Elektra Dead

Comicdom has a new interview with Frank Miller that gives insights into his influences, politics, future work, and creative process.

Here's are some of Miller's thoughts on continuity:

Do you feel that readers have a right to pick and choose which parts of a title's continuity they prefer?

FRANK MILLER: Yes. When a character's been published monthly for forty or seventy years, a reader has to pick and choose between the good work and the bad. And if a talent has either made up a character or left his indelible stamp on it, a reader is under no obligation to blindly follow whatever nonsense the publisher pumps out. Surely no reasonable JAMES BOND follower would demand that fans of Sean Connery's Bond should be required to stick with every actor that succeeded him. As audience, we are the judges of what we consider meritorious. Did I mention that Elektra is dead?
