Frank Miller fan working for Circe?"

"Um, what? I know I haven’t been following the series, but does that make any sense to anyone? It’s wrong for the story, wrong for the character, and doesn’t even work on the meta-level, since it’s so confusing."
-- "Comics Worth Reading"
So Frank Miller exists in the DCU? Kinda like those classic storylines from the 70s where the comic creators existed with the superheroes and such?
But a bigger question is:
Does "Wonder Woman" currently have an editor? Or does Jodi Picoult's script go immediately to the letterer?
Between this and Miller's recent "All-Star Batman" issue with WW saying "sperm dumpster" or whatever...geez, no wonder there is no Wonder Woman movie made yet.
I so hate to defend this title... in fact its sad that I am still reading it. I thought I had beat my completist addiction, but in all fairness the line is an easter egg/in-joke of sorts when (and I hate to further defend) Diana (former goddess of truth) can't remember the real name of Everyman.
ReplyDeleteI swear, if Gail Simone cannot save this book from the depths of shit it has sunk into I will probably sit in a corner and rock back and forth, silently weeping and petting my Wonder Woman tattoos whispering, "It's okay, it's okay, I remember the real you."
ReplyDeleteShe says "who is this Frank Miller fan" >.>;
ReplyDeleteWhich seems to imply that Frank Miller DOES exist in the DCU >.> Or she wouldn't have said "fan" o_o;;
And that confuses me even more :(
The original quote about the Frank Miller fan is probably in reference to a cover Frank did for a fanzine (L.O.C.) back when he was just breaking in.
ReplyDeleteIt featured Wonder Woman holding a sword and a battle ax.
I just read this storyline in trade. It's truly a piece of crap.
ReplyDeletePicoult turned a feminist icon into a fool who can't remember the difference between a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and rapidly-degenerating comic book innovator. That's akin to confusing Eugene O'Neill with Shaquille O'Neal.
