Michael @ Knowledge Lost reviewed Wanted by Mark Millar
Review of 'Wanted' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I enjoy graphic novels, simply because they are very easy to read and I love the art work and story telling mix. I just finished Wanted which was the combination of the six comics into one graphic novel. Yes, there was a movie based on it, which started with a white Angelina Jolie (I know she is always white but the character she played…not so much). The only common elements between the Graphic Novel and the book were their names and the fact that Wesley’s dad died and he finally learned about his father.
The story follows the story of Wesley Gibson (The Killer) who ends up been apart of Secret Society of Super-Villains. The story is gruesome and politically incorrect version of the standard ‘Lost Mans discovery of himself.’ Wesley looks too much like Eminem but the rest of the art work was really good with some very interesting looking Villains and no superheros. It was an interested twist on a basic story line, but full of action and disturbing elements to keep me interested.
