REVIEW: Hit-Girl #1 (of 5)

Or – “She Looks Really Weird On That Cover, Doesn’t She?”

I’ve been a fan of John Romita Jr. since his run on Spider-Man decades ago, and have appreciated Mark Millar’s work since the early 90′s.  When they work together, though, I find my opinion of their work to be all over the place.  Can Hit-Girl get past the novelty value of a foul-mouthed 12 year old murderess?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

This past weekend, the 29th annual Heroes Convention was held in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was lucky enough to attend, and boy am I tired of hoofing it.

Yet another Kick-Ass Trailer

Yahoo! Movies has the latest Kick-Ass trailer available.  The movie continues to look kick-ass, and I really want to see it, although with my busy work and family schedule, I have about as much chance of seeing Kick-Ass as I do seeing Avatar before it leaves theaters.  I wonder if this movie would be appropriate to take my 2-year-old to?*

*Yes, I am joking about taking The Boy to the movie.

Big Daddy, Hit Girl Trailer NSFW

We linked to the Hit Girl trailer last week, but now you don’t have to push your way through some age verification B.S. thanks to YouTube.

Be warned though, this is the Red Band trailer, which means there is a lot of cursing, blood, violence, and the C-Word.  This definitely NOT SAFE FOR WORK!  You’ve been warned.

Good lord that was a lot of fighty-fighty!
