However, Millar has apparently considered doing his comics in a different way &#8211; by publishing new titles under a pseudonym.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran comics writer explained as much during a recent interview he did with\u00a0<a data-router-slot=\"disabled\" data-anchor=\"?v=IuAK3eVlTjA&amp;list=PLxyTNmetwO56BlS0RquJ0Fr34LAHq6uEm&amp;index=5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IuAK3eVlTjA&amp;list=PLxyTNmetwO56BlS0RquJ0Fr34LAHq6uEm&amp;index=5\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"www.youtube.com\" type=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TASQ ART YouTube page<\/a>. At one point in the discussion, Millar was asked about his creator-owned publishing imprint Side Hustle Comics &#8211; specifically, he was asked, whether there was a time Millar considered publishing a Side Hustle project using a different name?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honestly,&#8221; Millar began, &#8220;You spend your whole life building your reputation. It&#8217;s a huge advantage if you&#8217;ve done <a data-router-slot=\"disabled\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TmuP6N\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"amzn.to\" type=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Civil War<\/a> and you&#8217;ve done big movies and things like that. It gives you a slight advantage &#8211; well, a huge advantage over just starting from scratch, you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But you know what?&#8221; he continued, &#8220;That might be quite fun. I might do that in the next couple of years. Just make up a name and do an issue of Iron Man or something like that. Just for fun &#8211; just do one issue or something. That could be hilarious, actually. Yeah, I might do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t need to tell you, reader, that Millar is clearly speaking in the hypothetical here.
