Mark Millar Moves Entire Millarworld Catalogue To Dark Horse
by Tom Smithyman
In a seismic change in the comic book world, impresario Mark Millar is moving his Millarworld catalog Dark Horse next year after a decade at Image Comics.
The new partnership will include collections of previously published material in addition to five new series in 2024, including Nemesis: Rogues’ Gallery. The four other series have yet to be announced.
“I’ve admired Mark’s work for years and I’m very excited to bring his Millarworld of stories to Dark Horse,” said Dark Horse President Mike Richardson. “Mark’s world-building and character creation has put him at the forefront of the comics industry, and we couldn’t be happier about welcoming him and his team to Dark Horse. As a big fan, I’m looking forward to seeing what surprises he has in store for us.”
First up will be new trade paperback editions of The Magic Order Volumes 1 and 2. Millar wrote each volume, with the first illustrated by Olivier Coipel and the second by Stuart Immonen. Dark Horse will then release the Nemesis: Reloaded arc in a single volume with artist Jorge Jiménez and colorist Giovanna Niro. There will also be a new edition of Night Club Volume 1, with artwork by Juanan Ramirez as well as printings of Wanted, The Ambassadors, and Big Game.
“Can I just say that I’ve been a Dark Horse fan since the beginning, and this has been a decades long love affair finally consummated?” Millar said. “I’ve loved what Mike and the team have been doing for years and so many of my friends are over there having a great time. I really just wanted to join the party and not only haul my massive, shelf-groaning library with me, but also commit to several years of really exciting stuff in the wake of our Big Game crossover event. “We’re launching five new titles in 2024, all of which will be revealed on March 21. Beyond this, I’m working hard on the 2025 launches right now, four completely new series you’re going to love.”
