I read the comics after watching the amazon show. Never was a real fan of comics but I thought I could read this one! I ain’t disappointed at all and I really like the story, can’t wait to read the next one.

I like it! Artwork is great, story is nice. Was expecting to love it and for it to be a page-turner, pretty much because I love most things written by Ennis but...! A group of anti-heroes, putting the super-heroes into their place. The bad way!

Wow! Even as a fan of Kick Ass. Didn’t see this coming. Hope Eric Kripke's amazon show has the guts to treat this visionary take on superheroes with complete loyalty to the source.

I binge watched the show on Prime, and wanted to check out the original story to see how they compared. It is just as graphic as the show, but not as bad as Book 6 of The Walking Dead (which is my standard for judging violence in a graphic novel). Looking forward to the other volumes.

Me gusto, pero creo que porque ya había visto la serie, y sabia como era. Se sale del común de los cómics de superhéroes, la verdad es que no es para todas las sensibilidades, ya que tiene un alto contenido de violencia y sexual. Es un experimento interesante leerlo, si, pero es un cómic bastante brutal, mucho mas que la serie. Un dato importante es que las historias en el cómic, tienen puntos en común con la serie, pero no van por los mismos lugares, por lo que no, no es como leer en cómic la serie.
