Kick-Ass getting digital treatment
Tweet
Kick-Ass is a feature film coming out to theaters everywhere tomorrow, but originally it was a comic book from Marvel.com. I just bought my hardcover copy of the graphic novel, but now you can also pick up the complete Kick-Ass limited series for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or your PSP.
“I have an ancient cell phone given to me by a relative that’s so old it can’t take pictures so this tech is so far away from me it might as well be science fiction,” said Kick-Ass writer and co-creator Mark Millar. “But I read about it on Comic Book Resources and Marvel.com– the guys seemed excited so consider me excited by osmosis. More readers and new readers is always a good thing.”
John Romita Jr, artist and co-creator of Kick-Ass, said, “I’m excited about these advances in technology that I have been hearing about for, what seems like ten years. Now it has arrived, and all I can think of is that it advances the state of ‘comic books’ in that it will direct people to the source material. I believe this will cement the tangible material, the comics themselves, into the hands and minds of future ‘young’ generations! It always comes down to the quality of writing and the sequential art. Holding a comic and turning the page for more will forever be a novelty, even with advanced technology as an option.”
What better way to enjoy the movie if you’ve already read the comic? I’ll be doing my comic review of Kick-Ass this weekend along with my movie review next week. But in the meantime, go check out Kick-Ass.
