I used to love me some Mark Millar. And to an extent I still do, though I’m beginning to grow tired of his formula. Super Vulgarity + Super Violence + “Superheroes in the Real World” x Infinity Comic books. But despite my Millar-Fatigue, I’m sort of excited for another creator owned title of his. Because I’m a worthless fanboy.

Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu have announced “Superior,” a new, creator-owned project that will be hitting stores in October 2010. While little is known about the series at this time other than the title, Millar has provided CBR with an exclusive look at these 5 teaser posters for the project.

Perhaps Millar is taking on a more uplifting approach with this comic? The teasers seem pretty dismal, and a bit provocative. It’d be nice to see Millar take on something that isn’t all doom and gloom, or rather convey a message that isn’t “LOL, Superdeath!!!!”, but maybe I’m just overreacting. His run on Old Man Logan certainly posited a flower amidst a wasteland. Like I said, I can’t help but be intrigued.

I love me some Mass Effect. And while I don’t think there’s anything in the cards for a Mass Effect MMO (as of yet, mind you), the idea of being able to romp around with fellow space-nerd-cadets in the Mass Effect universe makes me tingly and grin like a fucking asshole.

A job listing reveals that Mass Effect developer BioWare Montreal is looking for a multiplayer programmer to “take existing single player user experiences and make them multiplayer safe.” Is Mass Effect going multiplayer?

…

“Multiplayer Programmers ensure the game engine and game systems work reliably and efficiently in a multiplayer environment. They work with both the front and back ends to take existing single player user experiences and make them multiplayer safe.”

…

It’s no confirmation, but then what else is BioWare working on that would require a multiplayer programmer? Right now they’ve got Dragon Age, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Mass Effect, and the job posting singles out Mass Effect.

No confirmation, but it certainly suggests something in the works, no? Righteous. Most righteous.

Despite hating Kate for something around six seasons and seventeen levels of ferocity, I had to appreciate this.
