I hope the series succeeds and I absolutely love the title.

Whilst I'm not Millar's greatest fan I do enjoy his work and I love how he has this knack for making things happen!

I live in the UK and I'll definitely be buying this at my Tesco's and telling my friends they should too!

I grew up with a strong comics scene over here (mainly Eagle, Battle, 2000ad and The Beano!) but it has died in recent years. Lets hope this has a trickle effect down through the market and revives comics as a valid leisure read rather than an obscure hobby.

Not a bad idea overall, but... I'm sure the lettering of that title looked much cleverer in his head.

I've pretty much hated everything Mark Millar's done since Superman: Red Son, so would I be a whore if I was thinking about submitting something?

[Ben Akers]

Just come up with an idea that mocks legions of comics fans and he'll greenlight the story in heartbeat.

Probably wouldn't mention that in your pitch.

I have just the thing too.

Yeah. I probably shouldn't right?

The mag is a good idea, but some of his characters are straight rip-offs. He doesn't even bother to deny it and instead uses that fact to promote his books. Nemesis = Batman+The Joker and Superior = Superman + Marvel Comics.

I think he's brilliant.

Seems to work though.

That's true, but the man has to have more original ideas, or is he just going to release Kick-Ass 3, 4, 5?

Anyways, I wish him luck, however I'll be reading that other Scottish writer who gets to play with the real Batman.

This should be copyed in the states! sounds awesome!

The logo for Mark Millar's CLiNT looks a lot like the word....wait a minute...Mark Millar you devil!

Batman isn't real.

Seriously though Batman is as derivative as they come. He's a modern day Zorro and owes a lot to pulp characters from the 30s. He just outlasted all of those characters.
