This then is a book that does little to change the format - the biggest alteration is the complete avoidance of writing in the sound FX of the "blam"s of collisions and the "bam! bam!"s of the countless bullets fired herein. But inasmuch as it turns the comic world's tropes so breezily, humorously and correctly deftly on its head, while never becoming arch, this book is a great success. Whether this is your introduction to this title, or a purchase as a souvenir of the movie, this will stay on your shelves for a long time, and deserve many readings. I have to recommend it.
Other teens find themselves bearing super-powered tropes in a totally different style in the brilliant [[Demo: v. 1 by Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan|Demo by Brian Wood]]. We also have a review of [[Kick-Ass 3 by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr]].
