Netflix Acquires Millarworld: these are the creators of Kick-Ass and the Kingsman

[8WON6]

(Reuters) - Netflix Inc on Monday said it has bought comics publisher Millarworld, bringing on board renowned comic book writer Mark Millar and a host of character franchises it can mine for TV shows and movies.

It is the first acquisition by Netflix, the 20-year-old streaming-video pioneer that is building a library of original series and films in a bid to hook new customers around the world.

Two of Millarworld's best-known comics, "Kick-Ass" and "Kingsman," are not part of the deal, whose terms Netflix did not disclose.

I mean the Kick-Ass and Kingsman isn't a big deal I guess. Would be nice if they were in the same "universe". But anyways...maybe we'll get a whole new cinematic universe out of this.

Not surprised. Always said Millar was just making movie pitch's, since that's where the real money is.

Interesting if Mark Miller movies will fly in today's world. Wanted comic was cool but I don't know if it will fly.

Netflix Greenlights 2 TV Series & 3 Films Based On Mark Millar Works Including ‘Jupiter’s Legacy’, ‘Empress’ & ‘Huck’

Jupiter's Legacy sounds the most intriguing and they have Steven S. DeKnight as show-runner.

The only thing from them I was really hoping for was a live-action Jupiter's Legacy. I love that book series.
