Millar and Harris Talk 'War Heroes' and Kirkman

The men behind "War Heroes" share all in an interview

Laura Hudson (Publisher's Weekly, Comic Foundry Magazine) interviewed writer Mark Millar and artist Tony Harris at Midtown Comics.

Along with discussing their new series, they also shared their thoughts on Robert Kirkman's recent video concerning creators pursuing original characters.

MILLAR: "To me, it just seemed exciting, the idea of doing a no-holds barred super-hero war comic. I touched on a lot of this stuff in The Ultimates 1 and 2. And a lof of theses ideas I was going to bring in to The Ultimates 3 but we thought, we're never getting away with this ... We just thought, why not just go out and do our own thing? And he same thing happened with Wanted ... That started off life as a proposal for DC Comics ... We took risks that we wouldn't have done with company-owned characters ... Our time's finite. We'll always own Kick-Ass. We'll always own Wanted ... I do think there are a couple of good reasons for working at Marvel and DC. Kick-Ass would not sell ... if we weren't the Ultimates guy or the Civil War guy."
