed weird, but then I remembered how the director said that he'd cast McLovin as Red Mist specifically because he liked the idea of casting a comedic actor in a very different role than you'd expect.
Meanwhile... Kim is still conscious.
Very catty Lt. Stripes
>>64426735
so he just by coincidence was picking up/bagging that 50k?
Yeah... that's a good idea.
>>64426763
He captured a really great sense of tough, gnarled guy, who was really just very nice all around.
The All-Seeing Eye was a creep, I heard.
>>64426796
Yeah... coincidence. Insect Man is all noble.
>>64426802
I also never realized how amazing Jim Carreys teeth are.
They're up there with Marky Marks.
Also, so far this hasn't been too bad. I assume it's around the time that The Motherfucker shows up that the pain begins.
Well, still don't think Justice Forever is that catchy a name... but nice looking roster right?
>>64426852
You got that right!
>>64426833
the more i read, the more this art stye is growing on me. i wasnt so sure at first, but its very charming
>>64426833
But they could have done this shit without dressing up.
Alright, I liked this scene both here and in the movie.
Todd is just so much worse at this than Kick-Ass.
>>64426874
This looks much better than KA and Hitgirl, I think
>>64426895
Where's the fun in that anon?
>>64426895
but they want to fantasize, thats the original motivation for most of them, or KA and his dweeb friend anyway
Marty's right.
She ain't ever comin' back David.
>>64426895
Very true. But the thing is... they're almost all weirdos.
>>64426895
hey, nobody takes a picture for the paper of regular people who AREN'T in superhero costumes when they volunteer at soup kitchens!
You heard Kick-Ass.
Never friend him on facebook.
Also, KATIE ADDED HIM ON FACEBOOK? Or didn't unfriend him?
>>64426872
i like gasmask rorschach
This.
This is where it all starts crashing down.
>>64427010
he looks like Sandman
>>64427016
this isn't that bad
>>64427016
Kick-Ass' dad would be handsome if it wasn't for his penis head.
Almost any other answer would have sounded less crazy, David.
>>64427016
STOP GOING THROUGH MY STUFF DAD!
>>64427016
OOOOOOOOOH SHIT
Superhero by night, angsty teen by day!
>>64427043
We got quite a while to go.
>>64426872
The Enforcer looks like something of a bad-ass there. I like it.
>>64426902
Speaking of movie talks, I really liked how they played out the talk that got everyone thinking Dave was screwing Mindy in the movie.
OH SHIT I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DELICIOUS FUCKINGrape
Logo ain't that bad, Colonel.
Enter:
Mother Russia.
She has no good side.
They don't Mother Russia.
And Col. Stars was true and blue.
>>64427141
I don't know, man. The front side from the neck down is looking pretty good.
I ragged on Justice Forever earlier, but that is a way worse team name.
>>64427197
i dunno, it summed him up quite well
Goddamn, I can't get through this shit again. The first one was okay, but this one just goes full on terrible by the end. Fuck Millar
Look who's talking, Chris.
At least the Colonel has the build to make it work.
>>64427141
Well, time to break out the booze.
Also, I liked how in the movie we got to see Red Mist assembling his crew.
>>64427197
Christopher Mintz-Plasse totally owned this role.
>Jeffrey Dahmer becomes a poorly drawn superhero.
Ahhh.... that ain't right.
>>64427245
Quite right.
You have to wonder why anyone would willingly call themselves "The Motherfucker"...
>>64427273
jesus fucking christ... i didnt expect that.
Mark Miller loves his gratuity, doesnt he just?
>>64427273
jesus christ!
>>64427269
They really did their best to salvage this. And I'd say they did a great job. About the only real misstep in the movie is the Mindy stuff, but Chloe no longer passes for a kid.
They kinda have to adress her age.
Part 4:
wherein it just does not let up.
>>64427248
If it's any consolation, KA3 is a return to basics.
>>64427104
edgy
>>64427269
Midway between crazy and stupid, and hilarious the whole way through.
>that scene where he shoots up the liquor store
When he says "I need to tweet this" I almost died.
>>64427361
I haven't read KA3 since I just dropped Millar in general after KA2, but I'll stick around this storytime and see how it is. You're going to be doing that one tomorrow right?
I think my nephew saw that one!
>>64427352
Completely agreed. KA2 the movie was a pretty good rendition of KA at it's most enjoyable, other than the HG stuff. But you got a point.
>>64427352
I can't help but think the scene where they kill the Col. and the attempted rape scene were almost big fuck you's the the source material, and it worked out great.
>>64427398
Yes. It's the final night.
>>64427273
>>64427292
I like how the movie had this particular outcome totally defused.
"Want me to kill his dog?"
"The dog, Jesus Christ, I'm not that evil. Cut the old man's head off. You guys hungry? I'm starving. Let's go get some pizza."
Still dark, but more like the black humor that the movies use.
>>64427410
considering she had hidden some seriously big guns in those toys not long ago, i dont think it's a good idea to just go on facebook
Well at least she isn't hallucinating her dead dad again.
>>64427421
Definitely. And one of big reasons why I don't think KA2 the comic works is because Red Mist is a fuck up. He's a "well known retard". It's just ridiculous to see him pull off some of this stuff.
>>64427361
I'm honestly surprised at how KA3 played out.
Do you think Millar planned it like this?
How the fuck does such a shitty comic book get such a following?
Lt. Stripes will be in mourning for a while.
>>64427485
No. I think the idea just came to him and he thought it would be neat.
But let's get into that tomorrow.
>>64427426
what the fuck is upwith her mother anyway? is jamie foxx fucking her now that her dad's been offed?
>>64427478
Yeah, I never know if he's supposed to be a villain or a walking punchline.
I mean, he keeps doing horrible villain stuff, but I can't take it seriously. In the movie you could at least see that he was mostly just a rich kid acting out a fantasy, same as Dave.
And the hits just keep on coming.
>>64427533
Her mother is emotionally sensitive since Big Daddy pretty much kidnapped Hit-Girl. And she's been married to Marcus for years.
>>64427597
oh god
>>64427567
Case in point.
In KA1 and the HG mini, Red Mist is just... he's a fool.
I can't take this seriously at all.
>>64427597
Oh yeah, I forgot that Big Daddy was significantly more insane in the comic.
Which takes some fucking doing. It's no easy feat to out-crazy Nic Cage.
>>64427597
and....here....we.....GO
Now, I'm going to have to say... can we all keep our cool?
Or are we gonna let this comic beat us?
>>64425385
>>64425411
Holy shit I've seen some mary sues in my time but this one takes the cake. Hell she takes the whole bakery. That's more than forty cakes.
Are you gonna let words and pictures rile ya up?
I forget, does Mother Russia fight the cops in this?
>>64427597
Shit, it's cuming isn't it
>>64427659
I don't have any beer, I may lose this one.
Because I'd understand if ya did.
This is a piece of work.
>>64427693
YES!
Sorry... um, yeah. She does.
>>64427567
A moment that stands out to me is when Dave attempts to save him near the end, at the roof, and he's so fucking lost in the role that he doesn't realize what he did until he's already falling to the shark tank.
>>64427727
Millar, I'm pretty sure you jacked that line from Preacher.
>>64427727
>the mother fucker unzips his dick
God dammit Millar.
>>64427754
The actress in the movie was apparently a Kindergarten teacher.
>>64427781
Time for the best music!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zTFyPXGmjc
>>64427773
>I'll be like an evil Jesus!
KA2 the movie had some great lines.
>>64427773
And then when he survives and you see that he's finally come out of it, that he's realized he's acting like a moron.
And then MC Shark gets him.
Mother Russia is too good at what she does.
>>64427787
No shit? That's fantastic.
>>64427801
BLAST IT!
>>64427781
these cops are fucking useless
>>64427636
Nic can totally pull off comic Big Daddy, they just wanted to keep the character sympathetic.
>>64427847
They're made of putty.
>>64427855
I liked his portrayal. It was still batshit insane but you couldn't help but like him.
>>64427877
they didnt fire 1 shot that entire time. no wonder red tits can rape and kill as he pleases
Your old man's last words were
"He shot me right in the tunk!"
>>64427877
Ten men killed because the cops don't setup a god damned perimeter. SHOTS WERE ALREADY FIRED, THEY HAVE GUNNED DOWN AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE. Jesus
>>64427754
>>64427781
The one in the movie is so much memorable, what with her improvising everything and the tetris music in the background.
>>64427877
That reminds me, has JrJr ever drawn Mindless Ones?
I feel like his style would work really well in a Dr. Strange book.
>>64427946
So did they or didn't they?
I'd say the worst is over, and I'd be telling the truth.
But there's a lot to get through still.
But... did everyone make it okay?
>>64427995
Still kicking, gonna break to make supper and do a liquor run. I'll be seeing you in a few.
The Night the Superheroes Failed...
>>64427995
dunno, look for the stupid fucking hair and goatee
David... you don't know shit about how nice your dad is.
>>64428036
Glad to hear it. You're all gonna need to stock up!
>>64427995
>But... did everyone make it okay?
my eyes are nearly rolling out of my skull but I think I'm gonna be okay Dave
>>64427995
It's impressive how a couple of pages can send everything to shit.
It is all your fault Kick-Ass
Like, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!
>>64428092
Good, would hate to have caused any undue harm.
luckily that exact portion had been posted here long ago, so i got the immunizing dose early
>>64428148
I hate this part. I hate this part so much.
Mr. Lizewski... you're too good to your son.
>>64428119
Right? But this is classical structure. This is the "all is lost" installment.
>>64427995
I wasn't ready....I-I thought I was but nothing could have prepared for this. I think i'm gonna need a drink Dave
Luckily enough, you left nothing unsaid right David?
>>64428212
sounds foreboding dave
>>64428077
>>64428194
>>64428212
This stuff was also really well translated into the movie.
Part 5:
there is nothing but sorrow.
>>64428199
I tried to warn ya, this arc won't let up.
Not yet.
>>64428194
You know, with Millar's penchant for gratoitousness, he missed a stinger.
Red Mist could have raped his Dad instead.
>>64428275
Honestly, I don't hate this bit with his dad.. I just don't quite like how it was handled.
>>64428287
But he already did that to his girlfriend so there isn't much worse to push
Mr. Lizewski... he got too clear a mind for this business.
>>64428287
.... that would have been something
>>64428279
what a stupid chapter title
You promise a lot, David.
>>64428333
Movie or comic?
Outside of key members of Justice Forever, MC Shark is the best character, am I right?
>>64428410
Comic. The movie had the excuse of bringing in a lot of perspectives already.
And the two of them used to be so close.
>>64428400
dad of the fucking year by a big margin. If my dad ever went down and got put in prison for even a day he'd come back wimpering
I know that this is just to bring more ire to Mother Russia here... but Ass-Kicker's subplot in the movie was pretty nice.
Also... FUCK!
You know you fucked up when TODD is smarter than you.
>>64428400
Those fucking panels.
>>64428496
Wait I meant I hate THIS part.
>>64428496
he was a good man. His son fucked up really hard
There's no breaks, I'm afraid.
>>64428496
>>64428515
shit shit shit
Don't let this beat you!
We can make it through this.
Goodbye Mr. Lizewski.
>>64428552
I want to get off, mommy!
Let it noted:
From here on out, everyone knows who Kick-Ass is.
>>64428592
oh jesus fucking christ.
Completely your fault!
They would have to make up a NEW word to describe how much of this is your fault!
Yeah, I can't fathom how this could have gone so wrong.
It's like this came out of the blue or something.
You're a good man Lt. Stripes.
Why am I reading this shitty comic?
>>64428672
this is making me ill, slightly. there better be some fucking resolution, macaroni miller
It's not your fault, Mindy. You got the improbable skills.
>>64428720
I don't know. Where you here for nights one and two? If so, then let's see if you can make it through to the end.
Some people just don't have any respect.
>>64428758This is where I started shipping Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl.
>>64428758
SHIT
>>64428758
The villians break the "cease fire"
Because who didn't see that coming?
>>64428758
No I wasn't.
The Motherfucker is a fucking motherfucker!
>>64428785
I like their older sis/young bro relationship better.
>>64428672
>>64428700
Man, they did a really good job translating a lot of this into the movie.
Maybe if the editing were better it'd had been better recieved.
Anybody else thought the movie was horrendous?
I watched the first one on netflix, it has such a promising build and premise towards it, I thought it would really be one of those movies that would stand out from the others, but nope! Things turn to pure and uttershit when hitgirl kills everyone in the room and then the movie proceeds to be a mindless bloodbath.
Hit-girl is probably the worst character I've ever seen in fiction.
>>64428700
>Lizewski
Where the fuck do all these jews in comics come from?
Tough luck David.
>>64428797
Then I have NO idea why you are reading this.
>>64428840
True, and less HG stuff.
>>64428776
if i were him, i think id rather be blown up. get it all out the way. cause honestly? whose leaving that kid out in connecticut? he'll just kill himself, if hes anything like a regular human
>>64428785
That online comic....whoa baby
>>64428875
It's based in New York City. If it is a white character and a hero they will have either a jewish or irish last name. Italian is saved forn villians and Frank. Fucking racists.
>>64428838
i like how big black doesnt give a solitary shit about anyone else. what a good public defender
Now they're going out of their way to be dicks,
>>64428875
The name was auctioned off for charity and the man, Dave Lizewski, chose to name Kick-Ass after himself.
That man is horrible at keeping his weapons from getting stolen it seems.
>>64428972
Is it Hit-Girl murder time?
Alright... from HERE ON... it's going to get easier.
But I still recommend a hearty dose of whatever you have.
Just to be safe.
>>64428993
>hurr durr mindy dont shot people even though they are about to torture and execute a child and you seem to be literally the only good guy capable of firing a gun at all
Part 6:
wherein rusty doesn't apply here
Do the police just walk into bullets or something?
I never knew how they couldn't get her in this situation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5RH9n_ADe8
>>64429082
Everyone walks into bullets here.
>>64429044
Am I the only one who is getting the sense that mark went too far with this? This is beyond sense, this is absurd. I cant even believe these characters in the context of a fucking comic book anymore, this is like on of those shoddily strung together rule 34 comics, but its snuff and on a bigger budget?
Still gonna read it though...
>>64429086
Wow that is some bad art. I mean damn.
It's too early to call, but I think that guy's gonna make it.
>>64429086
>>64429105
I know it's edgy... but damnit, is so goddamn awesome. And stupid
>>64429125
Oh... no. Kick-Ass 2 was definitely too far in a lot of ways.
KA3 is a return to basics.
>>64429125
>shodilly strung together rule 34 comics
I wish there were better/more shodilly strung together rule 34 comics
MC Shark INDAHOUS
>>64429135
You, my friend, are amazing.
>>64429132
ahhhhhhhh....
sweet catharsis
>>64429153
>His dad dies
>Gets told to grow a pair
>Miles' mom dies
>Gets slapped in the face for wanting to hang up the mask
What the fuck is it with blonde girls in comic books?
Okay, that last panel is a really good summary of their partnership.
