The villain’s goal in the comic and movie are the same: kill off a lot of people because the planet can no longer support them. One note in advance: Harry Hart from the movie, and Jack London in the book, aren't exactly the same character (and their names aren't remotely similar), but they do fulfill the same role as Eggsy's Kingsman mentor, and have enough overlap in their stories to justify comparison. Mark Hamill was cast as Professor James Arnold, a reference to his character in the source comic book being named "Mark Hamill". When Gary pays his mother a visit at her boyfriend's flat, he finds her beaten up for setting up a welcoming party for her son. Gary is put on an extensive three-year training course, performing various assassinations and apprehending a Colombian drug lord.

Packaging was overkill (it came in a big box, rather than a sleeve), but it was undamaged so can't / shouldn't complain. He understands the disillusionment of being made to prove yourself in an industry that’s set to believe you won’t make it.In the epilogue, Gary reads a letter from his uncle, left before he departed on his last assignment.

Knowing all about the disgrace his nephew has been through, Jack tells Gary that things are done to keep the world safe, and not to earn fame and conduct. He just shows up (routinely) and saves Eggsy from his trashy, thug ish shenanigans with this odd Get Out of Jail Free card that he flashes at the local police. His uncle gets him out of trouble from time to time and after his latest screw up, tells Eggsy that he's really a spy. I generally like Mark Millar’s Millarworld books but I couldn’t believe how derivative so much of this book was. In August 2017, Fox partnered with Old Forester to release a Statesman edition of their 95 proof Bourbon whiskey for the U.After a confrontation with Ingot, Eggsy shoots Du Preez with a poisonous spy-dart which will slowly kill him, and makes his escape with Kwaito and Treeman, a hacker held captive by Du Preez. It was reported that Julianne Moore was in talks to star as the new villain, and Halle Berry might sign on as the Head of the CIA. Following the recent release of the Kingsman movie at the start of 2015 I decided to pick up the source material in the form of Millar/Gibbon's graphic novel. The next day, Channing Tatum announced on his Twitter account that he was joining the cast as Agent Tequila. Kingsman is a British multimedia franchise, consisting of action comedy comic books, films, and video games, that follow the missions of Agent Galahad of Kingsman, a fictional secret service organization.
