I read that last Martha Washington story under exceptional circumstances and fell for Lee as an X-head in the late eighties, that issue where Storm got blown up.<br /><br />There was never any doubt of the love, Mike.

My distaste for All Star Batman actually had more to do with Jim Lee, who, while a talented draftsman, is a crap visual storyteller. <br /><br />However, that being said, there is no excuse for the post-9-11 diatribe/infomercial-for-the-collected-edition that was "Martha Washington Dies." That is The Spirit movie level badness right there.<br /><br />I suspect some of the off the rails nature of his more recent stuff is the lack of an editor willing to tell Frank Miller when he's veered off into the territory of suck.Damian Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224140865828728949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-27560206754562689732010-02-06T08:15:49.027+13:002010-02-06T08:15:49.027+13:00People who don't like the Tank are, basically,...People who don't like the Tank are, basically, assholes, not to be trusted.
