any extremist is a whack job, be they Muslim, Christian or Tellytubby

I would love to read a comic about a devout extremist Tellytubby, however I have no desire to read Frank Miller's work again  (ever since I threw his sequel to Dark Knight across the room in disgust - I thought it was shite)
The Jikan Chronicles Book Two - 90 pages of time travelling, demon hunting samurai action - out now from http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/PARAGONcomic

Holy Terror is not such an argument. It's an incoherent rant disguised as a comic book. Bt it's also not quite as hateful as people are making out. It's about a crazy person, fighting other crazy people. Ideology motivates both of them, but because our "hero" isn't to be taken seriously, his opinions regarding his opponents aren't either.

Hmm. I have to admit, that is an interesting perspective, Evil Pants.

Miller had a period of about 4 years or so where his work was awesome (DD/Batman).  His art became something glorious with Sin City. However, I'd argue after that brief stint at Marvel/DC, the storytelling of Sin City/That Yellow Bastard/Return to Dark Knight was pretty average.  Poor on some occasions. Probably more responsible for the comic industry 1980s move into grim'n'gritty than Alan Moore but his best stuff was 20 years ago. Little worth reading since in a storytelling sense.

About 62 million people in the UK aren't buying it, What does that tell you about it? eh? eh?

That could go for every comic on sale here. Statistics can be used for any argument  ;)

Thanks for explaining that to the hard of thinking ...
I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.
