Now that comic book adaptations have been ruling the box office for nearly two decades, we’re starting to notice that patterns have emerged. Some comic book writers have their work translated to the screen more often than others, and we can look at these films together, as a unit, to form a sort of de facto filmography. Maybe they’re faithful adaptations, maybe they’re bad, but at the root of all these movies there was one creator who keeps popping up at the multiplex, and whose writing keeps getting adapted for one reason or another: Mark Millar.
Millar is a Scottish comic book author who has been working in the industry since the 1980s, and who has written such famous characters as Judge Dredd, Superman, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and The Ultimates, while also creating his own distinctive, subversive heroes in various other imprints. Mark Millar is renowned for his controversial ideas, his vicious sense of humor, and his outlandish action sequences, and so it’s no wonder that his work has been translated to the big screen many, many times.
With the latest Mark Millar adaptation, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, in theaters this weekend, we thought that it was the right time to take a look back at all of the films that have been adapted - sometimes faithfully, but often not - from the writer’s comic books, and consider just how big an impact he’s had on the medium. So here they are. Click through the slideshow below for all of them...
