Kick-Ass is the first "book" (volume) in Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's creator owned series published by Marvel's independent imprint, Icon Comics. Book three of the Series entitled Kick-Ass 2 ran from Dec 2010 through May 2012, while book two entitled Hit-Girl began Aug 2012 and is currently being released monthly. The first series was collected in Kick-Ass.
Originally publishing monthly, beginning in February, 2008, the series met several severe delays spanning from a month, to five months between issues, concluding on February, 2010. The initial delay was a result of John Romita Jr's work on Amazing Spider-Man. Later, the delays continued as Mark Millar and John Romita Jr began work with Matthew Vaughn on the feature film adaptation. The film wrapped before the final issue was done. In late 2006 the opportunity to name Kick-Ass's civilian identity was auctioned off for charity. Dave Lizewski won the auction and chose his own name for the character.
