I'm mostly through volume three and forgot to post a review of this. I have a migraine that I finally tamed, I'm stressed out again and I'm going to take a day for myself. Binge watching Savage Dragon and binge reading Spawn. The perfect day to be honest. Not a long review, but I still...
Just didn't work for me. Some of the speech bubbles has text missing and the characters of Lex and Timmy are unrecognisable with their movie counterparts. A bit too corporate centered and choppy, switching back and forth between various sub-plots, to work as a cohesive comic, for me. I'm giving bonu...
The Dark Knight is back, again, and this time facing a threat that extends far beyond Gotham City. Miller somehow exceeded my expectations with this sequel to 'Dark Knight Returns'. He uses a lot of the same methods to convey the warped modern world he did thirty years ago and it still makes sense. ...
The first time I read Give Me Liberty, it was in the late 1990s. I was working as a sales assistant in a comic specialty shop and the owner had actual copies of single issues of a very hard to find mini-series. It blew me away after I read it and I never thought how beautiful Martha Washington was, ...
Fills in Dead Parents square on the DC Comic Book Bingo card (then again, what DC character wouldn't fill in this square, lol). Color me unimpressed with Frank Miller and his interpretation of Batman. This was a DC comic for non-DC readers; there was no real humor or brightness to act as a counter...
Let me talk about what I don't like first: Elektra. The romance, the slow build up, and the deterioration of Matt and Elektra's relationship was evocative, beautiful and heartbreaking when Miller first wrote it. Here, he has her wild, hearing voices, and quite possibly mentally ill - or possesse...
Batman has always been one of my favorite DC characters. Batman: Year One is the perfect book to read about the beginning of Batman's saga. The story and artwork is amazing. A great read for all Batman fans.
Like with how Miller uses women. He fridges them, he treats women's issues lightly, but for all that, he tells a damn good story. And it's brilliant to see how he's evolving as an artist even through a year; he does evolve, and I can see the beginning of his iconic style in these earlier drawing...
