Did you love the Kick-Ass movies? You will love this.

Did you not watch the Kick-Ass movie? Meet Dave. He believes that a normal dude should be able to walk around in a ski mask and full scuba suit with batons and beat up bad guys on the street. Why has no one ever tried to be a superhero before? It doesn’t make sense. Dave has decided he will be the world’s first superhero. He creates a MySpace page where people can contact him if they need help. He’s this close to getting his crush, Katie, to believe he’s not gay, and maybe now that he’s got a metal plate in his head, it won’t hurt so much when he gets beat up.

Enter Hit-Girl and Big Daddy. They’re closer to real-life superheroes than Dave. And now they’re blackmailing him to be on their team. That’s the dream, right?

As someone who looooves Kick-Ass it was so fun to see the difference between the comics and the movies. I enjoyed every bit of this, and the art was fantastic!

Do yourself a favor — sit down and devour The Nudge.

Laid out like a play, with two acts and an intermission, and with the vibes of two friends having a conversation, this gave me the same sense of impending terror as Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I love that this had illustrations to make it even creepier. The art is unnerving in itself, but paired with the story tips them over the edge.
