I'm really torn by these books. I like the REAL WORLD super hero angle, but my problem is the same one I had with the movie. It's kind of like Natural Born Killers. You can't expect to seriously comment on violence while seemingly glorifying it at the same time.

Mindy got robbed in the film but the comic gives her her justice

Hit-Girl in one scary girl... I like how there isn't no superpowers in Kick-Ass, but there's something about the story or something that doesn't make the comic the best thing ever. But it's good, there's no doubt about it.

More blood, dismemberments, and smashed heads. That makes it a worthy follow up to Kick-Ass as far as I'm concerned.

Well, I made the mistake of reading "Kick Ass 2" before reading "Hit-Girl". Oops. That's OK though, because I still really enjoyed both volumes. This one takes place shortly after "Kick Ass". With her father now dead, Mindy, AKA Hit-Girl, has moved in with her mother and step-father. Since only her step-father has a clue as to her secret identity, Mindy must try to keep a low profile for her mother's sake. This means going to school. Mindy, who is one of the toughest and most deadly kids on the planet, has no idea what she's up against when it comes to dealing with mean girls. Especially since she can't just beat them up. That would be bad. In the meantime, Mindy has taken it upon herself to train Kick Ass to be more...kick ass. Guess which one of these things will be a bigger challenge for Mindy.
Hilarious, action-packed and original. I love this series and cannot express how happy I am that the focus is really now primarily on Hit-Girl, who is simultaneously the cutest and most bad-ass superhero I've ever seen.

Esta historia Spinn-Off de Hit-Girl es todo lo que está bien en esta vida.
.
En esto si no hay tanto spoiler y puedo hablar un poco más suelto.
.
Luego del final del primer tomo de Kick-Ass nos demuestra el futuro de Hit-Girl que se va a literal, tener una vida normal.
.
Y todo iba bien hasta que algo pasó en la casa que la hizo regresar a su naturaleza para poder cobrar las deudas.
.
Les juro que este pequeño preludio me gustó más que los otros dos tomos de Kick-Ass que no son malos pero este es sorprendente

Read this after the 1st Kick-ass collection. I might rate this as slightly more disturbing. At one point I felt like yelling "but hit-girl, statistically many people on death row are innocent!" (so I was glad she never tried to shoot out the 4th wall or anything like that). What I think makes Hit-Girl more disturbing than Kick-Ass (at least the 1st one) is that Kick-Ass gets beat up a lot on his crusade against petty crime, but Hit-Girl is an unstoppable menace like Anton in No Country for Old Men. To me, that's a disturbing idea even when that menace is deployed against unspeakably brutal mobsters, and it's especially disturbing when you also consider that she's kind of an unreformed child-soldier.

I've been a fan of the Kick-Ass books for some time now, and getting my hands on the Hit-Girl prelude has been a goal for some time. Reading it is pretty much exactly what I expected - lots of violence, lots of cursing, lots of lunacy.
What I didn't expect from this was a lot more heart than has been shown in the other issues so far. What has mostly been an excuse for absurd, realistic ultraviolence took a backseat in this trade for what was a really interesting look at how families might deal with a situation like this, on balancing one's responsibilities with the desires of others, and about coping in a society where you don't fit in.
Really, really well done.
