      3. There are many reasons, having to do with Miller's bludgeoning approach to storytelling. But one point is more subtle.

      4. Miller has a history of trying to link Nazism with groups that were actually persecuted by Nazis.

      5. In one of the Martha Washington books Miller did, we had a bevy of gay Nazis.

      6. Now, there were a few gay Nazis like Ernst Rahm, but they were killed off early by Hitler, and Nazis in general persecuted gays.

      7. In the Spirit movie, evil Nazi character is played by a black man, Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus

      8. In the current project Miller seems to want to allegorize Nazis with his obsession with jihadi "sleeper cells"

      9. There are many problems with Nazi/jihadi sleeper cells analogy but one is worth emphasizing: sleeper cell model doesn't describe reality

      10. "Sleeper cells" is a kind of crude spy thriller model: evil genius in lair, deep cover agents. Relic of 20th century ideological wars

      11. The actual model groups like ISIS using very different: online incitement aimed at radicalizing marginal elements & destroying grey zone

      12. A graphic novel dealing with radicalization story like in San Bernardino would be interesting but Miller is not the cartoonist to do it

      13. To do good art dealing with actual radical evil you have to have a sense of tact, which is not one of Miller's gifts.

          @HeerJeet I found the problem - you made the mistake of thinking Frank "Gotta Get Paid" Miller is trying to make good art

          @ProfesorTortuga Frank Miller is a big enough figure in pop culture to try and suss out why he went wrong.

          @HeerJeet I think Alan Moore does "good art dealing with actual radical evil" very well, and he's not known for tact.
