WONDERCON: FRANK MILLER

Appearing at his own panel on Sunday at WonderCon in San Francisco, Frank Miller said he's inked 120 pages of some 200 pages for an original graphic novel called Holy Terror, Batman!

Miller called the book "a propaganda piece" in which "Batman kicks al-Qaeda's ass."

"Superman punched out Hitler, and so did Captain America," Miller said. "It seemed kind of silly for Batman to chase around the Riddler, when you have al-Qaeda out there."

Miller said the book is "very pulpy" and "quite emotional" and features "some of my best art ever."

For more from the panel, including Miller's comments on the Sin City sequel and 300 movie, CLICK HERE.

WONDERCON: DC CRISIS COUNSELING PANEL

Some of comics' current competitive spirit was on display Sunday during DC Comics' Crisis Counseling panel at WonderCon on Sunday.

An audience member told the panelists that he has friends who are Marvel readers and wondered if DC is trying to make its books more like Marvel's.

The question was met with a resounding "no."

"I've worked with DC Comics for more than 20 years and the worst mistakes have been we try to be like other companies we're not, like Image or Marvel," Mark Waid said. "You innovate, not imitate."

"I'm not sure Marvel knows what Marvel is any more," Grant Morrison said.

"I want to be the underdog," Geoff Johns said. "And I want to kick their ass this year."
