Mark Millar Pays Deposit to Lock Artist for 2031 Superman Book
Millar says the Superman project is a single 10-issue book, with the artist given three years to draw it, and Batman to follow.
Mark Millar has paid a deposit to secure an artist for a Superman project, and said he plans to begin work on it in 2031. According to Bleeding Cool, the artist will have three years to draw the book, which Millar described as a single 10-issue project.
Millar said he intends to follow the Superman book with Batman the following year, and has mapped out a schedule that runs from 2034 to 2039 for further projects.
The plans involve public-domain heroes. In an earlier period, Millar said he had an idea for a Superman story while swimming in Oman and posted about it on Twitter.
He said DC Comics got in touch within an hour after that tweet and invited him to write the story. Millar said he decided to wait until Superman enters the public domain rather than do the DC version.
