Peter Milligan is a British writer, best known for his work on X-Force / X-Statix, the X-Men, & the Vertigo series Human Target. He is also a scriptwriter.

He has been writing comics for some time and he has somewhat of a reputation for writing material that is highly outlandish, bizarre and/or absurd.

His highest profile projects to date include a run on X-Men, and his X-Force revamp that relaunched as X-Statix.

Many of Milligan's best works have been from DC Vertigo. These include: The Extremist (4 issues with artist Ted McKeever) The Minx (8 issues with artist Sean Phillips) Face (Prestige one-shot with artist Duncan Fegredo) The Eaters (Prestige one-shot with artist Dean Ormston) Vertigo Pop London (4 issues with artist Philip Bond) Enigma (8 issues with artist Duncan Fegredo) and Girl (3 issues with artist Duncan Fegredo).

This is another case where I don't know what the other raters are thinking this was a really interesting if not perfect mini. A lot of the writing felt very 80s X-men in a good way. Despite being a story about very 90s situations and characters it makes no sense to me why there wouldn't be room to tell this story in a regular X-Men comic rather than relegating it to a side story. This seems especially the case while I am reading my way through the late 90s X-men books that seem to be treading water and trying to make me care about the same characters over and over with very little substance.

I find it really sad that while X-Force and Generation X remain pretty interesting and dynamic to the end that the main X-books get more conservative storytelling wise, and also a lot more white and male in their outlook. Sadly these aspects are the ones that are the most drawn upon in any adaptations that have happened. This comic is not exempt from having a largely white and male outlook either, but takes things in much more interesting directions.

Lo tengo en la miniserie que sacó Forum hace década y pico. Me pregunto si esta edición en libro de cuya existencia encontré pruebas en la página del libro de España y lugares similares existirá en tomo o nunca se llegó a concretar. Como tiene ISBN y todo, le subí la tapa del último número y ya. Yendo al comic en sí: muy buen guion, nauseabundo dibujo. No sé qué me parecería si lo leyera ahora pero en su momento Joseph (el magneto que protagoniza esta historia) me parecía un personaje genial, así que me enganché bastante pese a que me lloraban los ojos ante cada expresión fallida de los personajes. Me pregunto si alguien más recordará esta historia así mi review no queda tan sola... :(
