Kick-Ass 100K!
Mark Millar & John Romita Jr's Kick-Ass is the comic book/ movie
phenomenon everyone's talking about and now the hardcover collection is
about to surpass 100,000 copies in print, with nearly 40% of the copies
sold to date sold through direct market retailers!
"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."
With the feature film hitting theatres this Friday, no comic book fan
can afford to miss the hardcover taking the world by storm-it's time to
Kick-Ass!
