Après deux volumes et une mini-série dédiée à Hit-girl, le scénariste Mark Millar et le dessinateur John Romita Jr mettront un point final à l’aventure Kick-Ass avec une troisième mini-série. Le lancement est prévu pour le mois de mai.
[quote=« Mark Millar »]The whole plan, all along, is that « Kick-Ass » was about a guy growing up. This is a John Hughes movie meets « Kill Bill. » It’s all about a rite of passage. It’s about a kid whose mum has died and he’s not really that enchanted with the real world. He’s become absorbed in this fantasy world of comics but he’s taken it to the next level and gets dressed up as these characters.
And « Kick-Ass 3 » is the moment where he says, « Hang on. This is a bit weird. » He suddenly thinks, « I love doing good and everything, but I’ve met this girl and real life is becoming all right. » He questions, does he really need to be Kick-Ass anymore?[/quote]
