7. MPH by Mark Millar and Duncan Fegredo (Image)
In the next phase of his career, Mark Millar is looking to create the 21st century version of the Marvel Universe through his Millarworld books, the first of which will be MPH with Hellboy artist Duncan Fegredo. Spinning out of Kick Ass 3, the final arc in the Kick Ass series, MPH is about four 19 year-olds who take an illegal street drug that gives them the power of moving at light-speed for seven days effectively making them a team of Flashs! The title is set in Detroit, a deliberate choice given the city's history of car manufacturing and title of the Motor City. Millar is calling MPH the Fast and the Furious without the cars and promises that the comic will showcase a new way of doing super-speed in comics. The six-issue limited series will be published by Image who're also currently publishing Millar's other comic, Jupiter's Legacy. MPH is expected to start in February.
