Mark Millar

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Along with Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar has been one of the key writers for Marvel Comics in the 21st century. After proving himself in the ’90s as a talent to watch while writing for DC Comics and the UK comic 2000AD, his arrival to Marvel came at a time when Ultimate Spider-Man had just shot up the sales charts. It was in this environment that Millar made his first major contribution to Marvel with Ultimate X-Men, as Millar integrated forty years’ worth of X-Men history, characters and lore into a solid two-year run, making the companion title to Ultimate Spider-Man every bit the creative and commercial success. Next up was The Ultimates, a new rendering of the Avengers that was to continue building on the success of the Ultimate line. He and artist Bryan Hitch pulled it all off in spades: The Ultimates and its sequel, Ultimates 2, were ensconced at the top of the sales charts every month; what’s more, they were critical successes, as well. Meanwhile, Millar was invited to enter the regular Marvel Universe to take a stab at two of its most iconic characters: Spider-Man and Wolverine. Paired with industry heavyweights to draw his stories — Terry Dodson on Marvel Knights Spider-Man and John Romita Jr. on Wolverine — Millar brought the same fast-paced and cleverly constructed plots with which his Ultimate fans were already familiar. Amid building a small library of Millarworld indie comic books — including the titles Chosen and Wanted, the latter of which was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie — he managed to write Civil War, the epic seven-issue miniseries that definitively reshaped the landscape of Marvel’s heroes. Kick-A**, a Marvel Icon project done in tandem with John Romita Jr., made an impressive impact on the sales chart before also being adapted for a major motion picture. In addition, Millar has reunited with Civil War artist Steve McNiven in both the pages of Wolverine and their creator-owned book Nemesis.

Product came in spectacular condition. Can always rely on great products from Half Price Books.

This vol. has the three issues that started a revolution. The issues that started possibly one of the greatest marvel mini series of all time...Marvel Zombies.

The first 3 issues in it revolve Mr. Fantastic traveling to an alternate universe where he finds out there mostly every hero and villian have turned into zombies. Now he has to run for his life before he becomes their next meal.

This vol. also introduces Ultimate Namor aka Sub-Mariner.

This was a good book, the only part I care about is the Marvel zombies one.

The five stars are for the Marvel zombies part, it is amazing! I always loved that universe. While we get inside the growing problems in Ultimate Reed Richards we also get a glimpse of what seems to be a common crossover, a cheap tool to raise sells, but not here, the twist is cool.

The introduction of Namor is not a bad story but is lackluster, it felt a lot like the liberation of General Zod from the Phantom Zone. He is a bully, apparently just sick or crazy but there is no way to know for sure.

These stories, collecting "Ultimate Fantastic Four" #21-26 are awesome -- possibly the best story arcs in the series to date. The encounter with the alternate-reality "Marvel Zombies" version of the FF is great -- chilling, well-told, beautifully illustrated, exciting and fun. Ditto with the Sub-Mariner plotline that follows.

If you're looking for good, old-fashioned adventure-hero comicbook fun, then here's a series that really delivers. (ReadThatAgain book reviews)

The story time in with Marvel Zombies was outstanding, even better than the actual Marvel Zombies stories. And the last chapter with Namor was a nice re-imagining for that character. Greg Land is one of the best artists working today, right up there with Carlos Pacheco and Alex Ross.

Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol. 3 Review
The Mark Millar run of Ultimate Fantastic Four is without a doubt my favorite. Clever ideas and witty dialogue, supported by Greg Land's hyperrealistic art, helped elevate Millar's Ultimate Fantastic Four run to some of the best the Ultimate Marvel imprint has to offer. Land's photorealism style and lush coloring is perfect. Prepare to encounter zombies and explore the depths of Atlantis.
Mark Millar introduces the Ultimate universe to zombies in his first arc, entitled 'Frightful' (Issues 21-23). After Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben stop some "chrono-terorrists", Reed attempts to travel to an alternate reality where presumably the 616 (mainstream) Fantastic Four await to greet him. Reed steps through the teleporter... right into the hands of flesh hungry zombies. While this may sounds like a b-list horror film storyline, Millar manages to weave an interesting and engaging tale that ties into the Marvel Zombies miniseries. The rest of the Fantastic Four devise a plan to rescue Reed from the Frightful Four (zombified versions of the Fantastic Four). As a fan of Kirkman's The Walking Dead series, it was cool to see zombies be introduced in a serious manner to the Marvel universe. Land's art is extraordinary in this arc.
The second arc, 'Tomb of Namor', introduces us to the Ultimate version of Namor. Sue and Johnny's mother appears, not dead, and talks the Fantastic Four into helping her explore Atlantis. They end up awakening Namor, the "King of Atlantis." Little do they know how much trouble they've unleashed upon the world. I won't say more for fear of spoiling some very awesome things about this arc. Once again Greg Land's photorealistic style looks exquisite. Millar's has some new ideas introduced in these two arcs. There's a real sense of technological advancement that permeates his entire run. His dialogue is great. Witty and sometimes self-explanatory. Greg Land's art is fantastic. There's a lot of criticism due to his tracing and recycling, there is a little of that here. A majority of Land's work in these issues is nothing short of perfect though. Overall I'd definitely recommend any Marvel fans give this trade a try, 4/5.

Collects Ultimate Fantastic Four issues #21-26

I really enjoyed this volume in which Mark Millar makes his return to writing the series.

The collection is split into two distinct parts.

The first part features the Ultimate Reed Richards creating a bridge between parallel universes. Unfortunately, the bridge leads to a universe in which Earth has been ravaged by a zombie plague. This storyline is the first appearance of the "Marvel Zombies" universe in Marvel Comics.

The second part of the book is about the Ultimate Fantastic Four's first encounter with the Ultimate Namor.

Great artwork. Fun writing. This one is a winner.

SPOILERS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE:

It may be that hindsight is 20/20, but I felt like seeds were planted in this book that hinted that Ultimate Reed Richards is going to grow to become a villain rather than a hero.
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2012
As someone who enjoys Ultimate Marvel titles a great deal, these stories are an utterly infantile, chaotic mess. It has some plot devices that are so absurd it boggles my mind how they made it into print.

**SPOILERS***

"Namor" written in Roman letters on a 9,000 year old tomb? A giant exosuit with all the Fantastic Four's powers? Namor making a giant Poseidon appear almost instantaneously? And to top it all off, a helmet that can create anything you imagine? Ugh.

And Greg Land is almost parody of sleazy comicbook artists. His style has great potential and on a technical level he is brilliant, but he uses that to deliver low-brow, trashy depictions of women. Literally ever female character, even a fifty year old scientist, looks like some Victoria's Secret model with pouting lips and come hither stare. It is a complete joke.

This has none of the cleverness, heart or emphasis on internal consistency of other Ultimate titles. It is comicbooks at their absolute worst.

5.0 out of 5 stars The high standard continues-thrilling-distrubing,great artwork
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2011
This one fits nicely in with the previous volume. At the start of `Crossover' the FF are a bit full of themselves with a recent success (that's a neat compact short story to start with) then we are treated to a continuation of a story arc started in Vol 4's `Think Tank'. Reed pitched into a nightmare alternative world of zombie super-heroes, and confronting a lot of disfigured but familiar faces; the main protagonists being the Zombie FF of that world. And who can he turn to for aid - you might guess, but I'm not saying anything in case I spoil it for you. His `own' Sue, Johnny and Ben ride to the rescue and there are some spectacular slam-dunk fights - Ben vs a zombie Hulk- short but stunning.
Yes, our FF prevail but it's a close run thing, with a noble sacrifice along the way, then one sharp surprise which leads nicely into...
...Namor's back! And this time he's been `ultimated', so we are spared the trademark self-aggrandisement and pomposity. This Namor is a bad boy, has sackfuls of style and attitude to spare. We also meet Sue and Johnny's mum believed by them to be dead- she may be a looker but that's a heart of stone she's carrying, Sue's explosion of rage at the subterfuge is another stunning piece of art work. The backstory of the childhood news of `the death' is very poignant, I wanted to reach out and hug them! Mind you it's not all gloom, lots of action and some lovely witty touches. They've also managed to fit in the renowned mutual attraction of Sue and Namor too. Nice twists at the end setting up possible later arcs. Well worth having for both artwork and stories.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2014
If you are a fan of Miller and Land on Ultimates then you are in for a treat. This includes the great Marvel Zombies story line before they were butchered to death for profits in terrible ill thought out story lines. This however is clever and thoughtful stuff. And at a few pence this was a steal.
