Kick-Ass

In 2025, Panini France revived the ultra-violent superhero satire with a new three-issue Kick-Ass series, bringing the franchise's signature blend of brutal, real-world vigilantism and dark humor to a fresh French audience. While creator Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr. originated the property, this installment is helmed by a new creative team that continues the story of costumed civilians taking justice into their own hands. Though a short run, it marks the property's first publication under Panini France, extending the legacy of a series that redefined the superhero genre for a more cynical, modern era.
