Kick-Ass is a creator-owned comic book series written by Mark Millar and illustrated by John Romita Jr. It was initially published by Marvel Comics under the company’s Icon imprint before moving to Image Comics in 2018.
It is the story of Dave Lizewski, a teenager who sets out to become a real life superhero. His actions are publicized on the Internet and inspire other people. He gets caught up with ruthless vigilantes Hit-Girl and Big Daddy who are on a mission to take down the gangster John Genovese.
The comic was adapted into a 2010 film of the same name directed by Matthew Vaughn, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong and Nicolas Cage. A sequel, directed by Jeff Wadlow, was released in 2013.
