Awesome interview.
I like his opinions on terrorism, and believe Marvel should do whatever
it take to get him to do a Marvel Knights Captain America mini series.

I particularly enjoyed, and agreed with, his opinions on accepting what you deem as "quality" with regarding the history of an ongoing title and ignoring all the inevitable mindless crap. This is a stance that gets old Marvel fans through the day.
And Elektra IS dead.

At the risk of starting a tussle...
It's interesting. His comments on terrorism and terrorists was much more
reactionary than I would expect. In reading, Dark Knight Strikes Again in
particular, he seems to have a more left-leaning bent... Maybe I've just
been misreading him.
"Almost half my country equates flushing a Koran down a toilet with
sawing the head off an innocent contractor, or using airplanes those
barbarians could never have invented to slaughter thousands of my
neighbors. Much of Europe shrugs off the disgusting murder of director
Theo Van Gogh. And Paris Hilton and Michael Jackson's noseless face get
the headlines."
I'm with him on the last sentence, but I'm surprised at his hyperbole
around people equating flushing the Koran with other violent acts. That
seems like a huge overstatement. I just think he's wrong (in a reactionary
way) about the response to actual acts of terrorism. These are
Limbaughian or O'reillyian taling points, it seems to me.
Elektra is dead, though.

*****************************************************
Miller's upset with the people who believe that flushing a Koran down
the toilet is morally equivelant to tha atrocities committed by
terrorists. While Limbaugh & O' Reilly would surely agree with him,
Miller's position strikes me as moderate & sensible.
Elektra may be dead, but am I wrong to have enjoyed her appearances in (Mark) Millar's Wolverine?

Thank you Thanos! That was an excellent read. More Martha Washington in the future. I can't wait. Also, I loved how he described Islamic terrorists, "our blood enemy." Right on, Frank. He's always been such a passionate guy.

"COMICDOM: Then came DARK KNIGHT RETURNS ...
FRANK MILLER: Once it came out, I knew it was selling through the roof and
getting wild attention from mass media. DC was very happy. Batman was
back, and finally the badass son of a bitch he always should've been."
Of course I've been hearing a lot of talk amongst fans that Infinite Crisis is going to be bringing back a kinder, gentler, saner Batman. They're happy because they feel that Batman has become a total a$$hole.

"Dark" Knight does not mean "Psychotic-Ninja-Nutjob" Knight.
What Frank Miller did was create one very cool story--well, two, counting Batman: Year One. Then, it seemed that everyone wanted out-Miller Miller, and that's where things went terribly wrong.
Then, there's All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder--a tremendous train wreck.

Except that he states that almost half the country has that position. I vehemently disagree.
