Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. will reunite for a new Kick-Ass series but this
time around the character will be a black female. The new series will be called
Kick-Ass: The New Girl. The series will be set in a different city and feature a
new supporting cast. According to Mark Millar: “Kick-Ass is like James Bond or
Doctor Who where with a new face and a new situation and it suddenly feels very
exciting. Every four volumes or so I want a different person in the mask.
Sometimes it might even only last a single volume or even a single issue.”
Romita Jr. has committed to work on Kick-Ass for three years. We will also see
in January Hit-Girl from Millar and Rafael Albuquerque. Millar will write the
first arc of the series and then Wolverine’s Daniel Way will take over for the
following arcs. |
