It’s all in celebration of the new movie Kick-Ass from Lionsgate.

In fact, we dare you.
Everyone will be taped, and a video of their performance will appear on Meltdown’s official blog, with additional publicity on Comics on Comics and CC2K. The denizens of the mighty Internet will then elect their favorite asskickers.
