Today's post is going to cover Mark and the work he's done over the years. Breaking into the business in the late 80's writing Trident Comics book Saviour, Millar then moved onto 200o AD, Sonic the Comic and Crisis. In 1994, Millar was hired by DC and began writing for Swamp Thing. In 2000, Millar had his big break, replacing Warren Ellis on The Authority for WildStorm. Due to DC censoring the violence in Authority after 9/11, Millar left the company. His most famous work for DC is the Superman: Red Son story in which The Man of Steel's rocket lands in the Ukraine and he becomes the champion of the Communist Party. Joining Marvel's fold, he created the Ultimate X-Men book for Marvel's Ultimate line, wrote the first six issues of Ultimate Fantastic Four which allowed him to create the Marvel Zombies line. He wrote the plot for Marvel's Civil War series, Marvel 1985 and Old Man Logan. His most famous work to date is the 12 issue mini-series Kick-Ass, in which a kid in the real world becomes a superhero for the heck of it, then gets caught in a war between two inspired heroes Big Daddy and Hit Girl and the Mob. Millar is currently writing the story for the second Kick-Ass series, Kick-Ass 2. To Mr. Millar I have only one thing to say, your work rocks and speaks volumes about your love for this stuff.
