How many of you goons moaning for Frank Millers death over having different political views from yourself are anti death penalty? His interpretation of the human form is way more offensive, anyway.

Sin City rules but Frank Miller is horrible. His super stylized post-noir story-scape was hugely inspiring for a generation of kids who wanted a darker, grittier story and images, and he really deserves the respect those earned him because as comics guy, his Sin City/300/Dark Knight stuff is absolutely at the pinnacle of comics as we know them. I am unsurprised that he is a racist lunatic and just hope he has the decency to die before writing a book where Marv hunts down some Islamic abortionist or something. Real talk if you cannot appreciate Sin City then please go read Dilbert or whatever the gently caress IT-office nerd poo poo you got, I'll be over here with the cool guy sex-havers reading our black & white titty/gun comics for adults. lovely people make real art sometimes. Real talk though he looks like the grandpa from Hey Arnold! but I know he wouldn't be as cool IRL.

Hmm yeah oh pinnacle of comic books hmmm let's have a look at dark knight returns oh the joker is riding a jet-powered doll or something um oh batman just kicked through a greek column uh wow this is so gritty and cool all comic books are poo poo. the pinnacle you are describing is like the pointy bit of a turd where it gets pinched off by your sphincter edit: shame he has cancer (?) though, hopefully he'll beat it. looks like he's doing chemo or something Buck Turgidson fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Aug 17, 2014 |

Unlike you, I was desensitised to Alan Moore, which was both my triumph and my tragedy. I think he's still doing comics about younger women who go for older men.

Saga is a pretty good comic book series and I hope HBO picks it up for a TV series. The only thing you need to know about saga is this: Scrotum Ogre and that's five pages in and it just keeps going up from there

Genuine big fan of Alan Moore, but yeah the wizard-sex and everything from about halfway through Book 4 of Promethea onward sucks the big one, and Moore is so firmly rooted in his "dirty old man" phase of writing it either indicates he gets so much sex he doesn't know how to talk about anything else or more likely he really really wants to be that guy.

Even Dark Knight Returns blows. It's so loving ugly I didn't even realize that I had no idea what was even happening until I tried to read it again a few years ago. When they autopsy Miller they'll discover a degenerative brain disease that slowly warped his perception down to where he didn't realize he had stopped using color or started distorting the human form. Sometimes when I hear about comic book people and their terrible beliefs and behavior I get really worried that I read so many comic books when I was an impressionable child. I loved John Byrne Fantastic Four and X-Men by Chris Clairmont, and Alan Moore and Frank Miller and there's probably so much weird rape and scary libertarianism mixed all up in there that I worry about what it did to my developing brain.

 Since you don't even know it's just called "Watchmen" *snrk* I suppose you don't realize that that one actually lives up to its hype and it's merely its xerox progenitors that suck, which aren't its fault

Also those stories are cool, the art is gorgeous, evocative and haunting and the writing has amazing personality. Like I get you hate cool stuff, ok, but these comics are good by many metrics so I don't get where your criticism comes from.
