CHICAGO COMIC-CON: MARK MILLAR PANEL
Kick-Ass continues to live up its name.
Following an enthusiastic reception at Comic-Con International two weeks ago, Mark Millar showed the same clips of the Kick-Ass movie at his panel at Chicago Comic-Con on Friday.
The crowd wasn't as big as San Diego, but the reception was even more positive, with a large portion of the filled room giving a standing ovation.
Millar encouraged the crowd to voice their opinions through as many venues as possible as director Matthew Vaughn seeks a distribution deal for the self-produced movie.
"Hopefully we'll have a deal in the next couple of days," Millar said.
