This is what happens when a publisher hires Bob Schreck. You get Frank Miller.

When Bob was hired to head up Legendary Comics, the publishing subsidiary of Legendary Pictures, it was only a matter of time.

Originally Holy Terror was to be Batman: Holy Terror by Frank Miller. But when DC fired Bob Schreck over the Batman pottymouth episode, that was not to be.

The main character was rejigged, renamed The Fixer, and now this revenge fantasy, thematically one man taking down those responsible for the 9/11 attacks, but no doubt having wider reference and meaning, will be published ten years to the month after that tragedy, by Legendary Comics. Frank Miller’s Holy Terror, in September, in hardcover for $29.99.

If it can be even half as good as DK2...

I'm sorry, I can't go on, the thought is simply too depressing.

It has missed its moment.

I have rather enjoyed some of Miller's recent descents into insanity. DK2 was a lot of fun, even if the art was wonky. ASB&R sucked, but in a funny way. This could be brilliant, or it could be The Spirit. It's about 50/50 either way.

I just clicked the link and saw the promo art, and that was enough to change my mind on this. This will suck. I'll get it out of the library and read the whole thing, but nothing good can come of this.

This is like Duke Nukem finally coming out. No one is going to care.

DC should have cancelled their entire line and rebooted with nothing but Frank Miller one-shots.

He would bring quite the diversity to the DC line:

Wonder Woman: man-hating lesbian hooker
Supergirl: man-hating lesbian hooker
Batgirl: man-hating lesbian hooker
Oracle: man-hating lesbian hooker
Catwoman: man-hating lesbian hooker
Black Canary: man-hating slut
Superman: alien impotent douchebag
Green Lantern: ring-wielding impotent douchebag
Flash: speedy impotent douchebag
Aquaman: underwater impotent douchebag

The list goes on and on.

I don't see a pattern emerging yet. Please post further examples.

This is a blatant Pigman rip-off.

The promo art looks like what Frank Miller has turned into, unfortunately that doesn't mean it's a good thing...

The flying teeth is a particularly nice touch.

At first I thought that was The Flash punching the bad guy.

Is the "Legendary" imprint a continuation of the Legend brand that Miller and his friends used at Dark Horse in the '90s?
