Millar worked with Steve McNiven's amazing art to bring "Civil War" to life, splitting Marvel Comics in half due to the Superhuman Registration Act (which required superheroes to be registered by the government) being pushed by Tony Stark. This saw Captain America's team go underground while Iron Man's team adopted a police-like approach in apprehe...
"Superman: Red Son"was a popular Elseworlds story that flipped the Superman mythos on its head. Millar (along with the art of Dave Johnson and Kilian Plunkett) scripted Superman crash-landing as a baby in the Soviet Union instead of America. He molded them as the ultimate superpower, establishing a very tension-filled utopia, which pushed Lex Lutho...
This book was very different from the "Kingsman" movie franchise, but it once more showed how cinema-ready Millar's stories were. He teamed up with artist, Dave Gibbons, whom he wanted to work with since his fanboy days of "Watchmen," as this spy-thriller focused on a troubled teen, Gary, being trained by his James Bond-esque uncle, Jack, to become...
In 2004, Millar partnered with artist, Peter Gross, to hash out a story (initially titled "Chosen") surrounding Jodie Christianson, a young man who was gauged as the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, as he navigated the world's religious and political scope, it turned out that his destiny was something much darker, and ending with a huge twis...
"Superior"was one of many Millar books published under Marvel's Icon imprint and played directly off of his infatuation with Superman. This story revolved around a 12 year-old, Simon Pooni, who was suffering from multiple sclerosis, only to be tricked into becoming the hero known as Superior. This was done by a demon monkey (named Ormon) who wanted...
"Old Man Logan" was a story outside of Marvel's main continuity that focused on Logan in a post-apocalyptic future. In this wasteland, he lost his family and was forced to go after the Hulk's grandkids (products of incest, as they were mothered by Hulk's cousin, She-Hulk), and Banner himself. Villains ruled over the wasteland with heroes barely ali...
Millar teamed up with Yu yet again for "Supercrooks" under the Icon imprint, crafting a story together about a bunch of super-powered crooks who decide to engage in one last emergency heist to help out one of their own. The four-issue story, plotted in 2012 with Nacho Vigalondo, felt like "Ocean's Eleven" meets "The Italian Job" with twists, turns ...
"Jupiter's Legacy"(initially titled "Jupiter's Children") was done at Image Comics and it found Millar dissecting generations of superheroes and families. It revolved around Chloe Sampson, a super-powered drug addict and socialite, whose parents were legendary superheroes. She and her lover, Hutch (whose dad was ironically the nemesis of the older ...
"Jenny Sparks: The Secret History of the Authority" came out in 2000 and ran for five issues. This limited series came out from DC Comics under the Wildstorm imprint, with pencils by John McCrea. It dealt with Jenny Sparks (who could control electricity) and her formative years in which she experienced things like "Stormwatch" and "The Authority," ...
"Nemesis" was one of Millar's most profane and violent books to date. He worked with McNiven to bring the gore under the Icon imprint once more, focusing on a terrorist who was playing mind games with Chief Inspector Blake Morrow (who felt like Commissioner Jim Gordon). Ironically, the Nemesis villain was done as a dark reflection of Batman, with t...
