Kick-Ass - No Peace For The Wicked - Niel Jacoby

Panel 1: MATT MALENKO, a stocky, taller man, ducks into an alleyway. He's wearing a brown suede jacket and tattered black tracksuit pants. His hands are in the pockets of the jacket. Outside the alleyway, we can see City Hall, as the mayor adresses his citizens.

Caption(Malenko): I SAW HIM ON THE TEEVEE.

Panel 2: Malenko pulls a black balaclava over his head, his eyes darting side to side. He's manic, nervous.

Caption(Malenko): THE KID IN THE WETSUIT, CALLED HIMSELF KICK-ASS.

Panel 3: Malenko takes off his jacket, and we can see that the sleeves are covered in blood up to the elbows. He's wearing a cheap black custom t-shirt reading

NO PEACE
FOR THE WICKED

Caption(Malenko): HE CALLED HIMSELF A HERO.

Panel 4: We see a picture in a newspaper of Malenko stabbing the mayor, while dressed in his getup. Malenko is crazed, almost gleeful.

Caption(Malenko): A HERO JUST LIKE ME.

    A supreme amount of intrigue to this page. You hook me with your moody visuals and mysterious characters and take me down a dark path.

    This would make a really good cold open or even a last page character introduction for the next issue. Nice job.

    To preface comments to follow, I am NOT a fan of Kick-Ass at all. In fact, lumped in with the UnFunnies, it is one of the few works by Mark Miller I do not like.

    However, your take on the property is fresh like a bucket of ice water to the face. It is visceral and unapologetic, and frankly, Niel, your 4th panel scared me. That's a good thing, indeed. Well played, sir.

    This is actually quite a chilling page, and your build-up to the reveal aids that. Especially when you consider all the arguments against violent movies/video games/comics/etc.
