Outside of this, however, most of the noise has been your typical, mindless, internet garbage. Second, if he had lived to see it, Will Eisner probably would have felt the same way about Miller’s Spirit movie that Miller feels about this latest use of Elektra. I will give a couple of them credit, though, for two pretty good burns.įirst, as one commenter noted, if Lee/Wood and Finger/Kane had been this proprietary way back when, Miller would have never had a career. The reaction of fandom to all this, however, was a bit surprising, as they generally ripped Miller to shreds. Miller’s reaction was not a surprise to me. When queried on whether or not he’d seen the show, his simple response was: “no.” Regarding the appearance of Elektra in the show’s second season: “they can call it whatever you want, but it will not be the real Elektra.” He later added, in regard to the classic character: “Yes, I’m her father.” ![]() ![]() ![]() During a comics show/convention down in Brazil, superstar creator Frank Miller was asked about the new Daredevil series on Netflix.

But soon Becca and Tasha’s investigation into the world of white, middle-class teen insecurities, betrayals, manipulations, sex, and drug use becomes darkly fascinating on its own. This initially detracts from the suspense as readers will quickly decide Jenny and Hayley are guilty. Transcripts of the girls’ text messages even reveal-to readers-that Jenny and Hayley are far from real friends to Tasha. That a near-death experience might cause Tasha to re-examine her friendships seems plausible, especially considering the suspicious behaviors of the other two Barbies, Jenny and Hayley.
