By geoff.klock@gmail.com (Geoff Klock) A great point about Claremont's word choices, Jason. There is something odd, though, about a writer who as you have pointed out cares about language so much -- and even has Banshee name drop Joyce -- ending up primarily as a comics writer rather than a novelist. (How do his novels compare on th...

By Brian Cronin By the way, amusingly enough, I’ve found at least one Who’s Who that confused Miller with the legendary comic book creator, Frank Miller (once you toss in the popular newspaper comic STRIP artist of the same name, and damned if you can think of a single name better represented in comic hist...

By Rokk Krinn Creative Team Writer: Frank Miller Penciler: Jim Lee Inker: Scott Williams Comments The Good: All Star Batman #6 was a great read. I am having an absolute blast reading this title. I know that a lot of people have been put off by Miller’s goddamn Batman especially when Batman locked Dick Grayson in the Batcave and left him to feed off rats. Personally, I don’t mind this version of Batman at all. It is Frank Miller, people. Miller has never been shy about his writing style. Miller is not hard to gauge. You know exactly what you are going to get when you read a Frank Miller comic book. You will get a film noir themed story full of testosterone, whiskey and cigarette smoke. The women are women and the men are men and they can all kick ass.   [read the full post]
