In September “Hit-Girl” #1 will debut with art by Leandro Fernandez and story by Mark Millar. Millar described the genesis of the “Kick-Ass” spinoff saying “This is Hit Girl in her own ongoing book because I found that as I was writing the ‘Kick-Ass’ comic, Hit Girl would almost take it over because she was so much fun to write. When I was writing ‘Kick-Ass 2’ I found myself just desperate to write Hit Girl, but I had to force myself to give Kick-Ass as many scenes as possible because it was his book. Since I had so many ideas for Hit Girl that I couldn’t fit into one book, I’ve just spun it off into a solo title. It made perfect sense. Everyone coming out of the movie or reading the comic just wanted more Hit Girl, so you needed more stories of her.”
