		<description>NOT the biggest Marvel fan, but I haveta say that Millar is one of my favorite writers, and he&#039;s definitely one of the very best writers Marvel has.  It&#039;s hard to believe he&#039;s so far ahead on everything and makes me kind of leary about what we&#039;ll be getting, but damn, that FF sounds stupendous.  What he&#039;s saying here though, all red herrings about Hulks and 3000 mile drives and stuff.  Not not not not not.  Don&#039;t believe it.</description>

		<description>&quot;On the other hand, Millar is so used to working the hype machine and being the Big Event Guy now that he’s forgotten that the rest of the comics universe still has to deal with the results of his stories once he’s laid waste to the characters, continuity, and rules of storytelling and moved on. So we get seven-plus months of Reed Richards as an utterly inhuman psuedo-Mengele, and then–wham!–he’s back to being good old Reed without any real explanation or resolution. Thanks, Mark&quot;

		<description>&quot;Does Millar care about ANYTHING else other than how much his books sell?&quot;

Should he care about anything else?  Millar has had critical acclaim in the past.  Didn&#039;t amount to too many sales, really.  As quickly as being &quot;hot&quot; in comics can fade, he&#039;d be a fool to not cash in on his name while it&#039;s still a hot commodity.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Mark Millar is the best writer of Marvel Comics at the moment.&lt;/i&gt;

Not in 2007. He&#039;s barely put anything out.</description>

		<description>Mark Millar is the best writer of Marvel Comics at the moment. People talk about Brubaker and Bendis (great talents of course) but it´s Millar who´s bringing the most entertaining stories. And that´s what its all about: ENTERTAINMENT
Keep up the great work Mark and I´ll keep buying!</description>

		<description>Okay, so Millar is getting us all riled up again. He&#039;s really just working the industry the best way he knows how: &quot;Sell the book.&quot; Has any book since the death of Superman had the kind of mainstream media coverage that Civil War had? Didn&#039;t think so. And whether you liked Civil War or not and whether you like Millar or not, you have to agree that his work on Civil War brought more new readers in comics shops than anything alse in a loooooong time. That includes the Spider-Man movies and the subsequent comic movie boom. Those folks generally would rather have a bunch of Spider-man related merchandise than an armful of non-Spider-man comics.

Back to my point... Millar hypes his stuff, it gets bought, and it&#039;s rarely as horrible as some (or most) of you make it out to be. Remember that first time you picked up and issue of &quot;The Ultimates&quot; and how good that was? 

Why don&#039;t we give this new book a chance before we ask for Millar&#039;s head?</description>

		<description>Death of the greatest Marvel hero = Stan Lee. Mark&#039;s going to smother him with a pillow. I don&#039;t like it either, but they&#039;ll do anything for sales now.

Also, about this two Hulk thing...a giant red monstrosity bursting through walls? Kraft Foods\Kool-Aid should sue.</description>

		<description>ALL you HATERS: STFU!! &gt;&gt;((

Millar is solid gold. I have as of yet not read anything by him, from Marvel, that I did not like. 

I&#039;m quite curious about this! What ever could it be?? I didn&#039;t even know he had this much stuff coming, seems like he&#039;s on a roll.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;He’s kind of a mix between Jemas and Quesada, along with his own “fact exageration” added into the mix. I was a bit dumbfounded when he said that Marvel hadn’t done to the X-Men what they had done to the Avengers, because that’s exactly what New X-Men was.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Millar’s acutely aware of how to work the hype machine–he’s learned well from Quesada, methinks.&lt;/i&gt;

Despite his hyperbole, though, he generally seems like a nice fellow and has produced some pretty entertaining comics (&lt;i&gt;Civil War&lt;/i&gt; could have been better, though). I think I&#039;ll give his mystery project a look, as well as his &lt;i&gt;Fantastic Four&lt;/i&gt; with Hitch.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not Millar&#039;s fault that JMS and other writers are writing Tony Stark like he&#039;s Iron Vader. I thought Millar was much harsher on Reed Richards (who, unlike Tony, was written totally out of character) but other writers have basically ignored it and it did no real lasting damage to Mr. Fantastic.</description>

		<description>Millar&#039;s acutely aware of how to work the hype machine--he&#039;s learned well from Quesada, methinks. That&#039;s why you constantly hear him talk about how much his books sell, because he knows it drives the fanboy cognoscenti mad to realize that he&#039;s successful *in spite* of them, rather than *because of* them.

Any success for comics really lifts all boats, so the fact that Civil War sold so well and brought attention back to the comics world is something Millar should be proud of. 

On the other hand, Millar is so used to working the hype machine and being the Big Event Guy now that he&#039;s forgotten that the rest of the comics universe still has to deal with the results of his stories once he&#039;s laid waste to the characters, continuity, and rules of storytelling and moved on. So we get seven-plus months of Reed Richards as an utterly inhuman psuedo-Mengele, and then--wham!--he&#039;s back to being good old Reed without any real explanation or resolution. Thanks, Mark.

And Tony Stark is all over the map thanks to Millar&#039;s laying the groundwork for Iron Fascist. It makes for a great character study, but it&#039;s inconsistent--is he a morally conflicted-but-decent guy using the ends to justify the means, the way Bendis and Brubaker write him? Or is he a mustache-twirling Machiavellian prick, a la JMS? Again, that&#039;s all due to Millar writing him so completely out of the norm and laying that as the foundation that other writers have to deal with.

So, until Millar remembers that he works in a shared universe and the toys aren&#039;t only his to play with, I&#039;ll be doing my part to take food out of his baby momma&#039;s and kids&#039; mouths by not buying his books.</description>

		<description>Graeme: &quot;So, Mike, do me a favor. I&#039;m going to Europe for awhile, but I really want my posts to generate traffic while I&#039;m gone. If you sense my Millar tease post is starting to lag in interest, somehow toss a positive Byrne post in the mix.&quot;

Mike: &quot;For good measure, in praising Byrne while trashing Millar, I&#039;ll bash all fanboys. That should do the trick.&quot;

(The above theoretical conversation IS a joke on my part, folks)

Seriously though, if someone could drag an insult of Harlan Ellison or Rob Liefeld into this thread we&#039;d have ourselves the never-ending post.</description>

		<description>hahahahahahaha

DAMN, with the love and hate people spit out at every turn, all that passion for one man&#039;s work. Millar really deserves his checks.

He&#039;s a walking comic event. How does he ever tell a small story again.</description>

		<description>and I have nothing at all against Millars work, usually enjoy it, though Civil War was like Ultimate Crisis. unneeded and too many tie ins that relapsed way too much with no adding to the story, just detractions abound</description>

		<description>Byrn knows what beginnings middles and ends to stories as well as well laid out and well drawn comics, dynamics and drama. unlike most of the flavors of the monthes today. call me a suck up if you want but give me a Byrne drawn comic over 90% of the artists working today</description>

		<description>Does Millar care about ANYTHING else other than how much his books sell?

He is indeed the paragon of comic book celebrity: he does not want to be a good writer, or even just a writer, or anything like. He just want to sell out and be &#039;famous&#039;.

He&#039;s all about hype and money.

How sad.

Please, somebody give him his own reality show (I&#039;m sure he&#039;d LOVE that), and good riddance.</description>

		<description>Hey, everyone, &quot;Lame&quot; cares. Kinda puts it all in perspective, doesn&#039;t it?

Millar is a vastly overrated, pompous @$$, too.</description>

		<description>How in the **** can people get excited over &quot;Events&quot; when they constantly happen?!

I hope all of these events eventually put comic books into a coma-like state...like what the 90&#039;s almost did.</description>
