The actor portraying Harry, Colin Firth, was said to do 80% of the stunts in The Secret Service himself. 6 months prior to the filming, Firth had trainers helping him with the fight choreographies and activities. The story if I look at it as a whole is not a bad story, it is interesting and a story I would love to read about, but it's the writing and the framing and the pacing that are the problems here. It seems that Millar does not focus on the things that would grab the reader, we never really relate to the characters and the pacing is too jumpy for any momentum and emotions to develop. Issue 1-3 felt meandering and 4-6 felt fast but characters were not introduced well and made a lot of "huh, who's that?" moments. I think a couple of more issues may have fixed it but I think more than anything it's the focus that's a bit off. This series has different lead characters in each volume, although they are connected by the same city and crime that has lasted for generations. This is an award-winning series and is one that most fans of The King's Man should get a lot of enjoyment out of. Originally the marketing campaign was going to begin with a teaser trailer featuring all six actors who portrayed James Bond— Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig—discussing the need for a new generation of secret agents before Harry and Eggsy entered the room, symbolizing the passing of the torch to a new franchise of spy films. Almost all of the actors agreed to appear and Vaughan agreed to shoot the scene, but the plans were shelved because Connery was too ill with dementia by that time.

Nicola Love. "Kingsman The Secret Service by Mark Millar at Glasgow Cineworld – STV Glasgow – Glasgow". STV Glasgow. Kingsman: The Secret Service, the first film in a planned franchise based on the Kingsman comic book by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, tells the story of a top-secret agency that takes a rough-around-the-edges but promising street kid into its highly selective training program just as a terrifying global threat emerges from a deranged technological genius. The induction and education of Gary “Eggsy” Unwin into an underground spy network. Eggsy joins a mission led by Richmond Valentine, a wealthy megalomaniac with an interest in climate change, and the results are brutal and hilarious. Great potential, interesting premise, critically acclaimed writer, legendary artist, Hollywood producer, thin character development, choppy storytelling, uninspired art, wasted potential.

I like Dave Gibbon, he is an industry legend and did the famous Watchmen...but his art I think is outdated and compared to the plethora of talented artists in the industry now...just stagnant. His framing is nothing special and there is no sense of motion at all in his art. Disappointing. Watch The King's Man on Disney+ Kingsman 3 potential release date: When will Kingsman 3 be released?
