Rating:  - All the elements of a classicSome people are never pleased and they always point out some kind of flaw and this book does have a couple. But for me it's all about suspending disbelief for a while and wishing you were somewhere else and someone else. Surely as comic book readers we all wished our parents had super powers and had passed them onto us. Surely we all wish that we could escape the mundane 9 to 5 routine...and this book tells that story with a good measure of hero double crossing and novel concepts thrown in. The plot is solid and keeps you gripped until the end. Not my chosen style of art work but good enough and more than compensated, as I say, by the plot. Definitely worth purchasing. Enjoy Rating:  - Not vintageI'm a big fan of the sick, gory, lurid and depraved but Wanted just seems to be trying a bit too hard. Characters are constantly casually killing innocent bystanders, mentioning recent rapes they've enjoyed, tossing around photos of child murders, but it's not really disturbing or sinister, just... desperate. I think maybe Millar's just too nice a guy to write this sort of stuff. The emotional interplay between some of these degenerate characters is just ludicrous. He's trying for Jim Thompson but it comes over more like a teenager swearing in front of an elderly aunt. The 'dangerous' pay-off is a bit much to take, as well, considering Millar will already have your money in his wallet by the time you read it. It's a fun, schlocky read but taking itself a bit too seriously. Rating: - sex money super powers costume you know you want it!One of the finest comics produced by Mark Millar. Personally I love satire and micky takes and that is what this is, as well as cutting dialogue, amazing artwork and a mean plot. Not for the faint hearted or easily offended. However if you like intelligent, witty offensive knife edged action blood bath comics, do not hesitate to by this all-you'll-ever-need-in-a comic comic. One of mark millars best creations. Also recommended is chosen which hasn't yet been released in graphic novel format. Go back to: Wanted page 2 of 2
