Mark Millar's CLINT

[Mardroid]

Wanted to see out Turf, but it feels like it's been running forever. Thought it was only a four issue miniseries?

If it helps, I think it is drawing to an end.

I was genuinely embarrassed handing the issue with The Pro on the cover to the woman at the till in WH Smiths...

Heh. I know the issue you mean. I felt a bit embarrassed too, although I think it was a fella who served me, so it wasn't so bad.

I've still been getting Clint (when I can find it) but haven't got #10 yet. I've been considering knocking it on the head, Radiator put it in perfect context there. I'd rather buy a trade than a couple of issues of it. Initially I found it exciting because I figured it would open my eyes to some stuff I didn't know about, but it's hardly covering a wide range of stuff with it being the Mark Millar show give or take a couple of celebrity stories. Will probably get to the end of Turf (or just borrow the last parts from a friend).

Has anything much really happened with KA2? I can't help but wonder how much longer clint can keep going ..

[Eric Plumrose]

For anyone wot might be interested, the current issue's asking for submissions. Nothing online as far as I've been bothered to look so you'll just have to FLiCK through a copy.

CLiNT is still a great read, although the fucking abysmal Frankie Boyle strip Rex Roys is back this issue.

They have finally admitted it's a comic, and ditched the text stuff for the most part. Next issue there will be a big interview with Garth Ennis, this issue it's Millar (surprise!) and Dave Gibbons, who are pushing their Secret Service collaboartion due next year.

I know I seem to be in a minority round these parts, but I love Millar's stuff, and am enjoying CLiNT every month or so. From next issue KA2 is going full length as well, which will be nice. It's much darker than the first and it willbe interesting to see how a film version would go.

Submissions-wise, they want you to produce a new strip, in colour. Send a full outline and breakdown of the plot (Spoil it totally) plus 6 pages of completed art and lettering.

Is apparently getting a relaunch in May. Still looks much of a muchness?

Interesting. Wonder if this is a 'last ditch attempt'. I can't see it as a positive sign of a comic doing well. Interesting that the i has had the dot changed in colour, toning down the 'Cunt' effect.

From Mark at MillarWorld:

Just the second volume. We're relaunching every eighteen months or so like I do with Kick-Ass, Nemesis, etc.

More later. A press release just went out, but interviews still a week or two away. Stay tuned.

Oh, this is just the icing on the cake really:

The desire to recruit new talent also seemed to dry up, with some people who were told their stories had been bought over a year ago, reporting that they have had no contact with the magazine since, save for the confirmation of their e-mail address.

So they've basically just fucked off everyone who contributed material, and haven't even the decency to offer an explanation? What a louse Millar is for pulling something like this, to claim that his intention was to launch new UK comics talent, and then to just turn round and go "Oh no, actually, it's just going to be stuff by me and my showbiz mates. Ta ta!"  Fuck him and his shitty comics.

To be fair, it's not Millar's fault. It's Titan ublishing's fault, they the guys who actually make CLiNT!!!

Maybe it's time for '2000ad featuring Clint'. Lol.

[Steve Green]

Gave up on it a few issues back.

Wonder if it will survive another year?

Millar's the guy who commissioned all the work.

Haven't seen any issues for a while, but it definitely seems to have lost the 'lad's mag' look.

[Alski]

the Lads Mag thing went out of the window and they decided that yes, it actually is a comic.

They printed my letter this issue, basically calling Frankie Boyle a cunt, which was nice. Can't stand Rex Royd, although the rest is good.

Basically I enjoy it, and it's good value, and this issue has a surprisingly good, large Marvel Comics interview section.
