Press Release
Hot off the back of his 2012 Kapow convention success, Kick-Ass
creator Mark Millar launches a stunning new volume of CLiNT, with a
new #1! Four brand-new stories begin between its covers, coupled to a
brand new look, new logo and new attitude!
Every issue now features epic news and interview exclusives you won’t
read anywhere else – from set reports, casting announcements and
extensive actor grillings to behind-the-scenes commentaries and new
art from top comics talent!
Hitting comic stores May 23rd, CLiNT #2.1 showcases a double kidney
punch of new Mark Millar strips: SUPERCROOKS with artist Leinil Yu,
the story of a group of failed supercriminals who head to Spain for
one last heist.
Next up, THE SECRET SERVICE, Millar’s hotly anticipated collaboration
with Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons and Kick-Ass / X-Men: First Class
director Matthew Vaughn – the fast-tracked movie is being plotted by
Vaughn at the same time as the comic!
The CLiNT reboot also boasts the EXCLUSIVE, Hollywood-baiting DEATH
SENTENCE strip – which has built up a wave of well-deserved hype.
Creators and critics alike have been lining up to praise the
hotly-anticipated sex, STDs and superheroics saga, written by newcomer
Montynero and illustrated by Mike Dowling (2000AD, Rex Royd,
Torchwood). Dramatic, thought-provoking and hilarious, Death Sentence
is a take-down of celebrity culture that also thumbs its nose at
invasive modes of government – and you’ll only find it in CLiNT!
Speaking of EXCLUSIVES – don’t miss a bold new chapter of REX ROYD by
outspoken satirist Frankie Boyle, taking the planet’s most immoral
super-genius into uncharted, big-budget brain-buster territory!
Mark Millar discusses Supercrooks and American Jesus movies in our
exclusive Millarworld movie round-up feature.
“Everything that I’ve done, movie-wise, I’ve gotten a little more
involved.” says Millar. “On Wanted, I was just involved at a tangent,
I’d just come in for meetings and watch footage. With Kick-Ass, I was
very involved from the beginning, from the two month when the
screenplay was being put together, though costume designs and all of
that. And from that, to Supercrooks, American Jesus and Kick-Ass 2,
which will feel incredibly hands-on.”
To hear Supercrooks director Nacho Vigalondo’s side of the story,
