With Kingsman The Secret Service out, it’s the perfect time to revisit Kick-Ass, the first brainchild of Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar. They’re clearly a brilliant team-up, but Kick-Ass went through some changes from page to screen. Today, we’ll show you: What’s the Difference? Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm

We’re in an age obsessed with comic book movies - just look at the release schedule for the next few years! But Kick-Ass occupies a special place in the world of comic book movies. Our hero is not only unlikely, he’s downright inappropriate. Plus, the story from page to screen was far more parallel than it usually is, with the Kick-Ass movie being bought before the comic was even published. Still, along the way, movie and book diverged, and we’ll show you all the differences, great and small~

Have you read the Kick-Ass comic? Did you enjoy the movies? Have we inspired you to revisit Mark Millar and John Romita’s comic? To check out Kick-Ass 2, or Kingsman, for that matter?
