“It’s a 50-year story self-contained inside one franchise,” states Millar with regards to the upcoming series. “It’s got a cast of 50 or 60 super-characters. The story starts in 1929 and runs until the end of time. It runs through all time and space and explains the mystery of human existence, all tied into a superhero story.”
