As much as I enjoy reading Kick-Ass, it's not something to push on casual readers (or anyone not a comic geek). The simple reason for that is this: No one knows when it comes out! It's been almost a year since it started and there's only been 5 issues done. The only things I hear about it are the release dates getting pushed back and the many, many, reprints being done. The only thing that'll keep a regular reading audience is a story that has people wanting more, and honestly Kick-Ass doesn't for the wait between issues.
I want to read more, but I'm in my LCS almost every week, so I know when a new issue comes out. Others probably don't 'cause they won't be checking dates weekly, and that's going to hurt sales in the long run. If they can't get it out on time soon then they're in trouble.
*looks up* oh wow that's a bit of a tangent rant. Sorry.
BTW does your "comic book guy" also want to see Babs be Batgirl again? 'Cause that wouldn't surprise me one bit.
