Infobox Comics creator. imagesize = 150 caption = birthname = birthdate = location = deathdate = deathplace = nationality = Irish area = writer alias = notable works " Shade, the Changing Man " "Enigma" " X-Force " awards = Peter Milligan is an British writer, best known for his comic book , film and television work. Biography. Early career. Milligan started his comic career with short stories for "2000 AD" in the early 1980s. By 1986, Milligan had his first ongoing strip in "2000AD" called "Bad Company", with artists and Brendan McCarthy . "Bad Company" was a science fiction war story in "2000AD", it was immensely popular and helped Milligan become better known. Concurrently, Milligan, Ewins and McCarthy had been working on the anthology title, "Strange Days" for Eclipse Comics . "Strange Days" featured three strips, Paradax , "Freakwave" and " Johnny Nemo ". Milligan, McCarthy and Ewins produced three issues of this psychedelic comic, it was not a great seller but it picked up a small, loyal readership. The most conventional strip, "Johnny Nemo", had its own series while the more quirky "Paradax" had a two issue series published by Vortex Comics in 1987. By 1989 Milligan was swapping between more conventional strips such as "Bad Company", while still writing his more surreal efforts in "2000AD", such as " Hewligan's Haircut " with artist Jamie Hewlett . Milligan with artist Jim McCarthy created the Steve Ditko-inspired Bix Barton. This was first run as a black and white strip for it's first outing (Barton's Beasts) the second strip was called Carry On Barton (originally Carry On Snuffing), the strip was very popular and was a precursor of Devlin Waugh and others. In 1989 he had his first work published by DC Comics . " Skreemer " was a six issue mini series with art by Brett Ewins that was somewhat lost in the midst of the so-called "British Invasion" of American comics of the time. A dark post-apocalyptic gangster story, it did receive critical acclaim but did not sell well. Milligan however was soon to become a regular writer for DC while still working on his more personal comics in the UK in comics such as "2000AD", and its spin off titles "" and "Revolver". "Skin" "Skin" (art by Brendan McCarthy ) was the story of a young thalidomide skinhead in 1970s London , and his attempts to deal with his disability and the world in general. The strip was due to feature in "Crisis" in 1990 but the publishers, Fleetway were worried by the controversial subject matter, plus they were concerned with the explicit use of language in the story. The printers refused to print it, blaming the graphic language and controversial subject matter as a reason. The story remained in limbo until eventually being published as a by Tundra with little, or no controversy. It remains one of Milligan's most powerful and acclaimed works. The 1990s. Milligan had started to revamp Steve Ditko 's character " Shade, the Changing Man " for DC Comics in 1990. This proved to be his largest break into American comics and came at the end of the first wave of "The British Invasion" of comics. Milligan updated and adapted many of Ditko's concepts, while adding his own ideas to embark upon one of the most bizarre titles published by DC. In 1993, it was one of the first wave of Vertigo titles with issue 33. It was a steady seller but it was cancelled with issue 70. A one-off story for Vertigo's tenth anniversary was published in 2003. Milligan also succeeded on " " for a six issue run in 1991, Citation | last = Irvine | first = Alex | author-link = Alexander C. Irvine | contribution = Animal Man | editor-last = Dougall | editor-first = Alastair | title = The Vertigo Encyclopedia | pages = 27 | publisher = Dorling Kindersley | place = New York | year = 2008 | ISBN = 0-7566-4122-5 | oclc = 213309015 ] and became the regular writer of Batman in " Detective Comics " in the same year. It was during one meeting of Batman writers that Milligan came up with the initial idea which led to the " Knightfall " storyline which was to cross over all the Batman family of titles. Milligan however had finished writing "Detective Comics" and was not involved with the crossover. Milligan also created the highly acclaimed "Enigma", with artist Duncan Fegredo for Vertigo in 1993. In this, Milligan introduced a gay superhero and dealt with his subject manner in his usual surreal way. Citation | last = Irvine | first = Alex | author-link = Alexander C. Irvine | contribution = Enigma | editor-last = Dougall | editor-first = Alastair | title = The Vertigo Encyclopedia | pages = 66 | publisher = Dorling Kindersley | place = New York | year = 2008 | ISBN = 0-7566-4122-5 | oclc = 213309015 ] Milligan quickly followed this up with "The Extremist" with artist Ted McKeever . Citation | last = Irvine | first = Alex | author-link = Alexander C. Irvine | contribution = The Extremist | editor-last = Dougall | editor- first = Alastair | title = The Vertigo Encyclopedia | pages = 71 | publisher = Dorling Kindersley | place = New York | year = 2008 | ISBN = 0- 7566-4122-5 | oclc = 213309015 ] Both titles dealt with taboo subjects for a mainstream publisher, but were applauded by their handling of these subjects. Milligan spent the remainder of the decade writing one-off specials such as "Face" and " The Eaters ", or mini series like "Egypt" and " Tank Girl " with its creator Jamie Hewlett providing art. Milligan and Brendan McCarthy's psychedelic classic "Rogan Gosh" was reprinted in a collected edition by Vertigo in 1996, after being first serialised six years earlier in "Revolver". Milligan rounded out the decade by writing a four issue mini series featuring " The Human Target ". Proving to be Milligan's most conventional title for DC so far, it was also very popular and brought him to the attention of many who had been unaware of him and his works. "X-Force" / "X-Statix" In 2001 Marvel Comics was undergoing a revamp by its new editor-in-chief Joe Quesada and one of his aims was to revamp the X-Men family of titles.Milligan was given " X-Force " to write with issue 116, and right away he removed the Rob Liefeld style superheroics and replaced it with a more satirical tone. Milligan and artist Mike Allred also removed the traditional superhero names and replaced them with names which sounded more like product brand names. Characters such as the Orphan, the Anarchist , U-Go Girl , Phat , Vivisector , Venus Dee Milo , Dead Girl and Doop formed this new team.This was not well received by some fans of the title, and many wanted "their" X-Force back, a comment Milligan would later parody in the pages of the title. These criticisms aside, the title sold well and even received mainstream media coverage both in America and Europe . Milligan's run was acclaimed for its different take on the super hero genre, however "X-Force" was cancelled with issue 129 so it could become " X-Statix ", with Allred still as artist. It was on "X-Statix" that Milligan would once again become controversial when a proposed plotline was to feature a resurrected Princess Diana as a superhero and X-Statix team member.News of this spread to the press, including the British tabloid newspaper " The Daily Mail " who strongly objected to the idea. Eventually the character of Diana was altered, as were the references to the Royal Family but not before the story had been reported around the world.This aside, "X-Statix" was cancelled with issue 26, though several trade paperback s were released. Present day work. Milligan's recent film work includes the screenplay for "Pilgrim" (a 2000 movie sometimes shown as "Inferno"), which stars Ray Liotta . He also scripted the 2002 adaptation of the Melvin Burgess novel " An Angel for May ". He was the regular writer on " X-Men " with artist Salvador Larroca in 2005, writing issues #166-187. Milligan returned to "Human Target" with a straight to graphic novel story "Final Cut", after which he wrote all of 21 issues of the ongoing series for Vertigo.In 2006 he wrote a five issue mini series titled "" with artist Nick Dragotta and co-creator Mike Allred for Marvel Comics . In 2007, Milligan will write a continuing series featuring Infinity, Inc. Max Fiumara is scheduled to do art chores on the book. In July 2007 a Wildstorm series by Milligan started, called "The Programme". It features the revival of a Soviet Cold War superhero. [ http://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=7689 DC details for "The Programme" #1 ] ] Milligan has also been involved in 2007's "Batman" crossover, "", by writing the lead-in "Batman Annual" #26, as well as the parts of the series in the "Robin" monthly title. Most recently, Milligan penned the script for the BBC interactive animated series "Meta4orce" [ http://www.bbc.co.uk/switch/meta4orce/index.shtml ] Bibliography.

Stormwatch, Volume 2: Enemies of Earth Review - Peter Milligan. If these New 52 Volume 2s are anything to go by, DC should be called Enemies of Good Comics as Stormwatch, Volume 2: Enemies of Earth, sees the series that started off so promisingly completely drop the ball in just their second outing! Stormwatch are basically The Authority, a superhero team from the ​00s featuring Superman/Batman facsimiles Apollo and Midnighter (who​re also gay lovers), Angie the Engineer who​s swapped out her blood for liquid technology enabling her to manifest any machine she can imagine, Jack Hawksmoor who can talk to and control cities, and Jenny Quantum a 12 year old who is the literal manifestation of the zeitgeist or spirit of the age. Also included for some reason is J​onn J​onzz, the Martian Manhunter. The writer of the mediocre pun-y Batman New 52 title ​The Dark Knight: Knight Terrors​, Paul Jenkins, writes the first two issues of the book in what might be ironically titled given this review - ​Supercritical​. This story is the worst part of the book because of the pseudo-scientific dialogue Jenkins has loaded the issues with. The headaches begin on page 3 when J​onn says ​the protonic mass is p+ at 1.673 x 20-27 and merely predicts the end result. G.U.T. tells us a branon must exist in higher dimensional space​. Got that? Me neither. (To be fair this particular dialogue is taken from a science lesson J'onn is giving Jenny but this kind of speech percolates throughout this book). Also included are references to anti-leptons, Compton scatter fields, pradesh gravitons, Golbach's Conjecture, and 5-space which I can​t tell are real things or made up to make it seem like J​onn and Jenny are hyper intelligent. All I know is reading those things means absolutely nothing to me. But what​s the story of Supercritical? An electric tentacle monster in Chernobyl somehow relates to the mash-the-keyboard-with-your-head named Chrszy-rr who​re the baddies mining our dimension for gravity ​ really. It involves Midnighter travelling to their dimension to shoot some kind of energy thing into something else​ this ​story​ is as messy as the aliens​ name. It ends with this nose-bleed-inducing exchange between J​onn and Angie: J​onn: Time exists at all points in 5-space. Now that the Chrysz-rr know we are here, they need only come back in our distant past and begin again. Angie: Wouldn't that create a temporal paradox? J​onn: Only in this dimension. Angie: Is there anything we can do to stop it? J​onn: No. ​Supercritical​ is the kind of storyline that might excite someone who​s really into abstract sci-fi stories but for most people, it is utterly inscrutable and painful to read. It is the worst thing I​ve read in the New 52 so far ​ and I​ve read Blackhawks! Thankfully Paul Jenkins was ejected from Stormwatch after his dreadful 2 issues and Peter Milligan was brought in. It​s a slightly better fit as the stories Milligan writes are more comprehensible and interesting but he is the writer of Red Lanterns and Justice League Dark, both of which are as mediocre as Jenkins​ ​Dark Knight​ series. Instead of establishing a large story arc, Milligan chooses instead to write done-in-one issues so there isn​t a good flow to the rest of the book, no overarching story to follow. The villains in these stories are kind of obvious but also slightly abstract ​ a metahuman modelled after Da Vinci​s Vitruvian Man, some kind of possessed human/alien hybrid, a shadow group who​ve been around for millennia dead set on destroying Stormwatch. They​re obvious in that they​re monstrous and powerful shooting colourful energy beams, etc. but also have the decency to be defeated by Stormwatch before the end of the issue only for the team to do it all over again in the next issue, etc. etc. ad infinitum. It​s so tedious to read when there are no stakes involved. Milligan brings in the Red Lanterns for a crossover which was may be the best issue in this book which is shocking as it​s pretty dumb. Skallox, the goat(ish)-headed Red Lantern crashes into Devon, England for some reason (probably explained in the Red Lanterns series?) and Apollo and Midnighter beat him up. Taking him back to their ship, the badly named Eye of the Storm (what was wrong with the Carrier?), Atrocitus, the mad leader of the Red Lanterns, shows up with his cat, Dex Starr, having been drawn by Skallox​s ring. Fighting ensues with Midnighter punching the cat and, like all crossover fights, it ends abruptly with no real winner. The dust settles, the pointlessness of the crossover is further underlined by the fact that nothing has changed, and the book carries on. As bad as Jenkins​ ​Supercritical​ storyline was, the worst issue in the book is definitely the final one where J​onn J​onzz, for no reason, decides to Men-in-Black everyone, wiping their memories of his time in Stormwatch, effectively retconning himself out of the comic! Well there is a reason ​ he​s now part of the newly re-launched Justice League of America - but in terms of this series, there​s no discernible reason and feels horribly contrived. The issue​s sloppy plotting and bad writing left a bitter taste in this reader​s mouth and was the perfect terrible ending to a badly put together second volume in this series. The excellent Paul Cornell wrote the first Stormwatch book, as well as the superb Demon Knights, but for whatever reason left this title after the first volume. His absence is keenly felt as Paul Jenkins and Peter Milligan combined don​t match Cornell​s writing ability at all and the unevenness of the writing and general plotting of the series makes ​Enemies of Earth​ an absolute disaster of a comic.
