That script was embarrassing. I can't believe a grown man wrote that.

Haha, lord that script part was hilarious, the mind of Frank Miller folks. Sad how he pretty much degenerated into an over-the-top parody of himself. He was a pretty good writer back in the 70s and 80s. (His run on Daredevil springs to mind, as does The Dark Knight Returns.)

I took out Volume One from my library just to see how it was like...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was much, much worse. Really looking forward to watching this after reading the written review a couple of months back.
The art is damn georgeous, though.

This is one of those rare comics that have damn good art, but s---y as hell art.

I, Triple Kelly, Age Twenty-Six, gotta bump this one because I, Triple Kelly, Age Twenty-Six just watched the review.
Seriously, what the HOLY HELL has happened to Frank Miller?
Has a once lauded visionary truly gone cuckoo or has he simply hid his cuckooness from the world and is only now being discovered for what he really is?
Boy does that comic suck.
Boy does that comic suck.
And when did Vicki Vale become a size queen? Geez, Frank.

And Going by Daredevil and all his 80's work I'd have to believe he was a good writer. I don't like Dark Knight Returns, but Born Again is one of the best superhero stories ever. I assume it is just different strokes. As for ASB&R, I didn't like it, but it really works as a parody of the character.

I'm already not a big Frank Miller fan (I've read TDKR and Year One, which were okay, but not my cup of tea). His oh-so-gritty, pulpy, pseudo-noir cynical approach wears thin quickly to me, and seeing as how it's practically the only style he does, my tolerance depletes particularly fast. But All-Star is just mind-boggling. I have no idea how that thing reached print with such a self-parodying script. Miller really has gone insane over the years.

arguably Dan Didio is even more insane for agreeing to publish this mess.

What's even worse then how badly this comic sucked, was how insanely excited I was for it. It has to be on of the biggest disappointments ever.

It's goofy, but I'm not gonna rag on Miller for the script. Mostly cause the whole ass thing, BESIDES BEING AWESOME, made me think of this.
