Mark Millers Nemesis

For one, they're going to have to cut out the part where he impregnates the daughter of a politician with her gay brother's sperm then bobbytraps her womb to prevent an abortion.

Yes, that is the sentence I wrote there.

Just how angry and envious is Grant Morrison of his former protege? 😛

Probably not very. He's a lot more critically acclaimed and well respected than Millar, and regularly churns out hit comics that sell a ton and add to his rep. While I'm sure he wouldn't mind more money and wants some specific projects from being adapted, it's not like the people who want Nemesis were picking it over WE3.

What?

Mark Miller comes up with some crazy idea's for his stories.

It's pretty schlocky stuff. Shock value and all that.

I think you can see why this will certainly not be a direct adaptation, and how that'll be an improvement.

Trying too much too be like Garth Ennis.

And I think even Ennis is overrated. Granted, he has some good stuff, but he uses shock value too much.

But its done alot better imo, Compared to how Mark Miller does it.

I think they could both be a lot better if they dropped the shock stuff. In no small part because it's no longer shocking, there's lots of that kind of thing.
