Mark Millar’s comic delusion

Over at Kotaku they’ve got a quote from Mark Millar of Civil War, Ultimates, and other big comic series fame. In it he gives a really bizarre reason for not wanting to work in games.

Here’s the money quote:

Like all my pals, the TV and movie people have come calling and even the computer game people (which is weird because games are for pedos and I have no interest).

Geeks have always been a cliquish sort, replacing the stereotypical jock/cheerleader/stoner/nerd hierarchy with one of their own. Recently I think it’s gotten out of hand. I think it’s because geeks have been vogue for a decade or so, and with the success of comic book movies things are getting even worse. I mean, when a guy that writes what George R.R. Martin fondly refers to as “funny books” starts believing he’s working in a media for mature readers, maybe things have gotten a little out of control.

I wonder if Mark Millar has ever heard of Roman Polanski?
