Mark Millar Finding New Ways To Sell Psychic Sam With John Romita Jr
Mark Millar is finding new ways to sell his new comic book Psychic Sam with John Romita Jr on Kickstarter
When he's not pretending that he's working for Marvel or DC Comics, Mark Millar has been pushing his new comic book series with John Romita Jr, Psychic Sam from his new company Side Hustle Comics. Such as the pencils for the Psychic Sam trading cards from the Kickstarter campaign. As Millar says, "When I was 7 we had Star Wars cards and Luke posing with a big smile, Han and Chewie pointing their weapons at us. When I was 8 we had the Christopher Reeve Superman cards and on the front we had Superman saving a train or standing beside the American flag. Now we have a man who hears voices in his head murdering the people the voices tell him to in various violent ways. I regard this as progress."

He has no Dark Horse or Netflix-funded PR campaign for this one. He's also been doing the Comicsgate YouTube guest circuit pushing the book to the vice signallers, and also had Rob Liefeld on his own Millar Time podcast last week. Sadly, Rob Liefeld did not mention how much he hates John Romita Jr's art and finds it "blocky, blocky, blocky". Maybe he could do that when he comes back on Millar Time? And Mark Millar reiterates that you can find him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, "but I don't bother with the other ones, which seemed to become the Phantom Zone for all the craziest mofos who left Twitter!" Is that what you call Blue Sky thinking? He must get some angry click-throughs from that one.
"SAM NICOLETTI hears a voice in his head the day before something bad happens. The voice tells him the name and address of a murderer and if he ignores this voice an innocent person dies. At first he thought he was crazy, but as the bodies start building up, he realises he needs to do something and, after a while, he hears about a murder that's SO HORRIFIC he needs to intervene. What would YOU do in this situation? You call the cops and they think you're crazy because nothing bad has happened yet. But unless you take matters into your own hands, innocent people are going to SUFFER."
