Kick-Ass – The Dave Lizewski Years (originally published simply as Kick-Ass, and as Hit-Girl for Book Two) is a creator-owned comic book series written by Mark Millar and illustrated by John Romita Jr. The first instalment of the Hit-Girl & Kick-Ass franchise, it was initially published by Marvel Comics under the company's Icon imprint and republished under Image Comics. Set in the Millarworld, the series primarily tells the story of Dave Lizewski, a teenager who sets out to become a real life superhero. His actions are publicized on the Internet and inspire other people. He gets caught up with ruthless vigilantes Big Daddy and Mindy "Hit-Girl" McCready, who are on a mission to take down the Genovese crime family. Two stand-alone sequel series, Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass – The New Girl, respectively following Mindy and new villain protagonist Patience Lee, began publication in February 2018, before jointly concluding with the crossover miniseries Kick-Ass vs. Hit-Girl in March 2021. A further crossover, Big Game, was published from July to November 2023, following a now mid-20s Mindy as she teams up with Kingsman agent Eggsy Unwin against Wesley Gibson, while Dave is granted superpowers by the Magic Order.
The first volume of the series was adapted into a film directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the title role and Chloë Grace Moretz as Hit-Girl, released in 2010. A sequel, directed by Jeff Wadlow and adapting the second and third volumes of the series, was released in 2013. A third and fourth film, School Fight and The Stuntman, directed by Damien Walters, will be released in 2024 and 2025.
