Big Game is the new comic book series owned by Netflix, written by Mark Millar, drawn by Pepe Larraz and published by Image Comics (and why do I get the feeling that Mark Millar really wanted to call the comic Bug Hunt?). In which Mark Millar is mashing up all his Millarworld comic books – even Sharkey – but not War Heroes or The Unfunnies, it seems. And in the second issue, out last week, Mark Millar does what's known as killing his children, going through characters old and new. But who lives and who dies?

Well, that would be the Chrononauts, the stoner scientist time travellers Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly, alongside the world's most intelligent man and businessman, Edison Crane , Prodigy and Bobbie Griffin, the superhero who survived from the world before the Fraternity killed all the superheroes and made the world forget.

And then there are the Ambassadors.

The superheroic country themed superheroes who operate as an international rescue squad like Thunderbirds, independent of world government.

And who Nemesis rips though, until they are all gone.

And has plans for The Night Club and Huck. But not everyone dies. Not everyone. Hit-Girl is being hunted courtesy of her obsessions.

And from this we know that she doesn't read DC Comics, which come out on a Tuesday.

Time has aged her, and she has a Vote Jodie badge, she may have supported a different President to one one elected now. But she is saved from assassination by another Millarworlder.

Eggsy from Secret Service/The Kingsman, who may just be clued up about what The Fraternity and Nemesis are up to… looks they may be teaming up in issues to come… well, I guess someone has to use the Chrononauts time machine to try and put everything back in issue 3…
