I just finished reading "Kill All Parents" by Mark Andrew Smith on Image Comics and it it the greatest and funniest Superhero comic book story I have ever read. The writer, Mark Andrew Smith is a genius and the art by Marcelo Di Chiara and his colorist Russ Lowery is awesome. I have basketball admit, I bought this comic book just for the title. I knew it had to be good! I'm really surprised that as far as I know this title hasn't been used before. Wow, comic books sure have changed since I was a kid in the 60's!
Imagine if "Scream" was a comic book with Superheroes instead of a movie. That's what "Kill All Parents Is". Somehow Mark Andrew Smith totally manages to satirize every Superhero comic stereotype with the kitchen sink thrown that even non-comic book readers know! "Kill All Parents" is both serious and hilarious at the same time. Comic book fans will love it and it won't be lost and go over the heads of non-comic book fans.
The story is total genius and is something that's been so in front of our faces forever about Superheroes yet most people somehow were never aware of! I don't want to reveal the plot because it would be like "The Crying Game" if you knew the surprise in advance!
Apparently Mark Andrew Smith has only been writing comic books for a short time. He has the potential to be another Garth Ennis, to me the greatest book comic book writer on the planet and "Kill Your Parents" deserves an Eisner Award, the comic book equivalent to an Oscar (in case your not a comic book fan). I hope this comic book is made into a movie. It has the potential to be everything that "Superhero Movie" was not.
