Have you ever really wanted to be a super hero? Dave Lizewski has - and he's not willing to let it stop with simple daydreams. Designing a suit for himself and taking the name "Kick-Ass," Dave decides to make his dreary existence more exciting - and maybe even help some people in the process. But with no special powers and outmatched by New York City's most hardened criminals, Kick-Ass might be in for a little more than he bargained for. With his super-hero secret identity gaining fans due to a popular viral video, and other masked vigilantes beginning to make their presence felt in the city, Dave knows that his extracurricular activity is dangerous, maybe even stupid - but he's got the itch, and it ain't going away.COLLECTING: Kick-Ass 1-8

"Face front, true believer! In 1962, in the last issue of a cancelled series, artist Steve Ditko teamed with writer Stan Lee to create a super hero unlike any other. Instead of a remote arctic headquarters or a secret underground cave, he lived with his elderly aunt in Queens, New York. He battled problems fo money, school and family as often as he fought super-villains. This new hero was Spider-Man - and guided by Lee and Ditko, he quickly became Marvel Comics' most popular chraacter. During the next four years, Ditko helped create such memorable villains as Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, the Vulture and dozens more classic Spidey foes. In sharp contrast to Spider-Man's grounded realism, Ditko also created Doctor Strange - a hero whose mystical battle sagainst bizarre, otherworldly threats showcased the artist's limitless creativity. Alongside Lee and Jack Kirby, Ditko's contributions played an integral part in laying the groundwork for the modern day Marvel Comics." -- Page [4] of cover.

"I let the mask fall away from my face. I let them see me. Dylan Taylor. Chatterbox. Mutant and monster. Teen Magneto. This is one of those pivotal moments. There's a metaphor for this. I learned about it in history. The name of some river in Rome." Here we go again. The Cute Mutants are back, bigger and badder than ever. Even better, we're in charge of ourselves now. We've got a headquarters, gear, and an actual budget. Except, we've also got EMID-the American Extrahuman Monitoring and Intelligence Division-breathing down our necks to track down mutants for them. Even worse, there's rumours of a mysterious killer with superpowers and a grudge against the rainbow community. And then there's the promise from our last boss. The threat of war. Humans vs. mutants. The dream was to thrive, but maybe all we can hope for is survival. Whatever that takes. I think I'm beginning to understand the saying, "the end justifies the means." There used to be a line between heroes and villains, didn't there?
