Marvel's Kick-Ass Premiere HC Now Back in Stock
With Kick-Ass, writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita, Jr. presented a unique, twisted, and – most importantly – entertaining take on the super-hero genre of comic books that has been praised by fans and critics since its release.
With the Kick-Ass movie scheduled to debut on April 18, Marvel's Kick-Ass Premiere HC (DEC090575D, $24.99) was sold out for some time, but its now back in stock at Diamond and available for reorders.
With this book, readers are introduced to Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, and the other unforgettable characters in this realistic world, where becoming a super-hero is accomplishable – powers or no powers. The hardcover collects Kick-Ass #1-#8, giving readers over 190 pages of content.
With this reprinting, there are now more than 100,000 copies of the hardcover in print, with nearly 40% of the copies sold to date sold through direct market retailers according to Marvel.
“My first inclination is to try to be clever and say that I have 100,000 relatives to thank.... but I won't,” said Kick-Ass artist and co-creator John Romita Jr. “I'm extremely proud of this all, and very excited about working on the next two chapters!”
Mark Millar, co-creator and writer of Kick-Ass added, “The idea that a twenty-five dollar book has hit 100,000 sales in a little over a month is just insane. Especially when this doesn't count all the international orders or the trade paperback we have coming up. That's roughly ten times what Johnny and I were expecting and we would like to thank the comic-book retailers in America for their support of this book. This was not cheap and they took a gamble on us and I promise that Johnny will buy each and every one of them a drink at every convention he ever hits from now on.”
