This week’s comic clip is from a trade paperback called “Kick-Ass” from 2008. The book tells a story of an average teenager Dave Lizewski, a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers.

The comic is six issues long and here is a clipping from the first book. The line is “We all planned to be a superhero at some point in our lives.”

This week it was announced that a movie was being made based off of this comic. A Teaser Trailer was also released (see below). Looks like they are going to be holding closely to the book, as this trailer covers most of the first issue.
