Kick-Ass Returns: Image Unveils "Humongous" Compendium

Kick-Ass, the original gritty saga from writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr., is back in a big way. Image Comics just announced a "humongous compendium" reprinting "The Dave Lizewski Years." This is the foundational narrative that redefined what a superhero story could be.

Millar, a creator known for his bold, often controversial takes on the genre, teamed up with Romita Jr. to tell the brutal, unfiltered story of Dave Lizewski, an ordinary teen trying to become a real-life vigilante. The series became a cultural phenomenon, challenging conventions and spawning two films. This new collection offers both long-time fans and new readers a chance to own the complete original run in one hefty volume. It’s a big win for those who appreciate comics that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty.
