Got #2! This book rules! laugh.gif Over the top? Yep. Do I care? Nope!

 

Sounds good. I've got mine queued up for after dinner. I really enjoyed the first one.

 

By the way, if you want Millar "over the top" read the other "Millarworld" book out right now, The Unfunnies. There are several scenes that I couldn't describe here- no matter how careful I was; without getting a strike. It's "Black Kiss" insane except it's darker, more twisted and features "funny animals."

It's NUTTY. Absolutely nutty. Avatar describes it this way:

 

"Welcome to the most depraved comic-book of the 21st century, a disturbing, four issue mini-series that blends traditional animation with photo-strip storytelling to produce one of the most compelling horror comics in years. The Unfunnies is a journey through the dark side of the human soul like Magnolia or Happiness, but told in the style of your favorite animated cartoon strips. Undoubtedly, the most uncompromising work Mark Millar has ever produced, The Unfunnies forms a pivotal part of the www.millarworld.biz December event along with WANTED from Top Cow, RUN! from Image and CHOSEN from Dark Horse Comics. All four Millarworld titles are subtly linked and aimed at an exclusively MATURE READERS audience, supported by massive features in the comic book and mainstream press."

 

I just read Wanted #2. Great stuff. His initiation, from start to finish, was out of control and I really liked "origin" of the Wanted universe. The secret surprise at the end was fun too.

Yeah, really solid issue from start to the surprise ending. Pretty brutal stuff during his initiation.

 

Did you pick up the re-print of #1? I think it's called the "Death's Head" reprint or something? Is there anything different about it that makesit worth picking up? (A Millar interview would be worth it!)

Sellout at your store too? My shop had about 10 copies left when I got there. Might have sold out by now. He said he had under ordered on #1 (10 copies of each cover), so he upped his order by alot this time.

 

Gotta remember to call them and get them to set aside "Unfunnies" for me.
