Interesting to package these two together. A clear demo that Millar never had much to say beyond letting bodies get gutted in increasingly less interesting ways.

The comic that started the Millarverse and its sequel 20 years later. Wanted is very different than the movie. It's about a universe where the villains secretly won Crisis back in 1986 and have been controlling the world ever since. Wesley is introduced to this world and takes to it quickly. You can tell it was written 20 years ago. There's all kinds of triggering language in it that is no longer used today.

The sequel, Big Game, shows how all of the comics from Millarworld are connected. Who would have thunk it. Wesley and crew are back and they are out to kill all the heroes that have sprung up in the last 20 years. There's no way this should work and yet it does very well. Kudos to Millar. I don't like all his stuff but this was a fun read.

Wow! Tons of action.
Loved this big collection.
Plenty of Super villain action!
Tough on the heroes for a while, but Hit Girl came thru!

Wanted is a lot better, Big Game an attempt to pull the Millerverse together, but one which isn't as good, because the baddies are too cartoonish

[Julio Valentin · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first story is awful, and it makes no sense. Like the second one, but I may be biased because it has Nemesis
