Holy Hilarity: Looking at Frank Miller’s “Holy Terror”

When discussing “Holy Terror,” Frank Miller has been very upfront that it’s a propaganda piece. Its goal is to paint the enemy in the most awful light possible to rally support. So when I read people like Wired.com’s Spencer Ackerman saying it is “completely uninterested in any nuance or empathy toward 1.2 billion people he conflates with a few murderous conspiracy theorists” I ask, “Why should it?” It’s propaganda. Propaganda is supposed to be one-dimensional. Did you expect it to be anything else? So onto the next question, is it any good? (more…)
My comic strip with the wonderful JoAnn Marie, “Laocorn” is being published in “Bio Gamer Girl” magazine. The first installment is in issue 9 which you can get here.

As one of the most successful writers in comic books, Grant Morrison’s body of work boasts legendary runs on New X-Men, JLA, All Star Superman, We3, and Arkham Asylum: A Strange House on Strange Earth. (Which I adapted into a play. Yes, shameless plug) While others like The Invisibles, The Filth, and Final Crisis have been called incomprehensible. One way or another people have an opinion of him. So when I found out his writing a book about super heroes and philosophy, I was curious. (more…)
How Karen Berger Can Save DC Comics

In one week DC Comics is re-starting their publishing line. If you haven’t heard about it you’ll start seeing ads on TV and online. Much ado has been made of this move with some loving it and some hating it. (You check out my take here) We won’t know until the books go on sale. However, when I was picking up my books today someone made a comment about “The New 52” being a stunt by DC to remain relevant. To an extent I think it is. But if DC wants to become relevant again and get people talking about their books, they need only look to their editorial department. They look to Karen Berger. Karen Berger is the Senior VP-Executive Editor of DC Comics’ Vertigo line, but should be promoted to Editor and Chief of DC Comics. (more…)

Let’s get down to business Captain America is the best movie I’ve seen all summer. Captain America is the best Marvel movie since Iron Man. It has the heart of the first Superman movie with Indiana Jones’ spirit of adventure. Want to know why and why you HAVE to stay after the credits? Read on. (more…)
