Episode 124: Wanted (2008) & The Adaptations Of Mark Millar

This week Joe, James and Rhys tackle one of the most adapted, influential and divisive comic creators of the last 20 years - Mark Millar. Taking 2008's Wanted as a starting point, the group discuss Millar's other adapted work, what attracted Hollywood to his voice in the first place, and what his future might be as the industry shifts. They also cover the latest comic book movie news, James recommends some comics, and Joe and James battle it out over the pitch.
