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

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.

Image
The heart is a muscle, and you strengthen muscles by using them. The more I lead with my heart, the stronger it gets.
Mark Millar
Image
I don't know, maybe it's just timely, or maybe it's the fact that I live in a house with four women, but I just find my thoughts kind of skewing that direction at the moment.
Mark Millar
Image
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.

Image
The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.
Mark Millar
Image
I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
Mark Millar
Image
I love the fact that they [girls ]are into Superman and Green Lantern and Batman and everything, and they really do have all those toys as well, but I don't want all their role models to be men.

Image
Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.
Mark Millar
Image
He [Stuart Immonen] and I have known each other over email for 18, 19 years or something, so to finally work with him is like kissing the girl that you always wanted to kiss.

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.

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.
