<br />
Millar & McNiven’s NEMESIS RETURNS – Launching January 2013!<br />
<br />
Millarworld Ltd., have announced today that they will reschedule the release of Nemesis Returns, by the blockbuster creative team of Mark Millar & Steve McNiven. Both Millar and McNiven are committed to ensuring the new series hits a regular schedule and with the new launch date, fans worldwide can expect an experience like they never thought possible! In order to help facilitate the timeliness of the Nemesis Returns, Steve has teamed up with two exciting new talents and opened a new studio endeavor, Carbon Sun Studios.<br />
<br />
“Nemesis means a lot to me and I want it to be the best of my stuff out there,” said McNiven. “I want it done right, and we’ll make sure Nemesis gets his due.”<br />
<br />
Millar adds, “Did I mention that the series opens with a car driving out of an airplane and landing in a swimming pool?”<br />
<br />
Nemesis Returns is a follow-up to Millar and McNiven’s 2009-2010 series Nemesis, which is currently available in comic shops and bookstores across the globe.<br />
