This week we have Bryan Stratton from the Marvel by the Month podcast on the Dogg Zzone 9000. MbtM is a whimsically exhaustive podcast chronicling every month in Marvel Comics history starting from the beginning. If you need a few keywords to help you search for it, try āfun, informative, inclusive, good comic books.ā If you use none of those keywords, youāll find Frank Millerās Holy Terror. Thatās what weāre talking about on the Dogg Zzone today.
Frank Miller was always on the verge of losing his mind, and then terrorists flew a plane into it. 9/11 broke Frank Millerās everything, and much like all of America in 2001, he dialed up revenge so far it went into racism.

Thatās why he wrote Holy Terror, which is if Batman fully penetrated Catwoman and ā donāt say āno thanksā yet, you havenāt let him finish – AND he also hates Islam. Youāre welcome, America.
