  Skreemer.htm Review of the Peter Milligan Graphic Novel Skreemer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
This is a collection of the 1989 6-issue mini-series; though not originally published under DC's Vertigo imprint, the book certainly falls into the "for mature readers" category.
Milligan was among those revolutionising comics in the mid- to late-eighties.
Though his major title, at least in terms of length, was Shade the Changing Man (which ran for 70 issues), most of his best work was in the form of mini-series like The Extremist, Egypt and The Enigma and one-shots like Skin.

Peter Milligan is one of the best writers of comics and graphic novels.
Milligan's scripts are fast and funny, allowing the mind melting artwork of McCarthy to dominate.
But Milligan drags this cliched scenario into the modern world: his team are ego heavy celebrities who argue amongst themselves whilst being manipulated by their agents and the media (the missions are all televised).

 Into Liquid Sky - Collectibles Reviews
So the name was changed to 'Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider Man', and the focus of the book was geared towards the wonderful cast of supporting characters that had been built up in Peter's personal life over the years…whereas 'Amazing…' focused more on fighting costumed super-villains and such.
This was a great idea, but ultimately 'Peter Parker…' gave in to the demands of the 80s, which were for lots of costumed action.

 BUZZSCOPE :: Comics You Should Own #5 - Batman "Dark Knight, Dark City"
Peter Milligan is one of the more bizarre comics writers out there, and not in a Grant Morrison "I love superheroes and love making them do mad, glorious things" kind of way, but in a more disturbing way.
Milligan puts the Riddler in a situation that makes sense (in the context of a comic book, true, but still...) and the characters comment on why he has become more bloodthirsty and cruel.
The key to Milligan's Batman is that he is someone who wants to unravel the evil of the world, but he never loses sight of the brightness that can come through the evil.

Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan were involved, being aided by other entertainers including Eric Sykes, Kenneth Connor, Graham Stark, Valentine Dyall, June Whitfield and Max Geldray.
By now Milligan was growing tired with the standard format of sketch-show comedy and began to experiment with even more outlandish humour, sketches without a real tag line and animated sequences to link sketches.

So when it was announced that X-Statix, Peter Milligan's lively and cheeky version of X-Factor would be suspended for two issues, it seemed like bad news.
Milligan wonderfully strips Wolverine of the hot-tempered madman persona, where he uses his claws more often than his brains.
X-Statix is Milligan's chance to mine celebrity culture and parody both the idols and the idol-worshipers with a relatively literary style.

 I Am NOT The Beastmaster: Bizarre Love Triangle
Now Peter Milligan is back on X-Men, the comic that used to be Morrison’s, but it just isn’t the same.
Milligan’s relationship dynamics aren’t nearly as melodramatic (or overwritten) as they were in Claremont’s heyday, but if you can tell a four-issue story that doesn’t feature one single act of superheroics then I’m not certain you need to be telling that story with superheroes anymore.
But it is disappointing to see Milligan go so mainstream when he's capable of doing much wilder stuff within a franchise and, more broadly, it's disappointing to see that today's mainstream is so much more timid than it was even a few years ago.

PETER MILLIGAN has been named as the new writer on X-Men.
I've only really read X-Statics from Milligan and it was only really okay for me. It wouldn't be fair for me to judge before I read it but I will say this was a surprise decision and one I'm cautious on, but not completely against.
Ya, I think Milligan's a good writer, he's basically been writing a satire style for all the issues of X-Statix, and I've really liked X-Statix and think it's great it's ending on a high note like the arc currently happening.

One of the best mini-series in 1999, by my estimation, was the Human Target by Peter Milligan and Edvin Biukovic, an action movie on paper with psychological undertones that kept the reader guessing throughout, as well as gasping at the beauty of the artwork and the incredible gunfight choreography.
In Milligan's hands, Christopher Chance is more than simply a gimmick, a bodyguard who disguises himself as the target to fool assassins.
Milligan has decided to explore what living this kind of life would do to a man, how his personality might fracture and indeed his sense of reality might suffer as he undergoes frequent total changes of lifestyle and habits.
