Thank you for the honest review. Peter Milligan is a favorite writer, unfortunately he does not get the exposure of Ellis, Ennis or Delano. Your hard work is appreciated.
Thank you! And I agree...Milligan is a workhorse with an impressive body of work. For some reason, he remains overlooked as a creator. It's baffling.
This has been one of my favourite minis for decades & I never hear anyone talk about it, thanks for making this review.
Nice not-so-subtle jab at Mark Millar lol.
The jab was as subtle as Mr. Millar's writing. :)

Milligan is underrated in comparison with other brit writers, but Karen Berger was very supportive of his work. I think that she was atracted to the fact that he brings some academic, high art elements to his stories, but he is so hermetic that the greater public don't even scratch the surface.
One of my favorites, hands down
thank you for this. I write a piece about this characters, for a page about comics. The true selfs, what they want, and, what you can read in their eyes. McKeever put special care in that, you can sense the sorrow in jack's eyes for example. Very underrated series and author.
I just finished reading it. You're right about it haunting you as you digest the details. I'm curious what you think about Tony and his story arc especially the end.
I haven't thought about this comic in years. I didn't get into it as much as the Enigma, but I found it interesting
Excellent review. I bought it back in '94 and have the original books still and I go to them for a read annually. Quite shocking back in the day. I started reading comics regularly in 1957 and there Never was an above ground book like this one. A true work of art and it holds up still in 2020.
Vintage Milligan. Seeing McKeever on a DC book was such a surprise, since he'd been doing his own books for years. I want to compare this to early Milligan books, especially Enigma.
Both books have a sort of protagonist & mentor thing going on. I hadn't considered that or ever thought to compare them until now.
Now I'm thinking of Skreemer and even Strange Days.
Skreemer by Milligan and Plastic Forks (or Eddy Current) by McKeever are a few limited series I'm trying to find time for. It's been decades since I read them, but I recall them both being quite good.
@@StrangeBrainParts I would love to hear someone else's take on Skreemer. I've never met anyone else who has read it.
@fad23 - Well, now you have. :) I will try to get at it sooner rather than later. It is considered part of the Vertigo catalog, after all. Even though it originally wasn't a series for that imprint.
@@StrangeBrainParts Nice!
I forget whether Skreemer predates Vertigo. I read it years after its initial release.
Great videos.
You are helping me get back into comics.
That's awesome to hear!
Spicy
I have to disagree with your reading of the ending. Judy most does not become free nor does Patrick give up his control over her. He maintains it, while giving her the ilusion of freedom, just the way any other cult leader "frees" their followers, by offering outlet for their inner desires.
Jesus, that last page of "Wanted" sucks. Never read the book.
I must admit, that final page (and most of that miniseries) was the first time I ever felt a writer was going out of their way to insult the audience.
Same
You could get rid of the last two pages and still is a fun series to watch.
Millar is more sincere than Moore when giving the audience a product, and I'm still waiting for something interesting by Moore that doesn't rely on nostalgia...
@@romelmunoz7957 McDonald's is very sincere about "giving people a product" too.
@@noneofyourbusiness4616: yeah and Disney, Walmart, Sony, etc. etc.
How many times is Moore talkin' shit about the superhero genre and cashing in with revisionism and nostalgia?
That's the sincere part I was talking about. Millar you like him or not gives his audience what they look for.
