*~Wanted~*
Posted by Lumiya on 7th July 2008

My pick for this week is definitely Wanted, as in the comic, not the movie! I LOVE this book and highly recommend it. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Wanted is about a group of supervillains called The Fraternity. The Fraternity’s main objective is ridding the world of superheroes. The main characters~ Wesley Gibson (aka The Killer) and The Fox are hardcore assassins. I loved The Fox, she is one of the coolest, baddest female characters ever written. I really liked Mark Millar’s writing, and I’m totally a fan of J.G. Jones’ art. Wanted is really innovative, Mark Millar bases a lot of the characters on DC/Marvel characters. I have to admit, it’s kinda a dude’s book, but that doesn’t mean girls can’t like it! So, check it out!!!

  1. Fa real, that’s one of the best comics of this decade; great use of classic-character archetypes (both serious and absurd) and skillful expansion of the theme to both deliver a gripping story and reflect on how mean comics got in the ’90s and why the world might have too. Hoping to finally make it to the movie this week to see just how little an adaptation can have to do with the actual comic and still obligate Hollywood to make the guys with their names on the published version some serious beans…
