Mark Millar Archives

The first movie was very well received and arguably was the movie that really solidified Matthew Vaughn as a top tier director (though his previous features of Stardust and Layer Cake are very good). Mark Millar signed a deal earlier this year to bring properties to Netflix However, the properties of Kingsman and Kick-Ass were not[...]

When Netflix acquired Millarworld, it cut out the middleman in the "Mark Millar comes up with comic idea, Mark Millar sells comic idea to studio, Mark Millar comic becomes movie" process (somewhere in there, maybe Millar actually makes the comic, too) So when Millar revealed last week that he would soon reveal his first new[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported on Mark Millar's announcement that he will soon make an announcement about his first new comic book since Millarworld was acquired by Netflix Millar said that he had asked "the best artist in the industry" to draw the book, and so we naturally assumed that he must be talking about Sir[...]

Mark Millar has revealed that he will reveal his next comic book project this weekend, and he's also revealed who will be drawing it Not by name, of course, but by designation: the best artist in the industry Could it possibly be anyone other than Sir Robert Liefeld? We think not! The news was revealed in[...]

So this is a story I have been following for seventeen years, since the original publication of The Authority #13 by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely in 2000. We recently looked at the Wildstorm Oral History account of what went down in those days. John Layman: All these issues were in the pipeline including this issue where[...]

Well, back at San Diego Comic-Con, Capullo hinted[...]

When it comes to Superman, Mark Millar is well known for the Elseworlds series Red Son, featuring a Superman who landed in the USSR rather than the USA, which has been adapted and spun off in all manner of forms And for his run on Superman Adventures, as a young writer, an all-ages series that[...]

When Mark Millar released a statement on the acquisition of Millarworld by Netflix, he compared it to Disney buying Marvel But as Bleeding Cool Rumormonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston pointed out, unlike the $4 billion Marvel sale, the Millarworld sale didn't explicitly mention money changing hands. "While the words 'sale' and 'buy' were commonplace, the word used in[...]

Mark Millar, co-creator of the comic book The Unfunnies, has issued a statement on the announcement that Netflix has bought Millarworld, his publishing imprint through Marvel Comics, Top Cow, Dark Horse, Image Comics and Avatar Press that has put out everything from Kick-Ass to Superior to Wanted to Kingsman — and yes, The Unfunnies, the one[...]

Claire and I are here to make comics," Nitz continued as a chorus sang America The Beautiful behind him and a single tear rolled down the cheek of Mark Millar "We are sequential storytellers We want to knock your socks off with a comic the way Walt Simonson or Howard Chaykin or Jim Starlin knocked[...]

In the year 2000, DC Comics started censoring The Authority by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, the flagship comic book from Wildstorm, the Jim Lee-started publisher that DC Comics had purchased. We recently looked at the Wildstorm Oral History account of what went down in those days. David Baron: They didn't quite like it[...]

Like one of those people who declare that the entire week surrounding their birthday is part of a prolonged birthday celebration, publisher Image Comics

It was a pleasant surprise to find people that really knew what they wanted to do and had a cool vision, and at the same time let me do what I do best. It makes perfect sense that he got to do this, since he drew and designed the look for Old Man Logan with Mark[...]

Spider-Woman doesn't web swing! @nickspencer why pic.twitter.com/QbzoiPMprs — Dylan/Auram 🍒 (@AuramAlexander) April 26, 2017 Looking for the No-Prize, Spencer responded: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/857240979593613312 But superstar writer Mark Millar had[...]

Following the release of the trailer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle, superstar comics writer Mark Millar has announced a new Kingsman comic book, Kingsman: The Red Diamond via Twitter. This would probably be a good time to mention that a new Kingsman comic starts in September too Kingsman: The Red Diamond More later :) — Mark Millar[...]

In a new adventure that tests their agents' strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that's becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy… In Theaters – September 22, 2017 Written by Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn, based[...]

Entertainment Weekly has a batch of photos offering us the first glimpse of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the follow-up to 2014's Kingsman: The Secret Service, which was itself based on the comic book The Secret Service by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, a big break for Millar who isn't normally known for having his comics[...]

The WildStorm Oral History has been released. A massive collection of interviews with people who worked at or worked for Jim Lee's WildStorm Studios in

In an interesting twist on the original Old Man Logan comics by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, where Logan is tricked into slaughtering all of the X-Men by second-rate Spider-Man villain Mysterio (somehow), in the movie, it is implied that Professor Xavier killed them all, in one of, if not his very first, seizures that[...]

Mark Millar, the man who objectively ruined superhero comics by penning the first Civil War and setting Marvel down the path of heroes fighting heroes in never-ending super-mega-crossover events until none of the heroes are likeable anymore, penned an essay on his blog listing his top ten movies of the year, as well as calling[...]

This was Matthew Vaughn taking his second Mark Millar property after Kick-Ass, and doing that Matthew Vaughn thing of making it pretty good. The second is hotly anticipated too, but sadly I have some bad news for you While Alien: Covenant jumped up from October to May last night, it seems it was at the expense of[...]

We've told you about Marvel and DC's balls and the emptying of them, and Mark Millar's cat wanted to tell us about his, too, well, there's balls aplenty here, too Pizzazz gives them the beginning of her plan to get at Jem, and, well, Jetta doesn't really like the sound of it, so she just lays it[...]

A movie adaption of Mark Millar's Superior has been in the works for quite some time, with the film changing hands and personnel a couple times. It is still in the works though, and Millar has some casting ideas for it After watching Trainwreck, the comic writer tweeted this out, saying he found John Cena so[...]

This really does bring the Millarworld together. And none of them are by Mark Millar or any of the associated artists The creative gigs were won as part of a competition from newbie comic creators Which already feels the head with horror. But right from the bat, however, it is worth pointing put that the strips look[...]

Might be worth binge reading. Bit, after skimming the summaries and listening to the commentaries, I am put in mind of a two page comic created by Mark Millar and Sean Phillips for the Sunday Herald over ten years ago. It seems to be pretty accurate to the Chilcot findings…   Today saw the release of the Chilcot[...]

Peculiarly, previews of Jupiter's Legacy Vol 2 #1 by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely  feature the final pages of this issue and, presumably, subsequent pages of issue 2. But it's one of the real opening pages of the new issue published today from Image Comics, that sets up much of what is happening, both in plot[...]
