@BigHitEnt
! I'm doing a lockdown Twitter Watch Party next week for our KINGSMAN movie & would like to invite the BTS boys to join me and the gang as I know they're big fans of the movie. Drop me a line if you fancy. Hope everyone is keeping well!

@BTS_twt
I have an idea, why don't you cast BTS on the next Kingsman movie, maybe the south korea division. that would be legendary. Me and my parents love your movies btw.
Thanks to all the lovely
@BTS_twt
fans yesterday for their kind words on our Kingsman movie. South Koreans are THE BEST! Hoping to get out there for a signing next year!!
I love how much
@bts_bighit
love Kingsman. Check out my Instagram page for some examples & a thank you to their wonderful fans for finding my daughter's missing teddy bear last month.
I still can’t believe we got our toy bear back from Finland after 2 weeks. It’s a miracle and wouldn’t have happened without the
@BTS_twt
fans uniting and making sure this was found. Thank you again to everyone. BTS must be very proud and honoured to have you as their army!
AMAZING NEWS! We just had word from
@SantasLapland
that our missing bear was found in Finland this morning! Huge thanks to them and the thousands of
@BTS_twt
fans who posted tweets like the one below over the past 24 hrs. My kids are SO DELIGHTED!!!

Note to all the
@BTS_twt
fans OUTSIDE South Korea (many of whom are saying hello!) my love and thanks to you all too, especially those helping look for that missing family bear :)
My oldest daughter loves BTS and, being my daughter, also loves Kingsman. She's done the most AMAZING pic that's a nod to both. I'll see if she lets me share it as I think everyone will love it.
Okay
@BTS_twt
Army. Here it is - My oldest daughter loves both BTS and Kingsman & drew this amazing piece as a tribute to both. She's going to make 7 special prints of this & send them to the boys. As always, I'm very proud of her :)

This week my 6 year old officially got into Star Wars, giving me the chance to blow her mind with a pic of her having lunch with Jedi Master

Hey
@BTS_ARMY
! I know you guys the most caring fans in the world. Could you retweet this? I’m hoping my friend’s brilliant idea for health workers catches on...
Hey folks, Plz RT rather than LIKE! My friend Tracy is making FREE MEALS for NHS workers & it's financed by public donations. I'm about to donate, but if you don't have the dough please share on your social media. This is a really great idea...
I was so appalled at the way a comic retailer was being harassed and bullied by a digital mob this week just for saying comic-books are going in the wrong direction I had to talk to him. Here is my interview with Glenn O'Leary from this afternoon...

The bullying of retailer Glenn O'Leary was the turning point last week. The change in the air was palpable. The absolute cruelty of these digital mobs was very, very visible to all and this won't be tolerated going forward. Glenn, you saved comics. You were our Spartacus! :)
I feel we're done with CGI villains. Think about the ones we remember: Loki, Hela, Hackman's Luthor, Ledger and Nicholson's Joker. We instinctively switch off in a third act now because the hero is fighting a digital drawing.
Terrible, terrible news as we hear that Kim Jung Gi, an absolute master and one of the greatest comic-book artists of his time, has died at the age of just 47. Please take a moment and scroll through his posts to appreciate his genius. May he rest in peace.
I was telling a pal this morning how the brilliant
#BTSARMY
helped find a teddy bear my youngest daughter lost in Finland 18 months ago. He could hardly believe it! This was a proper Christmas miracle, literally thousands of BTS fans helping track the wee guy down.
I met Alan Moore at a con when I was 13 and he talked to me for a whole hour. I had no money left and wanted to try his new swamp Thing so he bought it for me. 45p. I still have it.
In these crazy times when the political elites try to divide the masses, always remember that the brilliance of Batman: The Animated Series unites us all:
Thank you to everyone for RTing my friend’s health worker charity drive last night, especially the BTS fans who have proven themselves yet again to be the nicest crew on the internet! X

Talking to Glenn tonight on my Millar Time Youtube channel. All I've seen is guys pile on him for expressing legitimate concerns about his biz and I hate seeing people bullied. Looking forward to a proper chat & hearing his story in depth.

This vid had been everywhere the past 24 hrs & rightly so. The rest of us are armchair generals declaring news from the front. Comic Retailers are in the trenches and seeing EXACTLY what's going on. He's clearly passionate about the direct market and upset what's been done to it.
Stan Lee changed my life not once but twice. First when I was a kid and realised the superheroes I loved in comic-books and on TV could actually be a job. Then he did it again when I was working at Marvel and he convinced to start my Millarworld company.
Noticed some Cancel Pigs saying I stood up for retailer Glenn O'Leary to promote my books, but I give every cent of our budgets to the artists since I sold the company & literally just do the books for fun. I stood up for Glenn because it was the right thing to do.
A final word on me meeting Alan Moore as a schoolboy. He said thank you when he signed my comic and I asked him why he was thanking me. He said it was for my interest. Every book I’ve ever signed since I’ve said thank you because I remembered this and he was right.
Happy 70th Birthday to Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, the greatest artist ever to work at DC Comics and who draws their characters more perfectly than ANYONE:

@EricDJuly
kindly sent me the first 2 issues of his ISOM series this week and I loved them. Hard to believe this is the guy's first venture into comics. Really well put together. I also love to see a guy doing his own thing. Well done to him!
All those great
@bts_bighit
fans also welcome on our Facebook Page now. As are the boys themselves, of course. Best for 2020 to all of you and hope you enjoy the next movie!
HUGE news! I'm moving the entire Millarworld/ Netflix catalogue over to our friends at
@DarkHorseComics
. That's over 20 franchises & 40 graphic novels plus the FIVE NEW SERIES we're launching in 2024 and a slew of hardcover OMNIBUS EDITIONS. Stay tuned! :)
Our final lockdown Twitter Watch party is KINGSMAN next week and I'd like to invite BTS to join us. Who should I @, BTS fans? I know the guys are really into the movie!
Anyone in Scotland who is sleeping rough tonight is entitled to temporary accommodation as the temperature has reached LEGAL MINIMUM. They should go to any Scottish police station & ask them to call Council out of hours service. Please RT.
If The Avengers had been made in the 90s with Ford as Cap, Pitt as Thor, Tom Cruise as Iron Man, Tom Hanks as Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson as himself...
I don't have any skin in this game as I've worked elsewhere for a long time, but I've got a lot of pals at Marvel and DC & hate to see them struggling like this. I offer this advice in good faith in a bid to help super-charge both freelance deals & the corporations themselves...
That billion dollar gross Mario Bros is heading towards tells us just how much studios will be rewarded if they actually set out to please the fans instead of antagonising them. Look at 00s DVD interviews and see the same smart strategy applied to superhero fandom.
RIP Sean Connery. Scotland has never had an actor before or since with such instant & indescribable global impact. Like Billy Connolly in terms of comedy, he was the First Man on The Moon and thus can never be surpassed. Perhaps our greatest, coolest export of all time.
Every idiot cheering on these filmed street attacks on politicians is enabling the inevitable escalation. We used to have debate in this country. Now we have this...
They. Have. No. Power.
I spoke to one of DC's biggest writers at the weekend and he told me he's lived in fear of them for years, but I couldn't emphasise this hard enough.
Cancel Pigs hurt people for sport because they're damaged personalities. You must never take em seriously.
@Uhchire_Wolf
@mrmarkmillar
It’s funny they are flailing impotently in all fronts trying to cancel successful blokes like Millar, Wendigoon and internet historian and all three are pretty apolitical at the moment
I saw someone say 'Well, The Punisher was always very problematic' and I almost put my fist through the screen. Travis Bickle & Richard III were also problematic. All interesting characters are. This ideological puritanism is the enemy of creative thought and must be rejected.
Some genuine career advice for any wannabe Cancel Pigs - A huge part of freelance life is your peers/ editors wanting to work with you. Everyone just wants to enjoy their job and have fun. If you're toxic nobody wants to TOUCH you and many of you are in this place now.
