(I apologize if this is the wrong forum,moderators can feel free to move it)

One step closer to the Red Razors adaptation everyone has been clamouring for.

This is.... news.

I hope that Millar enjoys the fortune he's managed to obtain, and that Netflix learns quickly from this terrible mistake.

I dunno man, Millar may not be my cup of scripting, but aside from his direct Hollywood successes, there's a good argument don't that the whole MCU stems from his Ultimates work. Might not be such a crazy idea for Netflix to give him a spin.

Not read any of his stuff other than 2000AD. Any good?

I thought all his creator-owned stuff for Marvel's Icon imprint was horrible. Cheap, mean-spirited, cynical and nasty. For some reason, the recent(ish) move to Image seems to have improved his output immeasurably. It's pretty much disposable, IMO, but far less unpleasant to read! I enjoyed both Huck and Empress quite a lot, to my considerable surprise.

His DC stuff,very.His Marvel stuff not so much.Solo,Millarworld stuff really varies.All over the place.

I've long thought that if Millar could lose the both desire to shock and the fundamentally spiteful streak that taints much of his writing, he'd be a fine writer. It's good to hear he may be doing just that. He's always been a crowd-pleaser, with a very sharp insight into what a mass audience enjoys, combined with the ability to give them what they want in a proficient, exciting manner - I just wish he didn't cater so often to their baser instincts.

Thanks. I don't read DC or Marvel, but see that a lot of his other stuff is under Image Comics who I like. Will check some of it out.

Mr Millar said it was only the third time in history that a company book company purchase on this scale had happened, with Warner Bros buying DC Comics in 1968, and Disney buying Marvel in 2009

Bitch, please. Rebellion buying Whizzer & Chips was a bigger deal.*


* ...and IPC to Mirror Group was definitely an even bigger deal than the lucrative Wanted franchise changing hands

Aren't you confusing him with his brother Frank?

Knowing Netflix,they probably decided Unfunnies would be a great adition to their animated lineup.Still,cant be worst then their Castlevania.

I loved The Ultimates titles he worked on and I can't stand superhero comics, if that's a recommendation.
