    Default Millarworld’s Big Game Event Discussion

    Apologies if there is already a thread but I wanted to talk about another creator at image other then Kyle Higgins supermassive universe who is attempting to do a big crossover event. That being Mark Millar with Pepe Larraz (recently of X-men) Big Game, an event spinning out of recent series by Millar and other artists, starring characters from all across Millar’s work.

    Because apparently the idea is that Night Club (teenage Vampires being superheroes), Nemesis: Reloaded, the Ambassadors, and the fourth volume of the Magic order leads into an event that will star all those characters plus from the looks of preview art posted by Miller, will included Kickass, Hit-girl, and what looks Eggsy from the Kingsman.

    I will admit I do think some of Millar’s work is hit or miss, especially in its maturity level at times. I do like his more recent work though, just read the first issue of Night Club and thought that was fun. I also admit that I like seeing new shared universes come together in indie comics to see what bold new directions they can take. That said I also know that Millar’s been teasing for years that his Millarworld work is interconnected but I think this is the first time we’ve actually seen a big crossover of his books and I’m interested to see what happens.

    I will respond to my own thread with the preview art for Big Game but do feel free to talk about how you all feel about what’s being set up.

    Also apparently Millar is planning spin-offs

    Also the article I read announcing the Ambassadors and talking about the series leading to Big Game and the characters from other Millarworld series that will appear.

    I can't imagine that the story will have much substance, but the art looks really good.

    Yeah I hope that it will be more of the better quality of Millar books, like Starlight, Mph, Supercrooks, etc.

    Some of his earlier works like Wanted and Nemesis were a bit much, so remains to be seen with the new Nemesis as a supposed reboot goes.

    But as someone who likes to see indie comics try for new shared universe I’ll be hoping that it pulls through and is enjoyable.

    shared universe outside of the big two are kinda hard like valiant does this,along with massiveverse,even disney comics. I not saying it is bad but i am now noticing a trend with recent series like spawn expaning his own shared universe and hellboy got his expanded universe too.
