Holy Terror

Holy Terror is the new book by Frank Miller. It will not leave anyone reading it indifferent. As Miller states, it is propaganda and propaganda alone. This makes the story flimsy at best. In fact, it is often non-existent, when you follow through the book. However, overall, I thought this was a worthy buy. Miller continues to evolve as an artist and his graphical storytelling abilities are still at the top of the profession. He can show more with a few ink stains than many artist with laboriously rendered drawings. He seems to be evolving away from the regulars blocks of shadow and light that were typical from his previous works in Sin City and 300 into more organic and psychedelic uses of ink blots. However, in comparison with another artist that also uses similar approaches, Bill Sienkiewicz, Miller's ink blots are much more intelligible and easy to interpret. Nevertheless, at times you see Miller's laziness sprouting here and there, even in the art.
All in all, I like the art book and decided do completely ignore the story.
