It features an amoral protagonist, Wesley F.

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.
