Wanted is a comic book limited series created by writer Mark Millar and artist J. G. Jones. It was published by Top Cow in 2003 and 2004 as part of Millarworld. It features an amoral protagonist Wesley F. Gibson who discovers he is the heir to a career as a supervillain assassin in a world where such villains, The Fraternity, have secretly taken control of the planet. The Sunday Times dubbed the title "the Watchmen for super-villains."
A film adaptation, very loosely based on the comic, was released in 2008, to which a video game sequel followed in 2009. Three crossover sequel comics, Savage Dragon: Wanted!, Nemesis: Reloaded, and Big Game, were released in 2006 and 2023 by Image Comics, seeing Wesley and the Fraternity crossover with the other Millarworld franchises. In 2024, the series was republished by Dark Horse Comics as Wanted & Big Game.
