It wasn't sold, in fact, until after it was actually made. (Last August, to be precise.) Until then, there wasn't movie money to be made; there was movie money to be paid out (although I doubt very strongly that Millar did any of the actual paying).I'm not sure why you keep arguing this point. Millar very specifically said that he made more money from the Kick-Ass comic book than he made from any of his work-for-hire comic books. It had nothing to do with the movie; it was entirely in the context of making more money from creator-owned comic books than from work-for-hire comic books. And yes, Robert Kirkman notwithstanding you will make a lot more money from a creator-owned comic book if everybody knows you than if you're a nobody. But that doesn't change the alleged fact that Mark Millar made more money from Kick-Ass than he did from any of his work-for-hire books, nor does it make that alleged fact any less likely.
