BE FRIENDS WITH ‘KICK-ASS!’
Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s next creator-owned book offers previews and interactive features through MySpace

Never let it be said that Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. aren’t hip with the kids. In an effort to spread the world about their upcoming creator-owned series Kick-Ass (which debuts from Marvel’s Icon imprint in February), the pair have crafted a special MySpace page featuring cell phone videos and character glimpses that tie directly into the plot of the series.
"As you may recall, Kick-Ass is a limited series by John Romita Jr. and I about a real-life superhero, and his MySpace page will form an integral part of the story,” announced Millar. “This is where all our promotional material will be appearing, the first of which is available now with an 11-page pencil preview from the first issue.”
The media-savvy Scotsman also noted that the MySpace page is only step one in the book’s rollout, adding “The PR campaign kicks off in earnest early in the new year with a major announcement in January and another the week before the first issue launches. This site also offers a chance for other amateur, real-life superheroes to interact with Kick-Ass (or any savvy comic-book creators hoping to promote their work).”
