Kick-Ass Sells Out

Review: Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki #1

Street Fighter Legends is a way to take a character (usually female) and tell a unique tale that isn’t bound as tightly by the mythology of the games. While still in continuity with the core title, Street Fighter Legends is usually a lighter hearted and funny tale. This is Street Fighter’s third installment of their Legends series featuring the character Ibuki from Street Fighter III. Previous stories with the characters Sakura (Street Fighter Alpha) and Chun-Li (Street Fighter II) are currently available in paperback.

From the Vault: Justice League of America (1997)

What are superheroes like when they take off their masks and drop their “heroic” persona? It is a common theme found in many comic books today. In fact, some books are based solely around this question, and they all have varying degrees of success. One of the more noteworthy examples of this is the 1987 run of Justice League (International), created by the living legend Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis. In it, the comic showed the reader the politics, the in-fighting, and ultimately the humor that is unleashed behind closed JL headquarters’ doors. Sounds like a great sitcom, right? That's exactly what CBS thought.

Can you believe that critics over at IO9 are saying that Kick-Ass “is becoming increasingly racist”?! What a bunch of idiots!
