THE SECRET SERVICE: KINGSMAN is the critically acclaimed comic book series by Kick-Ass writer MARK MILLAR and Watchmen’s DAVE GIBBONS. Now a Hollywood blockbuster starring Colin Firth and Taron Egerton, and directed by MATTHEW VAUGHN, KINGSMAN reinvents the spy genre for the 21st century. The story follows a British secret agent who takes his wayward nephew under his wing and trains him to become a gentleman spy. Together, they uncover a plot that links kidnapped celebrities with a plot to eradicate 90 percent of the human race!
I picked this up at the library because I really enjoyed the movies. After reading through the comic, I can see the bits that the movie pulled and the bits that it changed. I did really enjoy the volume and the characters introduced. The villain storyline was a bit weak, but that’s okay. The villain storyline isn’t really the focus. Overall a very entertaining story.
