the only way this will be any good is if azarello just writes the entire thing himself and slaps miller's name on it to appease him.

Miller's been looking like he's on the verge of dying for a while now, so it was only matter of time before he got to work on this.

At least he isn't teaming-up with Snyder for it, as originally thought. The grimdark would have been unbearable.

it's not the grimdark that's bad about miller, it's the fact that after 9/11 the guy completely snapped and turned into a racist, mysoginistic, pseudo-fascist lunatic who was more preoccupied with propping up his political beliefs than telling a good story. plus his dialogue is mind-numbingly horrendous.

...he's actually calling it "The Master Race."

Why am I worried that the "master race" philosophy will be presented positively?

if this were a good comic it would deal with neo-nazis and present issues of racism, discrimination, and human cruelty in a sophisticated manner while ultimately coming to the conclusion that in the end we are all human and feel pain equally. or something like that.

...but it's frank miller so i highly doubt that will be the case.

This is going to be great. Can't wait to see the master bat race attempt to takeover and expel the inferior Superman from America, sending bat buzz bombs at the fortress of solitude and demolishing the Daily Planet in a bat blitzkrieg.

That's why he wants you to have the money. Not so you can buy 14 Cadillacs but so you can help build up the wastes

Did Miller threaten Didio in his dreams or something.

[up][up] No, the villains will all be Arabs who communicate by making monkey noises, and Batman will kill them all in the name of white America.

Only mostly joking.

Personally, I can't wait to see Crazy Steve, Bonkers Betty, and Dick Grayson Age 12 team up to take on those two Hitler clones who seem to think we don't know anything about science. Better yet, we can throw in Bearded Idiot as a bonus. At the least, it would be far more entertaining than whatever Franky's gonna' cook up.

Why is he still writing again? Because he can?

The Master Race is most likely a reference to how creepily fascistic the superheroes were becoming towards the end of DKSA, particularly with Superman's ready-to-murder-at-the-drop-of-a-hat daughter and Superman himself wondering "What are we going to do with our world?"

Because really, by the end of that thing the world had only traded a superpowered government of Might Makes Right self-entitled jerkasses for another.

If Miller and Azzarello realize this (and I have vague hopes Azzarello might) and point it out accordingly, there might be some hope for this yet, but Miller left to his own devices would just play it straight as if 'the Master Race' is actually entitled to acting the way they do because 'humans are jealous pygmies' or some such crap.

Yeah, didn't the Superman/Wonder Woman sex cause, like, tsunamis and shit? I think they killed a bunch of people with their supersex.

Right. I know Miller isn't exactly the most popular guy right now, but after looking at that picture of him, I can not, and will not make fun of him.

The guy looks like he's got one foot in the grave already. I won't kick a man while he's down.

Will this be good? With a name like Master Race, all signs point to no, and it's a damn shame, since it will likely be his last story too.

But maybe there will still be some moments we can look back and and say that was kinda cool, but it could have used less whores....

And once again, I'm a Hypocrite.sad

to be fair, "master race" probably doesn't mean what most people imagine it does. it's probably some sort of ham-fisted bullshit that frank likes to put in his work nowadays. it's just an unfortunate title given what his previous work has offered us.

Seriously, though...what happened to him? People usually don't waste away like that without a reason.

No one seems to know, though most assume it's cancer, or something else.

Lately, he's needed a wheelchair just to get around.
