![]() Millar's most recent projects explore similar themes of the world of comics somehow invading us and how the main characters react to it, in wide-eyed whimsy and amazement (Marvel 1985) or embracing it as a self-destructive call to arms (Kick-Ass). It's no surprise the idea for Wanted came early in his childhood, after being told by an older sibling that all the heroes were real, but had died long ago. Stories like this are where Mark Millar truly shines. It's violent, funny as hell, and one of the best, most successful creator-owned comic book series of the 2000s. Before or after you check out the film, you owe it yourself to read it in all its graphic novel glory. From the first page to the last, Wanted is a big "Screw You" to your life, your job, your belongings, your relationships, and you. ![]()
