- THE ULTIMATES. In 2002, Millar's revamping and Bryan Hitch's art changed the game in terms of alternate "Avengers" stories. It was a modern rejigging of the team for the Ultimates universe that saw them kicking it off against aliens.
- KICK-ASS. "Kick-Ass" was one of those coming-of-age movies that may well have been better adapted in cinema, with changes made that actually worked for the movie's benefit.
- HUCK. Millar usually puts out obtuse and violent stories but no matter what, "Huck" will stand head and shoulders above, washing all obscenities away.
- WANTED. One of his Millar's most notable works, and the first to get the movie treatment, was "Wanted." The film adaptation in 2008 was very loose and much more grounded, but the comic was a gloriously obnoxious, profane work of art.
