Neither of us are huge comic fans I just thought it was funny that he came to the same conclusion as Willis without hearing the end of the story.

He also mentioned the good things, including his popularity, and skill in areas other than characters. And he's made one worthwhile (unspecified) sci-fi.

Not really disagreeing with the rampant sexism in comics or Frank Miller's integral role in perpetuating this... but I'll play devils advocate. You really should all check out the Martha Washington comics. She's kind of a great character... and its one of the least popular things hes done. So while he has a responsibility to avoid lapsing into what seems like all too familiar themes and characterization with him, some of his reputation now is due to the market. Of course he's known for the comics where he treats women like sh*t, thats what people are reading. Real quick, when you heard about Frank Miller, what did you here was "essential reading"? 300, Sin City, BatMan (where the commissioner is a stupid liberal woman) right? Maybe daredevil (which I haven't read and wont comment on). Even though he does have massive problems with characterization, the man is great at genre, art, and matching them to thematic insight. And while he built a reputation around the "grittier" parts of his resume, his real mistake is trying to replicate this success by playing up and emphasizing the "Damsel in Distress" and hardened prostitute lesbian tropes instead of bringing more nuance and dimension to his gift with stylized storytelling and genre. Not gonna lie, loved parts of Sin City, particularly "Family Values", in which the strippers take revenge on the mob for accidentally killing one of their lovers. But there are huge problems with it (The magic, silent, naked Japanese assassin for one), and the shame is the lack of growth. Its exciting because it suggests there can be depth, but then you read everything else and realizes that's all there is. Its bad writing, failing to fully realize the world you've built by populating it by silent cardboard bimbos. Its what frustrates me in comics, sometimes they excite me intellectually and viscerally, only to disappoint by (sometimes accurately) assuming their audience cant understand complexities. But sadly, there's a smaller market reading comics centered around an independent, smart black woman who keeps the ball rolling (and her clothes on) when everyone else has failed. What Im trying to say is, the man has produced ONE sci-fi genre gem that manages NOT to constantly whack you in the face with its problems while being genuinely funny and deserving its heart, and is worth checking out. Just saying. Okay,
