Name The Lead Of Mark Millar's New Title For Charity

Name him Kick-Butt? (Via)

Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Nemesis, Civil War), Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) & Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) held a really cool auction a few days ago. All to name a super villain in the new Mark Miller/Matthew Vaughn book.

Not much is known about The Secret Service other than Millar cooked it up with Matthew Vaughn, whose MARV Films has the movie rights to, and got Dave Gibbons for the art). In the end, the bidder won at $5,100, all going to charity. I love Mark Millar and I grew up reading comics Dave Gibbons drew (especially Watchmen) so I'm really excited for this project. Can it live to my expectations? Kick-Ass 2 has lost my interest so far, but perhaps something new in Mark Millar's style will change things up. We shall see soon enough.

Mark Millar Leaves Marvel

So, it seems that Mark Millar is leaving Marvel to make sure that his comic empire is successful. Can you blame the guy? Kick-ass & Nemesis has proved how popular the guy can be, so why not? He's a great writer, and I'm excited to see what Millarworld can provide for the comic community. But in his own words?

Well, I just finished the dialogue on my last ever script for Marvel. It was a lot of fun, but I'm full-time on Millarworld as of today.Huge thanks to all the guys I worked with on Ultimates 1&2, Civil War, Old Man Logan, Enemy of the State, Ultimate X-Men, 1985, etc, etc. It's been an amazing experience and I'm stealing all the best ones to work with my on creator-owned anyway :) In the next 12 months: Kick-Ass 2, Nemesis 2, Supercrooks, Superior, the Dave Gibbons project, the Frank Quitely project and HIT-GIRL!! I'm going to miss the lads, the best editorial team in the biz, but there comes a time when every boy needs to start his OWN media empire!!

It's true, it's what Awesome-Robo was founded on. We shall see what shall become of this empire, but after Kapow! I only wish him well. He is such a nice guy and he truly deserves success.
