2.0 out of 5 starsUnholy Mess!
By O. george on 23 Nov. 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a very disappointing book which unfortunately does exactly what it says on the tin. Frank Miller promised a piece of propaganda and that's what you get: a one dimensional blast at the forces of evil that dared attack the USA.

The story reads like a precocious eleven year olds response to 9/11. The heroic superhero leaps over buildings and lands guns blazing to shoot, torture and kill the faceless suicidal drones of Islam. His girl friend fights by him cooing at his bloodlust-`Lets get some killing done'-only disagreeing when he refuses to let her satisfy her own.

Miller's eye for a innovative panel lay out appears in flashes. But the overall design of the book is confused. Standard comic book pages seem to have been shoe horned into the 300 book format. The art has its moments though: there are some line portraits and figure drawings that recall David Stone Martin and some of the early Andy Warhol jazz LP covers.

Miller hates censorship but this stance seems to have extended over the years to include editing of any kind or even self evaluation of his drawings (apparently he believes, `There are no mistakes only instincts'). Which means there are several double page spreads some of which recall earlier Miller compositions others that are eligible? The pages are often painted with broad black brush marks that Miller must consider `expressionist' but just look like broad black brush marks. For some reason it is vital to the look of the book and the flow of the story that the cat burglar's shoes are bright red.

This is a long self indulgent work made worse by the bits that recall the best of Frank Miller's earlier works.

Damn! I paid for this when I could have bought Darwyn Cooke's `The Hunter'?

3.0 out of 5 starsHoly Terror - Frank Miller
By DeadSpiderEye on 8 Feb. 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
There are a lot of opinions about Holy Terror floating around, they generally fall under the: how dare he category of cometary, of course nearly all these come from sources that haven't examined the work. So what's it really like? Let's start by trying to describe my visceral reaction to what is an extremely visceral work. It's no exaggeration to say that it made me feel sick, truly sick, I didn't lose my breakfast or anything but it engendered a palpable nausea that lingered uncomfortably. That's a pretty astonishing achievement for any work I can say. Holly Terror is literally unlike any comic I've ever read and I wasn't prepared for it, superficially the notion of merging real world threats with the superhero genre has historical precedents, Captain America and Wonder Woman are examples that spring to mind. Holy Terror couldn't be more different from these predecessors, they were exercises in reassurance, cosy fantasies to send the kids to bed with dreams of the omnipotence granted through supernatural powers. There are no such assurances granted in Holy Terror. There's nothing super about The Fixer, the costumed protagonist, no invulnerability, no cute sidekicks to alleviate the drama, just The Cat Burglar both garbed in crumpled customs in a world bereft of figure hugging one piece suits, unfeasible stilettos and physiques enhanced beyond the abilities of any worldly pharmacist.

Miller's drawing style has always had more chiaroscuro than normal for the super hero genre of American comics. His work is sometimes reminiscent of the old Battle Picture Library in that way, although he's always demonstrated great spontaneity.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsHow the mighty have fallen...
By Tom Alaerts on 19 Oct. 2011
Format: Hardcover
I'm reading Frank Miller's comics since his The Dark Knight Returns period and often loved what he did. For example, his 300 was a perfect macho story about what it takes to be a hero. And now... this. Very superficially also a story about heroism, but in essence nasty, simplistic and even borderline racist in a few places. The art? Yes, some pages are great, in that Sin City way. However many drawings come over as overly hasty and can be difficult to decipher, as if he didn't care himself to do a good job.
All in all a major disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 starsBigoted, racist, juvenile, simplistic, incomprehensible, vacuous garbage.
By Imran Ali on 6 Nov. 2011
Format: Hardcover
I first read Dark Knight as a 15-year old teenager in 1989, falling in love with Miller's writing and later being consumed by Give Me Liberty, Year One and 300.

But this? This is garbage. Bigoted, racist, juvenile, simplistic, incomprehensible, vacuous garbage.

As a Miller fan, I'm disappointed and embarrassed. As a Muslim, offended no this piece of bigotry passes for art.

But as a lover of humanity's diverse cultures, I am proud to see Miller fans of all walks of life roundly condemning his latest work. Reviews are almost unanimously negative, indicating to me that we've come a long way from simplistic, cartoon propaganda and live in a word where even a celebrated and established artist's bigotry is called out by his fans.

Want a subtle, nuanced and cultured graphic novel on Muslims - find yourself a copy of Marjane Satrapi's sublime Persepolis or Craig Thompson's Habibi.
