Mark Millar has just announced that he is taking a break sometime next year to work on either a new DC or Marvel miniseries. Apparently he has the option to do either.
The DC mini would be a Superman "epic" he's been dying to do. The Marvel mini would be "important" universe-wise.
He wants to do one before heading into Starlight 2 or Huck 2. Which should he should choose?
WOW, that was a classic SUPERMAN story. In a fucking hitman and sixpack. It's as classic as Red Son, you delusional wanker.
Jacob Perez
Why do edgy writers all like and write a good Superman?
Nathaniel Ortiz
because they're stupid
Caleb Baker
Please keep him Marvel!
Evan Cook
While I like a lot of his Marble shit >"important" universe-wise usually means terrible event bullshit, so fingers crossed for Best Big Blue Boy.
Charles Clark
On one hand, he's a massive Supeman fan (it's kinda funny how so many ''edgy'' writers prefer Supes to broody characters like Batman), so I want to see him do that. Then again, we've seen how well he handles ''important'' Marvel stories. Nigh on everyone in Civil War was out of character, so keep him away from any big crossovers. However, I'd like to see how he handles Marvel Cosmic.
Jonathan Sanders
Any opinions on Huck Sup Forumsmrades?
>Starlight 2 Mixed feelings, I liked it, especially Parlov's art, but does it really need a sequel? also >Millar sequels
Logan Bennett
Not as bad as Chrononauts, but still really unimpressive as a story.
Starlight didn't need a sequel, but the title is "The Last Days of Planet Earth" and that is just...really exciting. Only Millar sequel I'm really into is American Jesus 2: Messiah
Dylan Powell
Marvel might be the Star Wars/Marvel crossover comic he said he had an idea for.
But really, who wouldn't have an idea for that? Who wouldn't want to write that? It's guaranteed to be #1 no matter what's actually on the pages. It could be a rap battle between Vader and Cannonball and people would buy it.
Easton Davis
>Cannonball wrong neighnorhood mugga
But you're right. As a matter of fact, add some memes, a blink to social media users, some variants, and you're set.
Kevin Cruz
>It's as classic as Red Son
Which is a classic.
Daniel Diaz
. . .
Nathan Bell
I think it was a sarcasm, albeit porrly written
Anthony Lewis
Read more Superman comics, idiot.
Dominic Campbell
I thought he was blacklisted from DC for calling Paul Levitz a child rapist.
Wyatt Brooks
Levitz isn't around anymore and DC is clearly in "we need to make money" mode right now.
Oliver Lewis
>The DC mini would be a Superman "epic" he's been dying to do.
Superman Skullfucks A Baby For A Hundred Pages: A Mark Millar Masterpiece
Samuel Moore
But at the end it turns out the baby was Joe Chill all along and a lifetime of superdick to the skull twisted his mind and caused him to embrace the life of a criminal.
Grayson Sanchez
You have shit taste. Superman Adventures is the greatest and purest representation of the character ever published.
Cooper Williams
>Mark Millar Superman epic So that film trilogy he pitched years ago in comic form? Because I'd be done for that.
Ryan Davis
For Ennis is that Superman gets the best of him. Millar in the other hand is a huge superman fanboy and he is actually a really nice guy. The only reason he wrote so many edgy stuff was because he isn't able to write evil things and villains without going over the top. To explain this better imagine a woman writing a male character but she doesn't know how men are so she makes an over the top version of a macho kind of character
Ryder Reyes
Wasn't all of Millar's good shit ghost written for him by Grant Morrison?
Christopher Wright
That's Mark Millar?
I thought it was Keith Harris
Elijah Jones
Marvel. Superbitches don't deserve anything
Chase Ward
Nope. Mark likes Superman.
Xavier Hill
>Millar on Supes again yes please
Dylan Cruz
It's not like Superman fans have high standards anyway, they even praise American Alien here.
Jayden Clark
Levitz is still writing Dr Fate you dumb cunt.
Ian Long
RIP
Blake Martinez
>Which should he should choose? eating gluten-rich food until his Crohn's makes him shit blood
Mason Anderson
Agreed. It's some of Mark Waid's best ghostwriting.
Sebastian Barnes
You like or not Millar is one of the best guys in the industry to make heart warming comics (superior, starlight, Huck and even parts of his authority run). He is one of the esential sups fanboys. They even worked together(waid, millar and grant) in the 90s to make a comic of superman but in the end they splitted for differences
Jacob Stewart
>marvel panicking over Rebirth and CW2 is real >so they throw a Star Wars/Marvel crossover together to maintain their lead I could believe it.
Jason Green
...
Lincoln Watson
Morrison wrote red son.
Isaiah Thomas
Mark also likes being retardedly edgy for the sake of it.
Nathaniel Mitchell
>You like or not Millar is one of the best guys in the industry to make heart warming comics
Are you fucking joking? He's one of the WORST there is. He has no idea how human emotions work, other than SHOCK! HORROR! RED SKULL THROWS A BABY OUT OF THE WINDOW! ARE YOU SHOCKED YET?!!!
Julian Powell
He mad Bendis did Civil War II
Juan Rodriguez
>using Ultimate Avengers as a baseline Try harder
Carter Ross
But Superman seems like the thing right? Especially since the main books are in that mid tier Tomasi/Gleason/Jurgens range. Millar doing a classic heroic Superman thing could def be a good catch for Rebirth
Kevin Rivera
Yeah the main books look like trash. Millar on Superman would actually give me reason to care about Rebirth Superman if it's in-continuity.
Xavier Russell
is anything "important universe wise" in Marvel?
Juan Williams
Return of Wolverine?
Daniel Collins
He's going to do the Marvel one because Marvel will offer more money.
Jose Allen
Is there any evidence for this? I know its public record that Morrison ghostwrit some of his Authority issues.
Isaac Bennett
Mark Waid can't write Superman to save his life.
James Edwards
I'm trying to think of how he can get an All Star title like Snyder
All Star Lois and Clark All Star Man of Tomorrow
Michael Russell
Well if he let someone ghostwrite for him before it stands to reason he'd do it again cause why not?
Luke Torres
He will do DC just to piss off Morrison
Ryan Russell
The request was for evidence, not speculation.
Jonathan Gomez
Why aren't Morrison and him "friends" again?
Luis Peterson
What's with traditionally edgy writers, such as Millar and Ennis, toning down and loving Superman unironically?
Jack White
It makes them feel better about themselves.
>see? I like Superman so I am not a bad person! Now let's go back and write decapitaded babies, womb bombs and other super edgy and tryhard stuff
Just like mobsters being religious and believing in Jesus
Matthew Rivera
>projecting
Jayden Torres
>Superman Adventures is the greatest and purest representation of the character ever published.
It really, honestly is. Scott McCloud and Mark Millar both had fantastic runs on that book.
Jose Price
Just asking here because its a Millar thread But does anyone know where I can find scans of some Millar comics like Supercrooks, Superior, Kingsman etc?
Wyatt Jones
I really want to see his Super-epic. He's get to bring all the toys out of the toy box.
Everyone seems to agree he should choose the Super-epic. No question. Mark fucking loves Superman and it shows. The characters brings the best out of him.
I'm just curious about the Marvel thing but it seems like it can wait.
Cooper Green
I just want to know what was in Millar's Superman note books!!!!
I dont even want to read his comics. Just let me see whats in the note books
Jayden Jackson
God, no. Let it die. Marvel editorial can't even keep track of one universe, don't make them try to do two again.
Josiah Lee
Something to do with the Authority issue Morrison ghostwrote and Millar being upset when Morrison publicly brought up the ghostwriting. Add in Millar's absurd level of success in comparison to Morrison despite being Morrison's protege and comic writer drama
