June Vigants writes for Bleeding Cool: The Reinventing Horror Panel this Friday at NYCC included Mark Millar, Frank J Barbiere, Matt Rosenberg, Jeremy Gardner, Justin Jordan, and Matt Pizzolo.

Jackson. Based upon comic book by Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) and directed by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class), the movie tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius The trailer makes it look like[...]

Illustration by Gill Hatcher. In two weeks, the people Scotland will vote on whether or not it should become an independent nation, severing its national ties from the United Kingdom, also comprised of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.   Comic creators have been rather backwards in coming forwards over the issue, with the most prominent supporter for the Yes[...]

In just over two weeks' time, the population of Scotland votes in a referendum to decide whether or not the country should secede from the rest of the United Kingdom and form its own nation state. But how will Scotland's favourite comic book son be voting? In 2012, Mark Millar wrote, 100 words on why I support Scottish[...]

This is followed by a sequence involving a pastiche of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom, which makes me suspect it's a shout-out (or possibly a dig – it's so hard to tell with Morrison) to fellow Scot and appalling writer Mark Millar. This is all very well, but what exactly is the overarching message to[...]

Mark Millar teased this last week. It wasn't, obviously Mark Millar cited a trip to London as delaying the it, promising the real announcement this week instead. But Bleeding Cool doesn't want to keep you waiting any longer We have, if nothing else, the name and creative team. Really, we have nothing else. The new comic book, presumably from[...]

Often for a reason. But, with Bleeding Cool running Grant Morrison's cover for Multiversity #1 (above) that felt like a great chance to show off the cover work of creators better known for their writing…  Jonathan Ross' cover for Revenge #1 Mark Millar's cover for Nemesis. Jonathan Hickman on Fantastic Four. Jim Shooter's cover to Rai #0.   Gerard Way's cover for[...]

Mark Millar has news for us on the very, very, end of Kick Ass Forever Until we get a Justice Forever spinoff, of course As the final pages from John Romita Jr make their way through to him… Woke up, made a cup of tea, switched on the computer and a big email from Johnny with the final[...]

This is how Mark Waid describes the origin of his new Thrillbent series, Insufferable. Mark Waid was Grant Morrison's editor on Doom Patrol, and worked with Morrison, Mark Millar and Tom Peyer on the abortive Superman HIVE pitch that caused such internal ructions at DC Comics that Waid was told he would never write the Superman[...]

By Abdulkareem Baba Aminu So Mark Millar's Starlight #4 dropped last week and of course I bought it I've been raving (and sometimes griping) about it since the first issue, but I didn't read the current one immediately As much as I loved the comic's debut, subsequent installments were, to me…lukewarm But I finally picked it[...]

Mark Millar talked to Jim Viscardi about his life in comics for two hours for Jim's Let's Talk Comics podcast. We heard a lot of the usual stories about Mark Millar's childhood, his early struggles in the medium and eventual monumental success through comics and movies But there were a few new nuggets in the mix. Including after The[...]

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[...]

Poor Mark. He doesn't have a lot of luck with solicitations. Kick Ass 2 #1 launched with a bit of a muddle. And now Starlight #5 missed its June

One year ago, Mark Millar asked a question on a now-deleted Millarworld thread. In the middle of the next big Millarworld book, coming out at the end of the year, and need a couple of quick checks. What courses are open to someone in prison on a massive drug offence? In the UK you can do a[...]

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.

While I can't wait for the next installment, I'm certainly hoping the creative team remains for as long as possible, serving us what's shaping up to be a delightfully dark book. 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.
