Scotland’s Mark Millar is known for his popular comic book creations like Kick-Ass, Wanted, Nemesis, and the now-iconic Civil War storyline that changed the way Marvel handled their comic events forever among others. What he isn’t usually known for is his 12-issue Spider-Man run under the prestige Marvel Knights alongside artist Terry Dodson back in 2004, (which actually turned up pretty great!) so it’s a nice surprise seeing him share his love for now-premiering Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Just out of Spider-Man and this might be the best Marvel movie so far. I'm absolutely serious. This is a perfect 10.

I felt exact same way. Seventh Spidey outing. What is there to say? But this movie blew me away.

While Millar’s love for the film is just as important as any average joe’s, it’s cool seeing a distinguished comic book creator such as him rally for a film in a cinematic universe his comic books helped shape. This is also coming from a guy who didn’t love Captain America: Civil War! I don’t love the majority of his body of work but his brief stint on Spider-Man was a crazy fun read. He gave new life to Peter Parker’s never-ending battle with Green Goblin and turned Mac Gargan into what I think is the most violent version of Venom. With most of Millar’s comic book creations getting adapted for film, I sure as hell wouldn’t mind seeing his Spider-Man story play out in the MCU one day.
