Kick-Ass: The Dave Lizewski Years #2

A small, blood-drenched figure — unmistakably Hit-Girl, blonde hair falling around her painted face — stands center stage on John Romita Jr. and Tom Palmer's striking cover, twin blades dripping red against a muted violet background. This 2018 Image collection gathers more of Mark Millar and Romita Jr.'s unflinching superhero saga under the "Dave Lizewski Years" banner, and the cover alone makes a powerful case for the story inside. If you've been following this run, Book Two is exactly the kind of volume you'll want on your shelf.
