> While speaking to NPR about his personal reaction to the September 11th attacks a few months later, Miller would say: "For the first time in my life I know how it feels to face an existential menace." I think that I've never heard something so white, straight, male and sheltered. He will eventually repackage the idea as simply Holy Terror, after jettisoning any reference to the superhero. I think most people felt that way after seeing the attacks. I am weary of any writer who makes it a "white, straight, male and sheltered" thing to be worried about one of the worst terror attacks on our soil. It's a human thing, and for Americans who had never served in combat, it would be the first time they ever felt a threat that real; "existential menace" means, implying the existence of a threat. Innocent lives were lost, a lot of lives, and it shook a nation. I only bring it up because of how unnecessary that seemingly flippant remark was to me. Whether or not Miller was a good guy or not doesn't mean the deaths of thousands is a proof of his race, sex, etc.; it comes off as hateful which is a real shame, I am more likely to question the author's intent. Personally i don't disagree with most of the article, I would have liked a more thorough review of what the writer is talking about when she mentions different troubling things about the comics, as i would have to read it myself to see what they are even talking about. (EDIT: i re-read the last few points and i retract that i agree with most; i think i disagree with most of her points. Sometimes i give benefit of the doubt, only to look again and realize the take is mostly vapid)
