Famed comic writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven’s creator owned comic ‘Nemesis’ has been described in the past as “What if Batman WAS the Joker?” and “What if Batman was a total cunt?”. Nemesis which is published by Icon Comics (an imprint of Marvel) is the story of a supervillain who finds satisfaction in killing thousands of people, especially when it comes to government officials. Even though the comic was received with mixed reviews (mostly negative), critics do admit that the plot and premise was great, but the art and execution wasn’t. Currently, Nemesis has been picked up by 20th Century Fox with direct Tony Scott attached to the project. Until than, we can enjoy an awesome motion comic that is in the works by Richard Payne of Creative Immortal and DJ Deceit. Using McNiven’s art from Nemesis, Payne is creating an elegant, but violent motion comic for Nemesis set to the music of DJ Deceit “Badman Silence”. I don’t know about you, but motion comics seem like the next big thing in the comic world and I think this is a great example of what can be done.

No powers? No problem…
Here I am after watching the new teaser trailer for Kick-Ass for the 1oth time. I have to say… I. AM. FREAKIN’. EXCITED! The long awaited teaser was dropped yesterday. If you aren’t aware of what Kick-Ass is, Kick-Ass is a upcoming satiric superhero movie based on comic book written by the infamous Mark Millar and illustrated by John Romita Jr. (also infamous). The comic is still ongoing and published by Marvel. The story follows a New York High School student named Dave Lizewski who is a comic book fan that aspires to be a real superhero. Unlike most comic book fans, he is more than a dreamer. He takes action and becomes a masked vigilante/super hero named “Kick Ass”. Armed with nothing but what god gave him. Absolutely nothing. He has no superpowers or special abilities. His only power is that is just like ever other teenager. Kick Ass’ brave, bold, and ludicrous antics brings upon copycats.
The teaser is quite cool. The trailer does a pretty great job of setting up the premise of the movie along with a roll-call of the bitchin’ characters of the film. The trailer doesn’t give much away and just gives us a small taste of all the “kick ass” action in stored for us. The trailer style was a bit similar to that of Quentin Tarentino’s Inglorious Basterds, but all I can say is this 100 second trailer really gets you pumped up for KICK-ASS!
