Ryan, JR Jr is an acquired taste for sure, but I can’t help but love his unique style. Somewhere between the current art styles and his fathers lines, he doesn’t quite fit in.

I love how he draws Spider-Man, but I understand a lot of people feel it’s too cartoony. To me it feels classic.

Ok, this trailer pushed the exact buttons to turn me around on it. The Freeks and Geeks theme/Joan Jett song, the high school dorks, the period, which to me looks like 70’s/80’s, the self-deprecating humour. And most of all the lack of Brooding Superheros. I’m now excited to see this.

One thing, the main character looks like Jake Gyllenhaal’s (had to look that one up, really, two A’s?) brother or cousin or something. That’ll take getting used to.

What typo…

And for the record, I normally don’t like JR jr’s work at all, but it works for Kick-Ass.

I think it was a typo, but I love that you called it a “red-bad” trailer. I think that name should stick form now on. Sounds cooler than red band!

I’m pretty stoked for this movie, even though I have to admit to only having read the first issue of kick ass. I still hear it. John Romita Jr’s art in Kick-Ass is perfect, and I’m glad to see the costumes (for the most part) seem to hold their integrity.

Can’t wait for the trailer, can’t wait for the movie, can’t wait to read more.
