Image Comic fans have been given another opportunity to join Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr.’s preteen assassin as she continues her slay-cation this winter with Hit-Girl#9.
The Image Comics ongoing series has two new story arcs in the chamber and ready to blow. Millar and director Kevin Smith, earlier this week revealed their plans for a Hollywood-centric story for Mindy McCready which will find the diminutive vigilante seeking out and taking down the entertainment industry’s sexual predators. But before Hollywood calls for her unique skills, she will travel to Rome under the care of Brazilian creators Rafael Albuquerque and Rafael Scavone along with colorist Marcelo Maiolo.
Millar and company shared an exclusive first look at November’s issue with the beginning of the Roan arc, and in the pages below, Albuquerque and Maiolo deliver a fast-paced scooter ride through the Italian city that sets the tone for the heist story to follow.
