New Kick-Ass Is a Black Female, Author Mark Millar Reveals

Kick-Ass, the popular comic book series, is getting a fresh face! Scottish author/creator Mark Millar told The Hollywood Reporter the new Kick-Ass (the series' hero's moniker) will be a black female, which is a needed changed considering there are very few superheroes of color. Millar stated:

“Comics is not short of white males aged around 30; that demographic seems pretty well catered for in popular culture. I don’t think many blonde white guys around 30 feel under-represented when they pick up comic or watch a movie."
