Kick-Ass #6 – Vol. 1 – 2009 – Marvel/Icon Comics

Kick-Ass #6 from Vol. 1 (2009) continues the brutally brilliant saga created by Mark Millar and brought vividly to life by the unmistakable artwork of John Romita Jr., with inks by Tom Palmer and colours by Dean White. Published under Marvel’s Icon Comics imprint, this issue is an essential piece of the hard-hitting, genre-defying series that redefined the modern superhero comic with a raw, unfiltered lens on vigilantism.

In Kick-Ass #6, the stakes are higher than ever as Dave Lizewski, the teenager turned street-level superhero, finds himself out of his depth and in serious danger. The story veers into darker territory, exploring the brutal reality behind the cape and mask fantasy. With the introduction of even more ruthless criminals and bone-crunching action, this issue demonstrates just how far removed the real world is from traditional comic book heroics.

Hit-Girl continues to steal the spotlight with her unapologetic ferocity, tactical skills, and deeply compelling backstory. Big Daddy’s influence on her character shines through in every blood-spattered panel, making her both terrifying and fascinating. Meanwhile, Dave's naivety starts to crumble under the weight of real-world consequences, showcasing Millar’s signature blend of satire and shock.

The visuals from John Romita Jr. remain razor-sharp and dynamic, delivering visceral fight scenes and gritty cityscapes that feel all too real. Tom Palmer’s inks add heavy contrast and depth, while Dean White’s colour palette shifts seamlessly between muted realism and explosive violence. The synergy between narrative and illustration in this issue is among the series’ finest.

Perfect for readers who enjoy anti-hero stories, urban grit, and a fresh twist on the superhero genre, Kick-Ass #6 – Vol. 1 – 2009 is a must-have issue for any serious comic collection. It pulls no punches — narratively or visually — and lays the groundwork for some of the most shocking moments yet to come.
