Worlds Collide

Mark Millar is crossing over nearly all of his Millarworld characters in Big Game

- STEPHEN JEWELL

TO MARK THE 20TH anniversary of his comic book company Millarworld, Mark Millar is bringing his numerous series together in this summer's crossover, Big Game. Drawing on almost everything from 2003's Wanted to this year's Night Club and Nemesis Reloaded, the five-parter is something he's had in mind for many years.

"I've wanted to do it for a long time, but it would have been a logistical nightmare as the rights to all the different properties were co-owned by all the different artists," says Millar, who sold Millarworld to Netflix in 2017. "It was going to be impossible otherwise, but it's been worth the wait because I've built up around 25 franchises in that time. It also feels like a decent amount of time because if I had done this early on, it wouldn't have felt so monumental, as several of them have since become live action films. So to pull it all together into one story, it just felt like a good time to do it."
