Her (reported) reason for doing so is that word has it around school that Dave is pimping in The Village, and getting beat up by his clients, thus explaining why he regularly attends school with stitches and bandages. Katie's mother runs a shelter for battered women.
Dave is very much okay with all of this, and clearly grateful for her recent attention.
Of the many requests for help that he has received in his inbox, Dave decides to help one particular young woman who is being stalked by her ex-boyfriend. When he confronts this man as Kick-Ass, the situation deteriorates quickly, and Dave ends up face down and badly beaten....again.
The next (full page) panel reveals a masked girl (could it be Katie?) who starts swinging a crazy big sword. She impales one man through his torso and decapitates another.
Shazam.
I love the edginess of this comic, and wish Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. were releasing the issues of this title faster.
I've also learned from Comic Book Resources that the film adaptation of Kick-Ass is in pre-production. Casting has begun, and CBR teases us geeks with, "when news breaks on a certain actor they have lined up....a distribution deal will be right around the corner."
Very cool.
