We loved Kick-Ass. You loved Kick-Ass. Everyone loved Kick-Ass. Except The Daily Mail. They didn’t like Kick-Ass. They hated Kick-Ass.

Anyhow, in preparation for the release of Kick-Ass on DVD and Blu-ray on 6 September, fans are advised to check out the new book, Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie. In the book, Mark Millar guides readers through everything from the creation of the original comic to the making of the movie.

Along the way, there’s artwork from the original comic, script extracts, previously unseen John Romita movie artwork and hundreds of movie photos.

Kick-Ass Creating the Comic, Making the Movie is out now (Titan Books), and you can check out an array of exclusive images from the book below. Kick-Ass is out on Region 2 DVD and Blu-ray on 6 September 2010.
