Get your first look at three awe-inspiring variant covers from superstar artist Leinil Francis Yu, uniting the characters of Kick-Ass, Nemesis, and Superior in one climactic battle scene! When placed together, the Kick Ass 2 #2 Yu Variant, Superior #4 Yu Variant, and Nemesis #4 Yu Variant covers form a showdown between three of Millar’s most celebrated series!

“People kept suggesting I do a crossover with the Millarworld characters and I kind of loved the idea,” said Mark Millar. “It wouldn’t make sense as a story as they all exist in their own distinct universes. But I was talking to Leinil in New York about this a few weeks back and we came up with this idea of spreading the image across three variants, each character touching the front cover of another book and it seemed very exciting. These are my wee babies so to see them all playing together gives me a warm glow. I’m collecting them to form one big image and to have it framed over my desk.”
