Kick-Ass

In 2010, Panini France launched a two-issue French edition of the groundbreaking Kick-Ass series, collecting the original story that follows an ordinary teenager who decides to become a real-life superhero without any powers or training. This edition brings Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s violent, profane, and darkly comedic deconstruction of the superhero genre to a French audience, capturing the raw energy that made the original a modern cult phenomenon. Though brief, this release is a key piece of the series' international publishing history, offering a direct window into the work that redefined what a superhero comic could be.
