Here's what writer Mark Millar had to say in a recent interview with Comic Book Resources about his reasons for wanting to give the popular character (who was portrayed by Chloe Moretz in the 2010 movie adaptation) her own solo series.
"This is Hit Girl in her own ongoing book because I found that as I was writing the 'Kick-Ass' comic, Hit Girl would almost take it over because she was so much fun to write. When I was writing 'Kick-Ass 2' I found myself just desperate to write Hit Girl, but I had to force myself to give Kick-Ass as many scenes as possible because it was his book. So since I had so many ideas for Hit Girl that I couldn't fit into one book, so I've just spun it off into a solo title. It made perfect sense. Everyone coming out of the movie or reading the comic just wanted more Hit Girl, so you needed more stories of her."
And also from the site comes the following cover for the book which will see its first issue hit stands this September.
