I was lucky enough to see a screening of this film with Comic Impact staff members, Rich and Dana and we all agreed that this movie lived up to the amazing book that it is base on.

Don’t ask me when the next issue of Kick Ass is coming out. But I can tell you from the screening we saw you will fall in love with Hit-Girl I know we all did. She is the star of the film.

The story of Kick-Ass goes something like this: comic book fanboy Dave Lizewski decides to become a hero to save New York city from the real bad guys- street thugs, drug dealers, etc., etc. There are some major injuries to key characters and serious amounts of violence in this book, but with a title like Kick-Ass should that come as a surprise? The story is from the minds of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.

Hit-Girl is played by Chloe Moretz the film is due in theaters on April 16, 2010. The film also stars Nicolas Cage (Big Daddy), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Red Mist), Aaron Johnson (Dave Lizewski a.k.a Kick-Ass).
