At the Glasgow Comic Con over the weekend, Mark did a long signing session and a panel with Emma Beeby, Gordon Rennie, Mark Millar and Jim Alexander And he was on form. When asked about the current publishing operations of Marvel and DC, transcribed by Comic Book Grrrl, he replied; But I understand how it works, because[...]

URLWatch: After yesterday's story about the malformed URL on the screencap at the end of the Green Lantern movie, DC have fixed it so that the URL now redirects to the page they wanted it to in the first place. You're welcome. MillarWatch: Mark Millar is looking for an "A List artist" And taking suggestions. DreddWatch: Day Of[...]

But you're not getting my Giant Sized X-Men #1. More of a Mark Millar fan, tbh. Not only have I read it – I read it when it was first published in Warrior And I still have the issues. When I was 12, I asked my teacher if I could do a project on Doctor Who "Only in[...]

He said lots of other things too, about X-Men First Class, his super spy project with Mark Millar, and more Speaking of, it was a big X-Men First class day on BC, with more coming in the morning Until then, make sure you've seen all of this: Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Colleen Doran Vs[...]

At the time I speculated this may be the long-expected Olympus project from both Hitch and oft-collaborator Mark Millar. Turns out that was wrong While I don't have a title pitch or a synopsis, I'm told by the kind of person who should know that Bryan Hitch's project will written by British broadcaster and comedian, Jonathan[...]

And as a result, with a bunch of text articles,  no room for any newcomer's strip. Kick Ass 2 from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr seems like it so wants to the the poster book for the Real Life Super Hero movement as more and more people join the team, mirroring real real life super[...]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMYpUpRX_ns[/youtube] We mentioned this story last week, when Rupert Murdoch's Scottish Sun put First Minister of Scotland and Scottish Nationalist[...]

Here is David LaFuente's page from the Guinness World Records breaking version of Superior, created at Kapow this past weekend. Expect a number of these

At the Kapow Comic Con last weekend, the people from the Guinness Book Of World Records were by to monitor two world record attempts, for the fastest

And I'd made sure to thank the volunteers at the show who had organised a professional, clear and well structured show, dealing with all the vagaries that such shows throw at them with calmness, sanity and ease. And there were your actual announcements, both from Mark Millar and friends, but also Marvel, Rebellion and the TV[...]

 But there was a burst of announcements from the panels of Kapow today, about Mark Millar, Marvel, Movie X, and more Here's what caught people's attention today: Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Hit Girl from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr, Supercrooks from Mark Millar and Leinil Yu Two new Millarworld books announced at Millarworld, a Hit Girl series[...]

Titan, Forbidden Planet and Kapow's Nick Landau interviewed Mark Millar and Stewart Lee – the rest of the panellists not making it, Frankie Boyle named as someone who "couldn't be arsed", though of course this did coincide with the negative newspaper coverage recently But the back and forth between Mark and Stewart was pretty[...]

Clicky for biggy. So I'll be at table 86, feel free to pop by and say hi, or just grab me as I run past. Bleeding Cool's Brendon Connelly will also be

But what does it have in common with Kick Ass, the comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr or the movie by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman? Well, courtesy of Jackie Almeda comes this description; Protagonist overly influenced by narratives of heroic adventures heads out into the real world, where he immediately catches a vicious beating[...]

Last Mortal follows a pair of pals, too, centering on a down-on-his-luck ne'er-do-well named Alec. ValentineWatch: Comics Alliance creates Mark Millar Valentine's Day cards – even if they ignore Nemesis continuity to do so I dunno, kids these days… SmallGovernmentWatch: Japan looks to self-sufficiency amongst its people; "If we expect the country to take care of us, we[...]

Yes, just because it's the first chapter of the Death of Spider-Man arc, don't expect it to actually have Spider-Man in it, in any shape or form. Leinil Yu has returned to Mark Millar's four-series strong arc on the Ultimates books, replacing the previously unknown planned artist who dropped out With Superior also shipping on a[...]

And you just know that Mark Millar knows it… Very brief numbercrunching Comics page content: 69 Previously unpublished comics page content: 7 Blimey, that's not much: Okay, enough with the numbercrunching. A lack of Frankie Boyle's Rex Royd is blamed on his busy work schedule – though why his co-writer Jim Muir (Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolf III) can't pick[...]

Well trust Mark Millar to take that and spin the opposite, while writing a fairly faithful Superman story. We even get a local reporter putting herself in a perilous position just so that she can meet the superhero in question for an interview – although Maddie Knox has far more drive than even Lois Lane, in[...]

NEMESIS 4 MARK MILLAR! All you snobby whiners who judged issue one as mindless shock-schlock, the conclusion had so many smart crazy twists I'm glad you're NOT reading it! You're not worthy! (and do you walk out of a movie if the first 15 minutes are all action?) #2 AVENGERS[...]

Here's a rule. If compiling a Top 100 Power List or whatever, get the participants' names right. Especially if it's the number one person. Okay, they get

Word from attendees from the Mark Millar/Frank Quitely soiree at Glasgow's Plan B Books graphic novel store are filtering in… So what do we know? Well, despite much speculation, there is no Mark Millar/Frank Quitely project At least not yet And certainly not being announced on Monday.

Whatever Mark Millar's big comics announcement was, it was meant to take place yesterday, from some US company – until he was told that this wasn't going to happen on Thanksgiving, so it's been pushed back till Monday. Tonight, however, Mark Millar and Frank Quitely had arranged to hold court in the new graphic novel store[...]
