So. Eminem is a supervillain.Ok, so you know the movie with James McAvoy & Angelina Jolie filled with physics-defying car chases, nonsensical things like curving the bullet, and Morgan Freeman fucking with some ancient loom of destiny? Well, if you think that's what you'll be getting here, you'll be sorely disappointed. Because as retarded as the plot sounded, there was a hefty dose of entertainment value there.Nope. This is an entirely different story altogether.ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.In fact,It's hard to imagine a more UnPC book then this. It has a super villain made entirely of shit, the line "I Don't Fuck Goats I Make Love To Them." and ends with the novel literally sodomizing you, the person who shelled out money for it. It's like Bret Easton Ellis and Chuck Palinuik collaborated on a "superhero" book and kept trying to one up eachother. It's pretty fucking awesome and I had a blast.
I feel like a lot of people misinterpret this story. While it's meant to be wildly entertaining on a superficial level (and succeeds) it's also a sort of satire.Grant Morrison, who knows Millar, expressed this same point about Wanted in his book Supergods.I don't think it's a shallow dark tale like everyone is saying. The last line of comic that solidified my opinion on this, albeit in a very crass way, reads, "This is my face while I'm fucking you in the ass!"It feels like the point of this was
The front cover of this book is a picture from the film, which I think is Millar's big f*** you to the film, because it was not the original cover! I loved it. It's so un PC it's unreal, I think that's why I like it. Cop killing, hero killing, Radom killing, living shit and lots of sex! Nothing gets more in your face than this comic. This could never be made into a real film. I'm happy the film sucked balls!
Millar wrote his crude, violent anti-hero romp twenty years too late. While grittiness is still prized in 'grown up' comics, Millar has apparently mistaken 'mature content' for 'maturity'. Of course, he's not the first to fall into this trap. We've all seen television, movies, and books that place a premium on sex and blood, but presented with all the sophistication of a sniggering teen.Millar does not have the wit to present these issues seriously, nor are his plotting or characterization
A nice one time read graphic noveI. Wesley's outfit is cool
A henchman with Down Syndrome??? 😳That's a plus, being that I have ADD and am double-jointed due to trauma.The graphic novel takes on a totally different direction than the movie. Plus, Wesley, who resembles Eminem, references(narrates) 1980s action flicks in the climax. Hey, I used to play a song repeatedly in my head whenever biking circa a decade ago! Did I mention Fox resembles Halle Berry?
