As Mark Millar puts it, I was on this live at 11.05 which meant I should have been in the studio around 10.15 Sadly, I got diverted to the pub around 8.15 and didn't make it to the BBC until 10.45 The make-up ladies could see me doing that drunken sweat and somehow, kindly, patched me[...]

At this point, it seems like it would be more newsworthy if one of Mark Millar's comic books is not picked up for adaptation But here is another to the list.

Title: Starlight #2 Writer: Mark Millar Artist: Goran Parlov Publisher: Image Comics Starlight #1 is my absolute favorite comic book of 2014 so far, and that's because of the[...]

CBR originally said that Nemesis Returns, the sequel to Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's Nemesis series from 2010 for Marvel Comics, would be published in September 2012.

By Abdulkareem Baba Aminu "I feel like an idiot," began the first issue of Mark Millar and Goran Parlov's Starlight, and that's exactly how I felt, realizing I wrongly imagined the comic to be a Flash Gordon clone (Let's face it: Early marketing positioned it as one) Published by Image Comics, it tells the story of[...]
