Maurice

Maurice is a mysterious figure who made his first appearance in Kick-Ass #2 (2018), published by Image Comics as part of the relaunched Kick-Ass series. With an origin classified as divine or eternal in nature, Maurice carries an air of enigma that sets him apart from the grounded, street-level world that the Kick-Ass universe is known for. His debut issue is a key early chapter in the rebooted series, making it a notable pickup for collectors tracking the full run from the start.

The 2018 Kick-Ass relaunch introduced an entirely new lead character and a fresh cast to support the series, with Maurice among the supporting figures shaping this new chapter of the franchise. His presence in this iteration of the title adds an unexpected supernatural or mythological undertone to a comic line built on hyperrealistic violence and satire. Collectors who appreciate layered world-building will find his inclusion intriguing as the series develops its new identity.

For collectors, Kick-Ass #2 (2018) represents more than just a single character's debut — it is a foundational issue in a new era of one of Image Comics' most provocative franchises. The 2018 relaunch attracted significant attention from fans of the original Mark Millar run, and early issues in the series have maintained steady interest in the back-issue market. Picking up Maurice's first appearance alongside the full 2018 Kick-Ass run is a smart move for collectors looking to complete a modern Image series with strong name recognition.
