Big Game is an American comic book crossover limited series written by Mark Millar, drawn by Pepe Larraz and published by Millarworld and Image Comics on July 19, 2023.[1]
The series is intended to be a direct sequel to Wanted and the first crossover event in Millarworld's shared universe, uniting characters from all its properties, in order to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the company.[2][3]
Premise[edit]
Around the Millarworld universe, heroes were defeated by villains; as a result, heroes were forgotten though history while villains rule the world in the shadows. Nowadays, Nemesis joins Wesley Gibson and the Fraternity, and they all decided to start a war with several heroes,—including Kick-Ass, Kingsman, Superior, the Magic Order, Huck and the Night Club—believing they pose a threat to the villains' status quo.[4][5]
Publication history[edit]
Big Game is an American comic book limited series written by Mark Millar and drawn by Pepe Larraz, which unites twenty-four properties from Millarworld into one crossover event. The series is set after the events of Night Club, Nemesis Reloaded, The Magic Order 4 and The Ambassadors.[1] According to Millar, it is also a direct sequel to Wanted, his first creator-owned comic book published by Millarworld and Top Cow Productions.[2]
During an interview with SFX Magazine, Millar said, “Our books over the next few months lead into a crossover, which ties together all the Millarworld franchises. There are actually 24 franchises altogether if you count series like Kick-Ass, Kingsman and Hit Girl, so we’re putting them in one mega-story, which brings all of them together.”[6]
During the series' announcement, Larraz said, "Since I started thinking about drawing American comic books, I always have wanted to work with Mark Millar. Who wouldn't? But what I could never have expected is to work on something that interlocks and pulls together so many series Mark has written. This is a huge privilege for me and I can't wait for you all to see it.”[1][6]
