Any thoughts on this author?
He is the man who reinvented Batman for a new generation with The Dark Knight Returns and Year One and i applaud him for that.
He also did excellent with Daredevil, 300, Hard Boiled and Sin city.
I also dig his Ralph Steadman-esque drawings.

Frank Miller is brilliant. I've enjoyed just about everything he's been involved in. Also Alan Moore, the man just opens your mind if you pay attention. Kentaro Miura, his work on Berserk is just genius.

If we're talking 80s Miller, he was a genius
If we're talking 2000s Miller, he's a fruitcake

To be fair... Miller was always a bit overrated, even at his best. His best stood out more because at the time it was beyond most of what everyone else was doing, but when left to his own devices, he's a mess. Dark Knight Strikes Again was so bad, it hurts the original Dark Knight Returns, so best to pretend it never happened. And as for All-Star Batman and Robin, for once Jim Lee's eternally late artwork was a gift, as they had to mercy-kill that book once Lee couldn't finish it. Art aside, it was awful.
Also, Robocop 2. I heard Miller did a comic series just a few years back based on his original script for Robocop 2, but I didn't read it. I heard it was still really bad, despite being his "actual vision". To think, he's been blaming Hollywood all these years for how that movie turned out, and come to find out it just wasn't a very good idea to begin with.

Couldn't have said it any better.
