Wanted was sort of subversive, in that the final page featured the protagonist telling all the readers to go fuck themselves. Having achieved his power fantasy, he became a total asshole filled with scorn for everybody else who isn't him.

That's Millar's MO, though, writing terrible things and then insulating them in a layer of irony, where you're supposed to appreciate them ironically and unironically simultaneously. I actually kind of appreciate that degree of commitment to being disingenuous, it's sort of an art form in itself.
