Series: Kick-Ass 3

Summary

Kick-Ass 3 is the concluding chapter of the Kick-Ass series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. (8 issues total), published by Marvel's Icon imprint from June 2013. The story picks up right after Kick-Ass 2: Hit-Girl has been sentenced to prison, and Dave Lizewski, barely graduating from high school, takes on the role of leader of the grassroots superhero team Justice Forever. But vigilantism has by then been explicitly outlawed, and he must dodge police dragnets while guarding against a major gang counterattack, feeling increasingly overwhelmed. Chris D'Amico, the Red Mist, has suffered a mental breakdown and been handed over to the Genovese crime family for re-education; Mindy McCready, Hit-Girl, in prison, deals with the state-appointed psychiatrist while reordering her own rules for survival behind bars. The issue also uses flashbacks to reveal the origins of Hit-Girl's growth as the "tiny assassin." This is Book 6 of the series, corresponding to issue 6, collecting a mid-series advancing chapter; specific plot details follow the actual printing.

Editor's review

用超级英雄漫画的外壳讲“当英雄不再时髦”的故事，是《海扁王》系列最尖锐的地方。《海扁王3》里作者马克·米勒特意收紧叙事：超杀女大部分时间被关在监狱里，舞台重新交还给那个穿潜水服、没有超能力、挨打会疼的普通少年戴夫。他要在毕业、恋爱、兼职和“永远正义”的队务之间周旋，还要面对队友离心、警察和黑帮的双线追杀，这种狼狈恰恰撑起了全系列最有成年人味道的一章。小约翰·罗米塔和墨线师汤姆·帕尔默的画面依旧激烈、明快，动作场面节奏很快；需要提醒的是，丛书一贯的暴力、血腥与粗口十分直白，本作属于成人向作品，请读者按年龄与接受度自行选择。

Who it's for

A good fit for

读过《海扁王》第一部和第二部、想追完马克·米勒系列终章的老读者
偏爱无超能力的草根英雄、喜欢狼狈真实感的超级英雄漫画读者
可以接受暴力场面与黑色幽默的成年漫画读者
想了解超杀女明迪·麦克雷迪人物背景的粉丝

Not a good fit for

未成年读者，或对血腥暴力、粗口内容敏感的读者
只想看轻松热血主流超级英雄故事的人

Reading tips

先读《海扁王》《海扁王2》和《超杀女》，本卷的人物关系与情绪铺垫都建立在前作之上。
按系列期号顺序读，本册是第6册，与前后各册情节连贯，不宜单独跳读。
可关注戴夫在“继续戴面罩”与“做个普通人”之间的摇摆，这是终结篇的核心矛盾。
画面中的分镜切换和动作节奏值得放慢浏览，小约翰·罗米塔的动作调度是本书亮点之一。

FAQ

《海扁王3》是正传的完结篇吗？

是的。《海扁王3》是马克·米勒与小约翰·罗米塔合作的正传最后一部，全8期，2013年至2014年由漫威所属Icon厂牌出版，之后系列番外《超杀女》等作品延续了其中的人物线。

本册是第6册，能否单独买来读？

不推荐。本册对应系列第6期，承接前五册的监狱线与黑帮线，单独阅读容易看不懂人物关系与动机，建议按1至8的顺序阅读。

这本漫画适合孩子看吗？

不适合。《海扁王3》延续该系列一贯的成人向风格，包含写实暴力、血腥场面和粗口，官方也标注为成人读者内容。

超杀女在原版系列中还有独立作品吗？

有。米勒与罗米塔在正传之外另推出过以超杀女为主角的独立迷你系列《超杀女》，可视为《海扁王2》后超杀女线的补充，之后还有罗米塔独立编绘的新作。
