Episodio 370: Millarworld: Un mooomento, ¿Donde he visto algo parecido? - Es una pregunta que estoy seguro se ha hecho usted, osado podescucha, al leer cualquier historia de Mark Millar. Un tipo que no sólo se ha hecho millonario con sus creaciones y sus cómics, sino que con su excepcional ejecución de conceptos que podríamos vagamente considerar familiares, mantiene su autonomía y libertad para contar historias propias y es actualmente uno de los autores más respetados y autónomos en toda la industria del cómic gringo con un estupendo modelo de negocios peculiar y difícil de duplicar. Sólo él podría conjuntar en una sola historia a todos, todos sus personajes independientemente de su género, ya sea ciencia ficción, fantasía o algún giro especial sobre las conocidas reglas del género de superhéroes, y además haciendo que nosotros, los lectores, nos sintamos homenajeados con ese clímax tan especial.
