By Mark Millar (writer), John Romita Jr. (pencils), Tom Palmer (inks), Dean White (colors)
I never know what to expect when I crack open this book and that’s what makes it such a compelling read. Perhaps the only staple that remains constant is knowing that Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. will treat us to a [...]

Kick-Ass #3 - Review

Posted on June 4, 2008 by Deamentia

By Mark Millar (writer), John Romita Jr. (pencils), Tom Palmer (inks), Dean White (colors)
