Hit-Girl, Nemesis Come to ComiXology

Mark Millar has brought his line of creator-owned stories for Marvel Comics's Icon line to ComiXology, beginning with the release today of the Hit-Girl miniseries and Nemesis. Hit-Girl, of course, is being incorporated into the upcoming film adaptation of Kick-Ass 2. Nemesis, meanwhile, has been tipped as a major motion picture as well, although it's nowhere near as far along. "ComiXology boasts the ability to help creators reach a worldwide audience but when a creator at the caliber of Mark Millar joins with us, it's the comic fans around the world that really win," said co-founder and CEO of comiXology David Steinberger. "Now Millar fans have an excuse to relive his amazing ICON stories as they're transformed with comiXology's immersive Guided View reading experience, while Millar's work will be poised to find a whole new audience!" "I couldn't be happier about this. The comiXology guys are great and I love the idea of the Millarworld titles reaching people who want to try my books after Kick-Ass 2, but don't live near a comic-book store." said Millarworld founder Mark Millar. "From this moment on, ALL my books will be available in digital 12 weeks after they're released in print and we won't have any delays again. Kick-Ass 2, Jupiter's Legacy, The Secret Service, Supercrooks, Superior and everything else will be coming to digital very soon and we've now got a system in order to make sure it's never more than 3 months after the print editions. It's Millarworld's gift to humanity in these troubled times!" Rumors have been circulating of a third Kick-Ass miniseries coming from Millar and his co-creator John Romita, Jr., and interest in his properties has never been higher with The Secret Service's film script reportedly doing well under X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn.
