I hated the first one. Please don't reward mediocrity with a sequel.

ANIL: Havent read it yet - I dont normally get my comic books in the UK until Friday! Cant [frick]ing wait though, lol! Bendis has been on top form lately - that recent Dark Avengers issue featuring the truth about Sentry was awesome! :)

I havent read Wanted or seen the movie as neither appeal to me all that much even though Im a huge Mark Millar fan...are either worth getting?

I enjoyed Spirit more than Wanted (hey, it was funny atleast). Seriously, how can you turn a group of super-villains into a group of assassins? And where is THE SHIT MONSTER DUDE!?

Wanted was a good graphic novel... bad movie, even with Jolie in it. ;)

The 1st one sucked so why why why would they make a part 2? just to upstage the 1st one with craptasticness. how old is angelina like 50? And they have Mr. Tumnus from narnia? Really?

Yeah me no likey

The comic "Wanted" rocked, and the movie sucked. To follow the book would have been to high dollar, so I understand why, but I dont see a sequel.

This guy's writing is genius. "Old Man Logan" is one of the best I have ever read.

Not too big a fan of Wanted, book or movie. Love Kickass and how it does well.

Of all comic creators, I hope Millar does well in his future endevors as I can see him going on to make a slew of good movies or sources to the same, much more so than another writer with a similar last name.

everyone thats saying they saw the movie but didn't read the book: you guys seriously need to go read the book. it is NOTHING like the movie. its so different it should be a crime to share the same name.

i'm not just saying that because i hate change in CBM's. i actually don't mind change when its done right. but the movie had so much change that it stopped being the same thing all together. go read the book, then tell me you liked the movie...

I never read "Wanted" but after reading up on it; I would have liked the film more if it kept the supervillains thing...it would have been that much more interesting. The writing for this film could have been a lot better...it was basically a typical action flick mixed with a little bit of "The Matrix".

I read the graphic novel and it's an awesome read in my opinion. The movie version was a butchered, hackjob piece of $#!t that gives a bad name to cbm's. The original story could have been epic but apparently Mark Miller likes big checks rather then keeping true to his own material. In my opinion studio's are just money hungry cowards to scared to try something new and exciting, they'd rather play it safe and re-hash the same crap we've seen over and over again. The movie they call "Wanted" (which i was looking forward too) was transformed into pure garbage i won't even buy. Granted it was entertaining but had very little to do with the original plot. They did however get some of the names right....kinda. As for a sequel, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Honestly!!! A LOOM OF FATE? What the HELL where they thinking!?!
