Dark Horse is proud to reveal art from Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander, the highly anticipated companion to Frank Miller’s award-winning series 300. Comics legend Frank Miller, creator of Sin City and 300, writes and draws this sprawling historical epic[/QUOTE]
I am hoping this is good. Can Miller recapture his past success?
I think we need to first ask is Miller even [I]interested[/I] in "recapturing his past success'?
He's obviously interested in continuing this project.
I’m hoping he can.
I liked DK III, but he had Azzarello to help him out with the writing.

And? I mean, artists move forward with their work. At least that's the intent. I just mean that maybe your idea of his "past success" doesn't line up with what Miller's after here, or what he'd consider a success.

I am not saying this new book should be like 300 part 2, with the same type art and writing.
I mean 300 was a very successful book artistically and in terms of readership. Can he repeat that, however he writes and draws this?
Hard to say.
Frank pissed a lot of people off running his mouth about politics.
Holy Terror was, (fairly) universally hated, despite some amazing artwork.
A lot of people bag on his current art pretty hard. (personally, I think the coloring of his art has been awful.)
300 became pretty divisive after his anti islam comments and Holy Terror.
So, a sequel of sorts to 300 might not be the best book to expect a 'comeback' from. But I think people will tune in and see what he's doing.
Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll be. If nothing else, I want to see Frank drawing a book again.
No a bad #1 issue,
