It’s not easy creating a media empire — just
ask comic and movie maven Mark Millar. Since
WIRED.co.uk last spoke with the writer and producer, when he
launched his 2012 criminals-on-tour
series Supercrooks, he’s overseen the sequel
to Kick-Ass, the live-action Kingsman,
launched six comic series, and had two babies.
Formerly a mainstay at Marvel, in recent years Millar has
focussed on creator owned work published under his ‘Millarworld’
umbrella. His latest is Chrononauts, a series
following rogue time travellers, with art by Sean Murphy. We
catch up with the writer to discuss the comic — with an
exclusive first look at the second issue’s art — the changing
state of the publishing business, and his overlapping roles in both
the comics and movie industries.
