COMICS: Your Chance To Name Mark Millar's Superior!

COMICS: Your Chance To Name Mark Millar's Superior!

Just like he did with the lead characters of both Kick-Ass and Nemesis, comic book writer Mark Millar has announced a charity auction giving fans the chance to name his lastest creation...

The critically acclaimed comic book writer has pledged to name the book's main character after the highest bidder in order to raise funds for his brother Dr Robert Millar who works at a school for disabled children. Last time he was raising money for a school bus, but this time it's for a special needs unit.

"Whatever gets raised here plus a private donation from me should get that mini-bus and a few other things my brother is after for the kids he attends. Please tweet and post around the net as I want to raise as much as possible here."

His and Lenil Francis Yu's Superior actually tackles the subject of disability, focusing on a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer who transforms into a superpowered being. With Kick-Ass already out on DVD and Blu-Ray and Nemesis in the works, it's not hard to believe that this will be Millar's next big screen adaptation meaning your name could be in the movie as well as comic!

@Everyone
Yeah, for a guy who gets slack from some of us he really does show that he has a good heart regardless. It's cool to see that he's continuing to do this sort of fundraiser for the kids and I hope they earn enough money. :)

As for a name, I've got nada.

I agree guys. I'm a massive Mark Millar fan and although I know that some of you arent (though after the likes of Old Man Logan and Kick-Ass I sure dont know why!) I think that this is a great thing of him to do. The bidding is already up to nearly £1000 and I hope it'll keep on rising...just wish I had the cash to get involved, lol! :P

Not many writers would allow Simons else to decide the name of a character they've created...the fact it's for such a worthy cause makes it even more admirable. And hell, just check out how humble he is about it:

@Josh_Wilding Thanks, Josh. I'm fortunate to be in this position. For me it's literally an email. My bro is the guy who changes kids' lives.

Awesome writer and clearly a great guy. (as is his brother)

I think this is actually a cool idea. It gives the fans a chance to decide something about a comic. Besides I love what they did with Nemesis so I totally trust their judgment.

By the way guys if you get the chance check out my Batman story by clicking the pic below

Oh and just to clarify, you don't choose the name. If you win, he gives the character YOUR name, as in your really real name, given at birth, whats printed on your driving license name.
