If there's one thing the movie did is that it made him insanely more likeable. Wesley in this starts off looking like a prick and instantly turns into a sociopath within the span of a couple pages.

I feel like the mantra of this comic is "shut up and go with it." Otherworldly concepts, names, and locations are fired at the reader without much elaboration beyond a sentence or two. There is very little time to consider the logic of this universe.

Wanted is one of Millar's more polarizing works. I personally like it but I wouldn't put it in my top 5 works by Millar

God fucking dammit Millar! In literally one issue you manage to make Wesley an irredeemable piece of shit! This was completely unecessary and added nothing other than making look like an deranged monster that was looking for the first excuse to indulge in his twisted fucking fantasies. .

Same, the movie's my first exposure before the comics, same with Kickass and Kingsman. Millar can get a bit all the edge in a lot of his works but when you get used to it.

Is that the fucking Vulture in panel 2? I'd want to believe so because it would make the Millar Multiverse that much more insane.

If I remember correctly, this is the Millar Multiverse.

>Universe 1
>Jupiter's Circle (Starting Point), Wanted, Chosen, Huck, Kick-Ass Series, MPH, Nemesis, Starlight, Secret Service, Superior, and Marvel 1985 (which itself incorporates Marvel 616).
>With this known, it's not impossible for The Fraternity to span the Millar Multiverse.
>It's also logical to assume that the Fraternity's influence greatly varies across the universes, which explains why The Fox can literally get away with murder and The Vulture can't rob a bank without the police getting on his tail.

>Universe 2
>Jupiter's Circle (Starting Point) - Super Crooks - Jupiter's Legacy

And that ladies and gentlemen is Wanted. Now that the story is complete, which one did you guys overall prefer? The comic or the film?

>>88851383

Read the book before I saw the film, needless to say I was super pissed at Miller for shilling it after I saw it. It wasn't WANTED.

It could have been Watchmen tier, and it could have moved the needle on the cape movie craze to more adult, 80's action movie style stuff had it been a sucess as it was written.

>>88851364
This is the /r9k/ page.

>>88851383
Film honestly. The bittersweet ending just works better but it ended a bit too early for me.

>>88851383
neither really, the film had no sense of humor or levity outside of the first scene and the book felt like it was trying to both emulate eminem's vulgarity while also trying to do the postmodern shtick and those are two taste that don't go together, at least not like that.

>>88851383
Haven't seen the film but like most of Millars non-superman work this comic is complete ass. But it's no where near as bad as the unfunnies or nemesis so thanks op.

Didn't even have the decency to show the black chick naked...what a waste of time.

>>88848345
I'm reading along too. Thanks Anon!

>>88852105
WHo's awesome?
Ur awesome!

>>88851383

Neither was impressive in the least, but the film felt a bit more coherent and wasn't quite so "Millar".

Millar works best when he has somebody holding the reins. Otherwise he just spins out into garbage.

>>88851364

Fantasy world where a loser happens to inherit a fortune and is trained by super humans to save the world, cause chaos and fuck bitches without repercussions.

Something a teenage school shooter would make in their spare time.

>>88851069
The comic was always too edgy for me. Him killing a bunch of cops just made it unplatable, beyond The Boys because The Boys were at least goodish.

I loved the hell out of the movie though.

>>88851383
Film definitely. Books just too pointless, in my view, and I hate all the characters.

>>88850885
Does Wesley's powers just give him incredible accuracey or do his powers of killing imbue him and his weapons with some type of power that makes Supers vulnerable to bullets. It just seems startling how many Supers Wesley can drop with a set of pistols so either they're naturally vulnerable to gunfire, Wesley is exclusively shooting through open cavities (eyes, ears, mouth), or his powers magic his bullets magic in some way which allow him to blow apart Supers with just a handgun.

>>88847601
How the fuck did he pull that off?

>>88848000
You mean the utopian?

>>88847513
>>88847538
So in the comics he's a bit racist?

>>88852515
Well Millar is the poor man's Ennis.

I like her way more than Angelina Jolie

>>88848000
I just assumed it was a parody of Bizarro Superman.

>>88848049
>>88847513
I don't mean to get all PC, but what's so important about his boss being African American? Is it just to establish that these characters are villains?

>>88848530
Well, he is supposed to be a super villain...

>>88854020
He's an asshole who's too timid to actually lash out at anyone -- before he gets his powers, anyway.

She's a black woman speaking down to him, a white man. He's insulted more by the breach of decorum than he is by the actual dressing down.

>>88849836
Better question, why didn't he rape and/or murder her? Just leaving seemed out of character.

>>88850727
Is that an AT-AT head?

>>88849935
I'm really not seeing how this guy is mowing down Superman-expies with just a pair of handguns and super-aiming skills.

>>88850133
This whole Fraternity thing makes zero sense.

They go through all this trouble to stay out of sight, manipulate the media and keep all their shit out of the papers to make sure nobody knows they exist, and yet simply saying the name is enough to make even some random nobody recognize them.

Really refreshing to see someone storytime something like this without just shitting all over it.
I get comics like this, Nemesis, Kick Ass etc. are all quite edgy and stuff, but I still love em anyway.
They're just fun. KA especially, I'll always have a place for that one.

>>88851069
not everything must be awesome, i really enjoyed this, but kudos to the guys that did the movie.
this shit is unstraslatable to a film as it is.

I still can't decide whether I find it so bad it's good or just bad.
But the comic was better than the movie, hands down.

God, this sequence is so anticlimactic. I mean, you've got your main character staring down a bunch of supervillains and he just shoots them all and everything works out just fine.

I know it's supposed to be all badass or whatever, but it's just such a letdown. The resolution just falls so flat.

>>88848530
>God fucking dammit Millar! In literally one issue you manage to make Wesley an irredeemable piece of shit! This was completely unecessary and added nothing other than making look like an deranged monster that was looking for the first excuse to indulge in his twisted fucking fantasies. .

Millar now claims that, but you know well he was going for Supes back than.

>>88847777
He's basically Eminem, if Eminem had no ambition or drive.

>>88861647
Joking ish. I'm still all for making Wesley a full blown monster by the end of the story, just have it take just a we bit more time rather than in the span of literally two pages. The fact he goes from loser to badass in the span of 6 months is ridiculous enough as is.

I don't know if Millar ever said so, but I'd think Fuckwit would have to be the failed clone of the Utopian since Millar outright said that the cape belonged to the Utopian and Fuckwit's an obvious riff on Bizarro as >>88853946 and >>88862918 said.

>>88855618

I don't disagree, but something about the Superhero theme of the comic just resonates with me a whole lot more. I didn't like that the movie tried to incorporate this loom of fate into the story. I would have just preferred that they be an organization of assassins that attempt to better the world and then you just find out Morgan Freeman was a douche.
