The Last Night. We've been through a lot together, and I know that we lost a few to the beast yesterday. It was the toughest of the bunch but I hope that we came out stronger for it. One thing I do know for certain: it's going to make tonight seem like a piece of cake. Rum cake, but cake.
This is the final adventure. The back to the basics. One last journey. Intensity has been dialed back as we head towards the end. It'd be naive to say it all led to this but, for those who have been here from the start (and those I thank), it kind of did. It's a doozy of an ending. If you want to come along into the sunset, then let's get going. If not, then best of wishes.
Now let's get ready to kick some ass one last time.
This is-
Kick-Ass Book Four: The End of Kick-Ass
And here we go... with the full message from that cover.
JUSTICE FOREVER!
>>64457951
you are a god amongst us, OPI still refuse to read this until i get the collection[spoiler/]
Now, I would never lead you into something without fair warning. That wouldn't be nice.
And KA3 is a return to form of KA1 and HG, which we can say was better than KA2, but this first issue has one really bad moment. Hope you don't lose your cools this early.
Also, if you HAVE been here all nights! Take a bow! Chime in. Congrats.
But I was going to play Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.
We pick up right at the end of the last book...
These three are the contingency plan.
What a world.
They're committed to the cause.
>>64458099
I'd say her leaving Kick-Ass all her stuff was cute if it wasn't for the sake of a jailbreak.
They're obviously too prepared for this.
>>64458048
>Also, if you HAVE been here all nights! Take a bow! Chime in. Congrats.
a storytime has never taken more out of me than KA2
Damn it Marty!
Stop with the prophecies.
>>64458427
This one is less taxing. Promise.
These guys are just brilliant aren't they?
Not that I agree with Hit-Girl, but yeah... these guys are looking for an easy way out without losing face.
>>64458541
They should have warn different costumes.
>>64458588
why don't we take off our one mask, and then birdman won't know it is us?
This is that moment. Quite possibly one of the worst things that Kick-Ass has done.
But scout's honor.
It's clear sailing from here. Nothing but good ol' fashioned fun.
Marty is out of the picture, so it's just these two bozos for now.
Also, whatever happened to their curly haired friend?
You did mess up a lot, David.
Messed up as much as Todd messes up his spelling.
Preach to the choir, lady.
Some of Hit-Girl's training has actually sunk in.
>>64457951
oh god here we go I love you Dave but I also hate you Dave
>>64457951
Mah main man Dave
....ish.
Tuck in your head, man.
>>64458838
That's okay, but remember. I never led anyone astray. I laid out ALL cards. Have fun.
>>64458827
I know Hit-Girl was shit in the last comic but this leaving her to rot is tarting to piss me off.
I also wasn't lying about Todd's spelling deficiency.
Get a dictionary fool!
The Juicer is far worse than any of this arc's villains.
>>64458880
It's the main theme of this arc that... Kick-Ass is losing his way a bit. Did you see the combined message from the cover? So, give it some time.
THAT is just adding insult to goshdarn injury!
Taking from the petty cash?
Not cool dude.
If you can remember from yesterday night... Todd has a thang for older women.
What a nice third panel.
Also, Kick-Ass has been at this for what... maybe 2-3 years?
How does anyone still get this kind of drop on him?
>>64458617
Goddamn it, Dave. You're an idiot.
Part 2:
wherein the cover says it all.
>>64459100
Dave is a really big idiot.
But he HAS gotten at least 3% better at this.
Just like old times, right David?
At least the car stops to help this time.
Kick-Ass, your secret identity is a google search away.
No need to play coy.
Not exactly ships passing in the night, huh?
Meet Angie Genovese.
You might remember her from the Hit-Girl mini.
This is her story.
And, as you can guess, it is not a happy story.
Alright, for those that really know how William Hickey sounds like I'd recommend reading Rocco in his voice.
It makes everything he says a whole lot funnier.
Rocco loves the laddies, and he ain't about to apologize for that.
>>64459246
God, that face!
Shut the fuck up Motherfucker.
Your mom has an actually good plan.
Kick-Ass' ambitions far exceed his reach, right?
Alright "Awesome Hitler" is going in my little book of Kick-Ass-isms.
Again, no one gives a crap Motherfucker.
Also, I think I finally get why they called him that.
It's actually pretty easy to say it when he is one.
DID YOU FORGET ABOUT LT. STRIPES?
LT. STIPES DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT YOU!
Also, Lt. Stripes is the only one who hasn't forgotten about Katie.
AWW AWWW...
That was unfortunate.
Rest in Peace, Lt. Stripes, you noble man.
Vaya con dios.
Part 3:
wherein it's time to see how the other half lives.
>>64459611
You continue to fuck everything, Chris.
>>64459611
Well that wasn't quite as planned
>>64459663
Just... goddamnit. Least he's with his brother now.
Even if she is losing her cool, Doc.
She ain't gonna lose it in front of you.
You could have just worn a disguise, dude.
>>64459713
What prison puts a female minor with adult men?
Luckily enough, the dame doesn't seem to be put off by this behavior.
Google.
Search.
David.
>>64459796
Who can tell? I think there's a reason why they never broach the subject.
>>64459796
Comic book prison
Her running an entire prison is bullshit even for this story.
Alright, we've found Hit-Girl's weakness!
>>64459843
Yeah, really. But hey... I have no follow up rationale.
>>64459149
Damn it, Dave, you were almost cool here!
Rocco is a very, very, understanding man.
He knows you're too weak Motherfucker.
The return of Battle Guy!
>>64459925
>soft
Really? I mean, sure he's a moron, but organizing a supervillain terrorist strike on Tines Square and gunning down kids isn't really all that soft.
Charity Dogman is best Dogman
This could not have gone worse.
>>64460007
Rocco is old school. He sees that whole affair as Motherfucker just "playing supervillain". He wants to make him a future Mob Boss.
>>64460080
>that 4th panel
Alright, two whole pages and Dave has yet to mess up.
Well, EVEN THEN...
Alright, still.
This is still going in his "not that horrible escapades" file.
>>64460080
I'm looking forward to seeing Hit Girl throw that useless fat fuck out of her lair when she gets out.
But only just barely.
>>64460136
I like how they made a callback to this in the final issue with Hit-Girl
Because you put yourself in these situations, Kick-Ass.
Ain't you know that?
It's the odds.
At least one of his tricks had to have worked over the years,
>>64460113
>>64460080
>>64460059
>>64460182
>>64460200
>>64460223
>>64460242
Not bad at all, Dave
Part 4:
wherein it's time to shake things up
Now, does ANYONE remember this guy?
Because I do and it was hilarious to see him here.
>>64460277
Right? Even I have to give him props.
>>64460306
Hey Dave, isn't it kind of weird that you're story timing a book about a guy called Dave?
So are they gonna have a group adventure where they don't get caught at the start and all run for it?
Getting mugged by this hobo wasn;t that bad after all.
>>64460265
Wait, did they actually accomplish anything?
>>64460334
Yes, which is why I call him David or Kick-Ass.
>>64460345
NO. Not at all.
No one believes in the Skybird.
>>64460334
I think he's hiding a secret identity from us
>>64460345
Rocco now considers them a threat. So shit's about to get real in some bad ways.
How can you work with them when you NEVER work?!
>>64460345
They pissed off the mob
again
The Juicer must be stopped.
>>64460400
>>64460409
Right. They succeeded in pissing off the WORST of the Genovese Bros.
>>64460384
Well Mark sure did at the end.
Is this worse than Civil War?
I dunno.
>>64460441Shh.
they never made hit girl 2? i thought they did
>>64460167
though honestly, remember batman's bladder spasm?
the fuck you think would happen if you finger is on a trigger right next to an explosion like that?
>>64460407
>Now they're NEVER going to fear me
Dave, they were never going to fear you anyway :(
Kick-Ass, please.
Like you haven't said or monologued even lamer things.
Alright, I forgot to mention. This kind of stuff.
Freaky, huh?
>>64460481
I remember that being planned, but they scrapped it.
Awwwwkwaaaard
You and me.
And me and you.
>>64460494
I don't get why anyone is siding with that deadbeat asshole.
>>64460526
>Freaky, huh?
Fucking hot I would call it. Nice, Todd.
Now, I'm pretty sure that David doesn't have this much game.
B-but they forgot the coffee!
>>64460596
Juicer is far worse than Rocco. At least Rocco is dignified.
>>64460598
Gotta give Todd his due, yeah.
>>64460609
Movie Dave might. But he's considerably less of a loser.
Was there any other way to show this Motherfucker the ropes?
>>64460586
>I had polio
but... what
Seriously though.
William Hickey voice. But still, gotta admit that's real snazzy.
Hahaha, your luck is running out Mindy.
Now he's just going to haveta do it.
>>64460778
Thats some odd perspective on panel 3
Makes her neck look really fat
>>64460689
The notch thing plays part of the finale if you pay attention :D
Alright, this is where it all starts going down.
This is where Kick-Ass 3 goes from... alright....
To something special.
>>64460596
because none of the superheroes "do" anything, and they don't want to be next on the chopping block, insecurity, plus the dude was a big self promoter, he might not have done anything, either, but he seemed like he did.
>>64460802
Walter White's a sadistic guy.
Part 5:
wherein it all comes crashing down.
I like to bookend things, so I'll be placing this here one last time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A8e2_GZR-M
To the Skull and Bones Gang!
They are experienced.
>>64460936
Still waiting for a plot to happen, besides Dave's romance with the girl that's going to be a traitor or get murdered or raped.
They are methodical.
>>64460936
Hes like 19 at this point
Why is he still kid sized?
>>64461014
haaaaa, you couldn't be more wrong anon.
They are determined.
>>64461014
I said this was back to basics. Street heroics and then the overarching mob thing.
They are environmentally conscious.
They're the whole package!
>>64461050
Shh! Let's let things play out.
This is just getting beyond the pale.
>>64461067
Is this part of the group that splintered off from Kickass's?
Oh my god these cops are fucking amazing
I started to get high hopes for him when he stopped Mindy by just using his badge. I'm glad my faith went rewarded
Didn't really need to know what his Oh Face was.
>>64461099
Did you not see the last page of the previous issue?
>>64461110
THE SKULL AND BONES FOREVER!
Ha
>>64461134
No I meant the people watching the video though the page after my post cleared things up
Yes, yes, we're all happy Kick-Ass is happy... well...
Thanks for the posts OP, you're a cool guy.
>>64461161
Nope. You see Ass-Kicker, and Dr. Gravity etc. It's Kick-Ass' boys, son!
>>64461134
>Didn't really need to know what his Oh Face was.
Eh, I allow it.
For god's sake, Kick-Ass!
Kick-Ass is pursuing new avenues of self-expression.
>>64461247
It cant last
>>64461247
But I thought he liked the superhero stuff.
Overall I agree with Marty.
They're much more healthy than dressing up in a wetsuit to fight crime.
>>64461272
she's gonna get killed sometime later isn't she
You wanted to be a super-hero, David.
>>64461284
>>64461278
Evil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing.
One of the reasons why I think this is my favorite KA arc is because I love Rocco and the Skull and Bones.
>>64461314
We'll see.
>>64461284
He's drifting. Finding new things.
He's finding himself.
Very true, Gigante.
Rocco is going to show New York that being a superhero is bad for your health.
>>64461158
So now that he's finally had sex he sees everything he has ever done as really childish. This reminds me of a skit I once saw.
http://youtu.be/W8RkqbqmttA
We cannot prevent the following events.
We can only stand by and play witness.
Some more deserved than others.
But all lost in the war against crime.
Goddamnit man.
>>64461388
I hope this doesn't turn out where Rocco figures it out and kill the skull guys to show that dressing up like a supervillain isn't as impressive as being a mobster.
>>64461436
Oh wow, he got juiced
Also RIP dog man
Just damn it all.
>>64461436
Well, that was kinda anti-climactic.
I thought Millar was going somewhere with that.
This was an actual page.
So... why not?
>>64461479
We'll see. Almost done anyway.
>>64461474
GODDAMN IT
This shit's getting dire.
You know, I'm okay with this. I liked Dr Gravity, Insect Man, and random dog costume guy but their deaths are all worth it to see the Juicer get what he deserved.
>>64461406
When I finally lost my viginity didn't change me at all, I just got into kinkier sex and still messed around with my mates
>>64460866
>>64460936
I gotta hand it to Millar. When I saw the cover art of this skull guy way back when, I didn't expect him to be that.
>>64461474
Not Doctor Gravity!
Not turk....
Man, this shit is depressing.
>>64461492
Honestly this sort of shit should have happened sooner.
Part 6:
wherein time to peek behind the curtain a bit.
>>64461532
Neither did I. I was shocked. In a pleasant way,
If we didn't already know it by now... Hit-Girl had a fucked up childhood.
Still have no idea how Big Daddy was able to pull all this off.
>>64458076
god fucking damn why hasn't someone broken romita jr's fingers for this art yet
Woweee, her first Arnie flick?
>>64461579
If she isn't nervous about this already she must have been fucked in the head before her dad.
>>64461520
Same. I don't think I changed when I lost mine. Maybe I had a new prospective on things but i don't think I majorly changed either.
>>64458124
holy fuck there are muppets cringing at these faces
>>64461674
Probably.
>>64461520
I got MORE into comics after I lost mine, go figure
>>64461683
So this is basically the Rorschach therapy session 2.0
Comic Big Daddy was incredibly crazy.
But there's still a gruff cozyness right?
>>64461694
He is Walter White!
He decided to make it fun.
>>64458617
> Mark Millar shitting on the only reason he isn't working in a factory
>>64458647
those heads
those heads
i will die screaming "those heads"
He doesn't, but he wouldn't mind if you died along with him.
>>64461762
>dat complete lack of trigger discipline on the first panel
Not so quick on the draw, these four.
Oh head games.
Always fun.
Big Daddy I don't know how to feel about you.
>>64461811
It's kind of hard to tell because the art is so atrocious, but he's firing the gun in the air.
It's time.
The moment of truth.
>>64461893
I dunno if I can watch
>thinking big daddy is good father by any measure
>>64461893
Oh sweet god she's going to kill her mom.
This just got amazing.
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, HIT-GIRL...
This whole family is nuts.
>>64461918
Of course not, Big Daddy was insane.
RUN ASS-KICKER RUN!
>>64461928
best mom
>>64459215
>'coz
fucking scots
>>64461928
That page is golden.
Well, ass wound then
>>64461928
GODDAMMIT! FUCK YOU MILLAR, FUCK YOU AND YOUR BULLSHIT!
>>64461928
BEST FUCKING MOM
That is the most hilarious hush money I;ve ever seen.
>>64462010
You really gonna let that page beat you?
>>64459796
The good kind.bueno.jpg
Gigante, you should read more comics.
>>64458739
I know people hate Mark Millar, and I don't really love his Kick-Ass stories, but that's a great scene.
Jacking your new girlfriend's car.
Bold move.
>>64461928
Wow, didn't expect that. Was thinking hit girl would tell her mom she was weak or something.
>>64462036
No it's just, it's so stupid.
Bolder move.
Okay David, you look cool.
Get on with it.
>>64462104
It's really a "1" on the scale of stupid this series can get though.
>>64462010
believably is not a comics tradition, Millar knows this. It's one of the few things he's right about.
>>64459438
> you remember that moment batman pissed all over himself? yeah, we doin' that
Poor, poor, Mrs. Genovese.
>>64461994
AHHHH SOMETHING BIT ME
>>64462171
go away kevin smith
This motherfucker has actually been training for this moment.
>>64462235
fuuuuuuuck
His own final mission.
And I'm going to have to have a small intermission here. Will be back soon. But in the meantime, has anyone let this arc get to them?
>>64462205
Hahahah
>>64462261
>has anyone let this arc get to them?
This is like reading Tiny Titans compared to KA2. Shit, I'm practically enjoying it!
>>64462261
wait, what? keep posting this you retarded fuck
>>64462261
Im actually enjoying this. Its not the usual super edgy shit that Millar normally does. Im actually digging it
>>64462261
I'm worried he's actually going to kill the rest of them and let Hit-Girl go in BIG TWIST.
>>64462261
pls just keep posting I'm at work and I'll need to leave the computer at any second
>>64462261
Chris actually looks reasonable for the first time in this whole fucking series. No stupid corny jokes, no dumb costume, no over the top edginess. Just a gun and vengeance.
>>64459797
> drinking coffee for 3 hours
he's going to be pissing nonstop
>>64462104
This comic has done worse.
I like the development. It's ridiculous, but that's kinda the point of the whole story.
>>64462235
>>64462261
YOU FUCKER!
Goddamn you, Chris. What a piece of shit.
>>64459944
> how do these bombs work
> they explode when a radio signal goes off
> that's FUCKING SCIENCE FICTION, MAN
>>64462365
dude also wrote Red Son, he's not completely incompetent, and some argue he's only deliberately incompetent when he wants to be.
>>64460059
> Change the plan to one of you having been an android all along
okay
>>64462512
he also wrote some great all ages Superman stories
He's a good writer, it's just sometimes his actual talent is drowned out by his desire to write ridiculous garbage
Are we done? Is there more issues of this out as of now?
>>64462812
He said he would be back, but I dunno when
This...is actually a lot better than Kick Ass 1 & 2
>>64462568
yeah, but you notice how he didn't have movie deals until after he stopped writing all ages shit?
Also look at Frank Miller, not exactly rolling in the dough until after he made his comics as edgy as his Robocop scripts.
>>64462812
yeah it's finished
dave said he'll be back to finish soon
