The Kick-Ass franchise has never really clicked for me in the way I wish it would. A lot of that has to do with how much at odds with themselves these books tend to be. They're ostensibly telling the story of what happens when real, ordinary people attempt to become costumed vigilantes, yet the grotesque violence and ludicrous plot twists destroy any sense of realism in this universe. That problem is only exacerbated when Hit-Girl becomes the star of the show. There's nothing remotely grounded about a preteen girl who slaughters criminals like a superhuman ninja. On the other hand, the benefit of making Hit-Girl the protagonist of these stories is that at least then Mark Millar can abandon any pretense of realism and simply lean into the crazy, over-the-top nature of this universe. Hit-Girl #1 is not a great comic, but at least it know what kind of comic it wants to be.
