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
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

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
Leaders don't ever arrive. If we ever think we're done, we are done!
Mark Millar
Image
The past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.
Mark Millar
Image
