This was pretty good and I’d like to continue with the series.
I’d seen both the movies before reading it so I unfortunately had something to compare it to...there were differences that I liked better in the movie and that may be the reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars.

3.0

I think the movie took some of the best parts of this and then improved on some of the other less stellar bits. It’s a fairly pedestrian collection that could only have disappointed when read in six separate issues. It bounces around and takes ages to get going. The film wastes less time and Colin Firth and Samuel L Jackson are much more fun than fictional Mark Hamill and fictional Ridley Scott.

This got one extra star because I liked the movie so much.

Funny book, slick art. Would recommend

The movie was better.

This is really fun and enjoyably knowing and silly, though obvs you have to overlook the fact it's all about white blokes. There's one black guy and one black girl (who spends most of her time topless and is then fridged) and a couple of interchangeable white women without much dialogue. For a fun white boy wish-fulfilment graphic novel, though, it hits the spot, and I'm totes in for the film.

i swear i discovered this before i knew of the movie adaptation
truyện hay vlol

fun. but i probably won't remember anything about it in a month.

Read this as a sort of warm up for Kingsman 2 tomorrow night, and thought it was brilliant! The film was adapted from this story, and while there's a lot of plot changes, be it character connections, character descriptions and back stories, the main story remains the same.
As violent and sweary as a Deadpool comic, and a good, fun story! Why is this not a huge running comic, with multiple stories?!
