      Atm-Fall-Off-Boy Comic fans don't deserve Frank Miller. They throw away the importance of a great artist like him. They don't even know what exactly Miller revolutionized in the media. Miller needed a career in painting than doing things for this ungrateful comic book audience.

      @@pedrot.9569 Finally someone said it.The amount of nerd rage against Frank always disgusted me.
      Disagree about his work all you want,but at least be respectful about it.
      I believe he should be doing more experimental work like Xerxes,or work in Europe under Humanoids.The modern American super hero audience is dumb as hell,they just can't comprehend that someone is using a more abstract drawing style by choice.
      But I have to admit,I love the fact that he keeps making those nerds angry by coming back too superheroes.

      Evangelos005 Dude ... I went to see a lecture here in Brazil about fine arts and the announcer used Dark Knight Strikes Again and compared Frank Miller's drawings to Michelangelo's sketches (take a look at the muscular women Michelangelo drew - Miller is fascinated by women (not by chance, Elektra was inspired by the Lysa Lion). Miller studied Argentine noir comics like Breccia and Munoz, studied Europeans, studied manga. Then he went further and studied the modernist painters. Miller is one of the greatest cartoonists of all time and also a postmodernist artist making comics. Almost an underground cartoonist doing mainstream comics. And yes, I love his work to this day - people don't understand (anymore) Miller's sense of humor: this hysterical thing that the best American writers have. Anyway, like Miller, talented artists, instead of doing comics for this audience, could go to TV, movies, fine arts or literature, because for this current comic audience it's not worth it.
