''Wanted'' is a comic book limited series written by Mark Millar, with art by J. G. Jones. It was published by Top Cow in 2003 and 2004 as part of Millarworld.〔 *〕 It features an amoral protagonist who discovers he is the heir to a career as a supervillain assassin in a world where such villains have secretly taken control of the planet. ''The Sunday Times'' dubbed the title "the ''Watchmen'' for super-villains."〔(TheFourthRail.com )〕 A film adaptation, very loosely based on the comic, was released in 2008. ==Publication history== As with ''Superman: Red Son'',〔(Portail d'informations Ce site est en vente! )〕 Millar claims that the concept for the series occurred to him when he was a child. In this case, it came to him after his brother told him that there were no superheroes any more because they had all disappeared after a great war with their respective supervillains.〔Mark Millar, ''Wanted'' (Hardcover), (Canada: Top Cow, 2005), p 140.〕 It was modified from a pitch by Millar for a Secret Society of Super-Villains series. 1986, the year of the aforementioned war in which the supervillains took over and made their world "darker and grittier", has real world significance to the world of comic books. It marks the publication of ''Batman: The Dark Knight Returns'', ''Watchmen'', and the completion of the 1985-86 ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' series. With regard to character design, the physical appearance of Wesley is based on rapper Eminem〔(Comic Book Movies - Wanted )〕 and the Fox's appearance is clearly modelled after actress Halle Berry.〔''Wanted'' introduction by G. Lavagna & M. Ricompensa, page 10; on ''Dark Side'' n.21 - December 2006, Panini Editore〕 Millar had originally planned to not have the characters in costumes, and that they would only be worn for initiation. However, he and J. G. Jones forgot about this, and the characters were indeed rendered wearing familiar supervillain costumes by midway through the series. Many of the characters in this series bear abilities and traits similar to notable comic book supervillains. The series began publication in 2004, as part of Millar's ''Millarworld'' line. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wanted (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
