I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
Mark Millar
Image
Their argument, and I think it's a correct one, is that they'll make more money from the trades and the hardcovers if nobody messes with the creative team.
Mark Millar
Image
In the U.S., Superman or Batman or something, the law-enforcement people, are the most famous comic characters. Americans have a respect, I think, for badges and a respect for uniforms. I think that's, in some ways, quite a nice thing, but it can be dangerous, too, because it can obviously be abused.

I'm honestly as happy writing Superman Adventures as I am writing Wanted.
Mark Millar
Image
Ever since 1980, sci-fi has generally been more Bladerunner than Star Wars. People talk about Star Wars being the most influential movie of all time and creating the blockbuster along with Jaws and that sort of thing, but really there's not been a space opera that anyone can go and see.

When you expect the best from people, you will often see more in them than they see in themselves.

The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.

Wanted has gone into second, third and fourth printings of the individual issues and the north American printings of Wanted #1 are now close to 100,000.

She was like John Rambo meets Polly Pocket Dakota Fanning crossed with Death Wish 4.
Mark Millar

Maybe in this Star Wars world maybe subconsciously I was preparing myself. But I've just found all of my ideas I've been coming up with are big sci-fi things, and I wanted to do a big epic, a big space opera, and this is it. This is mine.
Mark Millar
Image
I'm a huge fan of the Rod Serling sci-fi, where they could take the most odd and enormous ideas but ground them in something very human.
Mark Millar
Image
Others control our opportunities, we control our readiness.
Mark Millar
Image
Comic artists have always been part of my social circle. I just like hanging out with artists, and I always see them at conventions or a store signing or something. Hey, we should do something together.
Mark Millar
Image
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.
Mark Millar
Image
Leaders don't ever arrive. If we ever think we're done, we are done!
Mark Millar
Image
The highest form of leadership is one in which a leader raises up other leaders - not as an accident, but as a result of conscious effort.
Mark Millar
Image
I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.
Mark Millar
Image
I wanted to portray very, very dark subject matter and a deceptively complex story in the brightest colours and simplest lines possible to leave the readers reeling.
Mark Millar
Image
The ultimate [act] that would be the taboo, to show how bad some villain is, was to have somebody being raped, you know? I don't really think it matters. It's the same as, like, a decapitation. It's just a horrible act to show that somebody's a bad guy.
