Superior Issue 1 By Mark Millar and Leinil Yu. Marvel Icon Last week I praised at least a partial return to form for Brian Michael Bendis with Scarlet. And today, it’s Mark Millar’s turn for review. But sadly, not his turn for a return to form. Not with this flabby, far too short, far too [...]

New trailer for Mark Millar/John Romita Jr’s Kick Ass, soon to be a Sun baiting, Daily Mail “ban this filth” headline generating movie from director Matthew Vaughan. Obviously you’re not stupid, so you realise it’s an 18 trailer, adults only, gratuitous swearing and gore throughout. And, rather bizarrely and brilliantly, soundtracked by The Banana Splits. [...]

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 & Ultimate Avengers #1 by Bendis, Lafuente (Spider-Man), Millar, Pacheco, Miki (Avengers) Marvel Comics I really haven’t followed what’s been going on in Marvel’s Ultimate Universe for quite a while.
