Glad to see that Mini-Julius isn't interfering with important things such as buying comics

Back in the days I would read each issue of The Darkness.
Unfortunately my copies are now gone and the Compendium costs a fortune.
I really wish Top Cow would do a re-print...
I don't think its pointless. Its been alleged that he gets royalties from sales of the books he worked on and the reprints. Not sure what you mean by statute of limitations- do you mean in regards to domestic abuse? If that was the case it would mean he wasn't punished at all, so then I don't see why that would be a reason to move on.
Also, is the phrase 'beating a dead horse' really appropriate here? I don't see why its inappropriate dig up dirt on those whose work would be seen in a different light.
Case in point- Frank Miller's Daredevil. What originally seemed an innovative brave, dark and gritty fresh approach to comics now seems much more like the work of a one-trick pony whose work reflects their right-wing agenda.
And our choices in art, music, literature often stand as a reflection and statement of ourselves. As a teenage I loved the Smiths. The music was a statement of introspection and disenfranchised youth. Morrisey's recent views are so much the opposite and just plain offensive that I cannot listen to them anywhere. I do care about the background of those involved in the work, especially when said person is going to get royalties from the books they worked on.
Nobody brings up Miller's agenda when people ask about his Daredevil. That's my point.
Also, since you decided it was necessary to point out, let me apologize to any and all victims of domestic violence, or anyone else who may be reading this thread in a comic book collected edtions forum, for my poor choice or words earlier
Haha. Good lord no. It’s considered a masterpiece, arguably the greatest ST run ever and Moore’s hit-the-ground-running-bat-out-of-hell introduction into American Comics. This is a groundbreaking series that revolutionized ST and introduced Constantine, among other things. If you’re looking for niche works, I guess you could maybe place his Avatar stuff in that category but even then I’m not sure.
Thanks for the reply, sorry if my original post was a bit blunt (sometimes when you re-read things you realise there is a tone that you had not originally intended).
At least for myself, Miller's agenda is the main the reason I haven't purchased either of his Omnibuses. I think it should be talked about more (you are right to make the observation though, this piece in the Guardian mentions everything BUT Daredevil; https://www.theguardian.com/books/bo...visible-comics). The same with Mike Baron; I found the concept of Nexus interesting, and when I was younger I read his Punisher, but reading about him a bit more and his own admission that the concept reflects his politics has just put me off. I maybe let my own views govern my reading too much, but I am at a stage in my life where I want to read imaginative, hopeful, and inspiring comics.
