Kick-Ass 2

Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. reunited for this seven-issue Marvel series, which picks up after the events of the original Kick-Ass. The story follows the fallout of a civilian superhero movement, with Dave Lizewski attempting to form a real team while a new, terrifying villain rises to challenge him. Romita Jr.’s kinetic, gritty artwork perfectly matches Millar’s brutal, profane take on superhero ambition. This sequel deepened the original’s darkly satirical exploration of what happens when ordinary people try to become icons.
