You know what else have fanbases? Two And A Half Men. Nickleback. Child pornography.

You'll notice I didn't call Millar a bad writer, because in fact, he's arguably quite good at what he does – tits, explosions and gore. But he also appears, from his work, to have serious issues with women, and with other races, and for the full house, with gay people. So, yeah, I'm not a fan.

But for the record, he was a gent to my sister.

Geekboy sniping is one thing, but you seem to have a personal ax to grind with Mr. Millar.

While he can be a self important/promoting douche, at least he CREATES something, puts it out there and has EARNED a fanbase. All you do is snipe and desperately (flop sweat showing the whole time) try to sound 'clever' COMMENTING on other people's creative impulse.

Somehow I think he'd be a more interesting dinner companion.

"Those who can't do, review…"

I'm sure you won't have the guts to post this, but you'll read it….

But yeah, all his other stuff is insanely over-the-top violent and stupid.

Mark Millar is the living proof it's better to be lucky than talented! He's like a soulless Frank Miller.
