Kick-Ass 3 Vol. 2

Summary
Kick-Ass 3 is the concluding chapter of the Kick-Ass series, written by Mark Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., published in 8 issues by Marvel's Icon Comics in 2013. The story picks up after Kick-Ass 2: Hit-Girl, Mindy McCready, is imprisoned for certain reasons, while Kick-Ass, Dave Lizewski, graduates from high school and takes over the Justice Forever team, continuing to fight organized crime under a mask. But masked vigilantes have now been outlawed, so Kick-Ass must dodge the police while dealing with new and more vicious opponents than before; meanwhile, the incarcerated Hit-Girl gradually comes to grips with her situation in prison, and the former Red Mist is re-educated in the underworld. This volume is the second of the series, corresponding to issue #2 of the original run. In this issue, Kick-Ass, having just taken up the role of leader, immediately faces a new threat, while Justice Forever is divided and its morale shaky; whether the team will fall into infighting under his leadership is the main suspense of this volume. The story maintains the series' adult tone throughout: realistic street violence, profanity, and black humor coexist, while pushing the theme of whether it is worth it for ordinary people to take to the streets in masks toward a final reckoning.
Editor's review
《海扁王》系列最有趣的地方，在于它从不肯把“超级英雄”写成一件浪漫的事。到了第三部，代价终于要一次性算清：超杀女进了监狱，海扁王被迫从一个被救的人变成要带队伍的人，而法律已经把他们的行为定性为犯罪。马克·米勒在这一部里收紧了故事的节奏，把注意力从“打得多爽”转向“还剩下谁能活着走完”，小约翰·罗米塔的分镜依旧干净利落、动作调度扎实，暴力场面拍得直接而不美化。对读过前两部的读者来说，这是一趟必须走完的收尾；对刚接触这个系列的人，本册作为第 2 册更像中途上车——人物关系和前情都已铺开，最好先补齐前作再进入。需要提醒的是，作品含有较多血腥、粗口与成人议题，属于明确面向成年读者的类型。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 已读完《海扁王》第一、二部，想追到结局的读者
- 喜欢马克·米勒《王牌特工》《通缉令》式暴力喜剧的读者
- 偏爱写实街头背景、非超能力超级英雄题材的漫画迷
- 对“义警是否合法”这类社会议题感兴趣的成年读者
Not a good fit for
- 未成年读者，作品含较多血腥与粗口
- 期待类似漫威电影宇宙轻松风格的读者
- 未读过前两部、想从本册入门的读者
Reading tips
- 先补完《海扁王》第一部、第二部与《超杀女》外传，本册人物关系才看得清。
- 留意海扁王从“戴面具”到“带队”的身份变化，这是全系列的主题落点。
- 把动作场面与人物对话分开读，米勒的对白里往往埋着下一场的伏笔。
- 若关注结局，可在读完本册后继续到第 8 期，系列在第 8 期收束全部线索。
FAQ
这本《海扁王3 第2册》是整套还是单册？
是单册。它对应原版《Kick-Ass 3》连载的第 2 期，共 8 期的第三部作品中的一册，不包含整套内容。
没读过前两部能直接看吗？
不太建议。第三部是系列的收官，人物关系、仇恨与过往事件都建立在前两部之上，直接看会丢失大量前情。
《海扁王3》一共几期？
原版《Kick-Ass 3》由漫威 Icon Comics 于 2013 至 2014 年出版，共 8 期，之后有收录全部 8 期的精装本与平装合集。
漫画和同名电影剧情一样吗？
不完全一样。电影《海扁王2》之后并未继续改编，第三部漫画的结局只在纸上完成，与电影走向存在出入。
