Mark Millar is a long way from being done in comics. The longtime comic scribe, known for gritty projects like The Authority, has a great deal of creator-owned material currently on shelves at comic shops and bookstores worldwide, but his list of future projects goes far beyond that. And in a recent interview, Millar gave the comic book world an idea of just how long that list was.
Millar was a recent guest on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuAK3eVlTjA&list=PLxyTNmetwO56BlS0RquJ0Fr34LAHq6uEm&index=5″ rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>TASQ ART YouTube page, where the veteran comic writer spoke about his decades-long work in the comic book industry and, by extension, on the film and TV projects that his work has inspired. But toward the end of the discussion, the conversation turned toward Millar’s future, a future that extends – if Millar is to be believed – into the 2040s.
“I’ve got roughly the next 16 years worked out,” Millar said. “It sounds nuts, right? But you know, things will change and things will come forward, things will get pushed back.”
Appropriately, Millar’s interviewer asked him whether there was anything he was working on at the moment that he’d like to promote.
“There’s a ton of Dark Horse collections of the stuff I have been doing,” the Old Man Logan cocreator answered, “To be honest, the last year I’ve barely written a comic. Even things like Conquered and Psychic Sam [two books Millar has done with artists Valerio Giangiordano and John Romita Jr., respectively], I’ve held back a little bit until they’re they’re ready to come out on the Kickstarters. I’m doing a new thing with Matthew Scalera at some point. Generally, I’ve actually been so enmeshed in the film side of things and we’re doing a we bit in TV as well.”
Now look, we have no insight into the plans Mark Millar is cooking up, but we will point out that Scalera and Millar have collaborated before. Specifically, that was on the 2025 five-issue series Nemesis Reloaded, the fourth chapter in Millar’s supervillain-starring Nemesis series. Could the fact that they’re working together again mean that more Nemesis is on the way?
“Over the next few weeks,” Millar concluded, “You’ll see what I’ve been up to.”
