Today I read a comic about a pack of supervillains who killed off all the good guys and took over the world. My goodness. Who ever heard of such a thing? Here begins a thread on Mark Waid and Barry Kitson's EMPIRE & Mark Millar and JG Jones' WANTED


Both series play out among the all-powerful ruling class of villains who now run the world, with a conspiracy weaving through them that drives the bulk of the plot. Both feature a horny gun-slinging new recruit as a POV character - their initiations both have a dark, culty vibe




But I still find it deeply interesting that for a brief moment in the middle of W's first term, when their respective voices were really starting to crystallize, Waid and Millar ended up writing the same book. More or less.


The crop favored the car over this majestic mountain king, and if that ain't just everything wrong with the world in miniature
