Because of recent events I have decided to stop all work on my three posts which are currently still unfinished ( hopefully not for long ) and instead start another new post supporting comicbook master Frank Miller.
As usual the whole thing has been started by the SJWs dragging up some old work of somebody much more talented then them which already had all the usual suspects who are easily offended up in arms, not years ago but decades ago. It seems that the people who work in the comicbook industry Today have no memory nor sense of history which for me can be the only explanation why the same comics are dagged up again and again as the same people with their own political agendas keep shouting for heads to roll. Like they say here in Spain : Te conozco bacalado aun que vengas disfrazado. How many times do we comicbook afficionados have to hear the same rants - and what´s more important - how many times are we supposed to care ? I don´t know about you but once something like this has been discussed and every party has said all there is to say about it I consider the case closed. I know that there are people who can´t let go of a topic even if is already Yesterday´s news and nobody cares about it.
But that doesn´t mean I have to waste my time dealing with these angry people. Heck, that´s why I stopped participating in online message boards and started writing this very blog. Because I was sick and tired of having the same discussion with the same people hearing the same arguments over and over and over and over again. When I´m writing my blog I can get everything off my chest I have to say and the people who read it can take it or leave it. And I don´t have to deal with what other people think about the topic if I don´t want to. I can even delete their commentaries if I don´t like them. Not that I have ever done that. But I could if I wanted to. Anyways, once again a feminist has been outraged and since she not only played the old chauvinist card but also involved racismn and religion the old peer pressure has kicked in and things have been blown out of proportion. Now I am not saying that the whole thing has no foundation and I am not saying that people don´t have the right to their own opinion but how long do we as comicbook people have to keep chewing up the same piece of gum ? Even radioactive isotopes have their half life period.
Longtime comic readers know that before Frank Miller revolutionized comic books with the Man without Fear and then again with the Dark Knight and a third time with Sin City he worked on many different Marvel books. And a lot of them involved your friendly neighborhood webhead.
pay homage to one of the great creators whose mind - blowing work has had a big impact on comics not once, not two but three times.
Of course his input on DAREDEVIL is what cemented his version as the definite coda, the blueprint all later versions followed - at least the good ones - and you possibly cannot find a better complete package where the mood, storytelling and art is concerned. And as every comic fan worth his salt I have read all of the issues.
