Hit-Girl's on a mission, courtesy of Jeff Lemire and Eduardo Risso, and it's taking her north of the border to Canada. Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. have turned over the keys to Mindy McCready's comic book adventures to new creators, and for his part, the writer couldn't be more thrilled.
"The opening two pages of Jeff and Eduardoâs [Hit-Girl story] is just beautiful," Millar told CBR in a recent interview. "Hit-Girl catching snowdrops on her tongue and then turning the pages to see sheâs caught in a Canadian bear-trap and just blown a guyâs head off. You see these first two pages and youâre just like, Iâm in!"
