Millar ok after reaction to Crohn's medication

This is pretty scary -- the Sunday Mail reports that comics writer Mark Millar, of Wanted, Fantastic Four and Civil War fame, almost died last month after having a severe reaction to his medication for Crohn's disease:

"I went off sick the first week of December and thought I had a heavy cold or flu. My temperature was a consistent 103F and I was awake all night shivering.

"After a week, it wasn't passing andmy wife made me an appointment with the doc.

"He did tests and found my blood was wonky, my spleen was huge and my liver was acting weird - all the symptoms of several very nasty things.

"I was sleeping 20 hours a day and have almost no memory of the whole episode."

Millar goes on to say that although he's feeling "a little stronger" now, he'll be taking January off in order to fully recover. On behalf of the rest of the Robot 6 crew, I'd like to wish Mark Millar a speedy recovery.
