This comic ended up being much better than the movie. I still don't Millar is a great writer because he never lets his ideas fully evolve but seems to be stuck in the superhero mentality of writing where development is a four letter word. It's funny comparing this comic to Watchmen. Where as Moore was way more subtle in his critique of superheros, Millar is more like a sledge hammer to the face. One thing I really did like about this book better than the movie was that I didn't ever feel Millar was wanting me to feel bad for the main character. Where as the movie I always thought they wanted me to feel bad for the main character and I never did because his choices and actions were getting him beat up and into the violent situations he got into.
The same with the movie as here: Hit Girl steals the entire story. Her character is just way better written, explored, and interesting.
Personally I think John Romita Jr, stole the entire series with his art work.
