Frank Miller getting people's mic'ed at a comic convention would rule. "Well, what we were trying to do with Sin City 2 was --" "MIC CHECK! WE HAVE A MESSAGE FOR FRANK MILLER. YOU CAPITALIZE ON DIVIDING AMERICANS. YOU PROMOTE DISCRIMINATION. THIS DOES NOT HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE..."

And speaking of lunatics who write or draw comic books, I wonder what Dave Sim thinks of OWS.

"Tap the Brakes, Frank Miller" almost sounds like the name of a Judy Blume novel. 

But yeah, Frank Miller just scares me at this point.  I would have loved to have seen how he was going to ruin Buck Rogers, though.

Oh man, Neal Adams... that guy is a whole other kind of crank.

He's nuts, but its a pleasant, weird-science out-there, type of nuts which I dont mind. When Neal Adams got older, he shamed DC into giving Shuster and Siegel money, charges outrageous prices for con-sketches, writes and draws even nuttier Batman comics. (he also talks about himself in the 3rd person! he's almost from Newbridge, but sort of pleasant).

Also, has anyone been reading Adams' Batman:Odyssey? I haven't, but the coverage of it at http://comicsalliance.com is pretty hilarious.

I have! Its crazy, but the art is awesome. It makes no sense whatsoever but seeing all those crazy Batman ideas straight from his brain are sort of fun.

Since this has become a comics in general thread:

I read Comics Alliance and like it. I'm sure that a writer there, Chris Sims, is a Best Show fan as I believe he called up not too long ago.

 What are other good comic book news websites that aren't just cheesecake pinups and rewritten press releases?

Yes, Chris Sims is an FOT and FOEFD, and I think maybe related to Jason from Huntsville? Though Jason might have been pulling my leg.

I read Newsarama and Comic Book Resources, but they're not really as good as Comics Alliance. I like the Agent of S.T.Y.L.E. column in the former and the Comic Book Legends Revealed column in the latter, though.

Pretty good take on the Frank Miller controversy from the underrated Ty Templeton:

Classic Jeff Wells:

Asshole With Pork-Pie Hat

Comic-book illustrator and noir-style film director Frank Miller has dug himself a grave and is now lying flat in the mud and waiting for the dirt. I always thought Miller was an aesthetic lightweight and a sleazy masturbatory noir fetishist, but now that he's shown himself to be a Merle Haggard-style reactionary in terms of his views on the Occupy movement, he's a dead man.
