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.

The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.

What I do with everything is take things out of real life. You encounter all sorts of stories. It's a lot of your friends and family, sometimes there's quite sad episodes in their life and everything. So just little things I've picked up along the years always find a way into all of my stories.

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
Others control our opportunities, we control our readiness.
Mark Millar
Image
I'm just running through this list of potential nannies and wondered if we should go for a superhero this time. Do you think Wolverine would be interested? He seems to be on every other team right now.
Mark Millar
Image
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.

Artists, no matter how good their intentions, are always slower than they think.
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.

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

Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.
