"finally read it. really moody, and dark themes. not how i like spidey, but it's a very good story overall. also, kraven's pretty gay in this. he gets naked a lot, once even in front of spidey. kind of weird.

why can't i give something zero stars? frank miller has batman calling robin a 'retard' one minute, and then has him having sex with black canary WITH THEIR FUCKING COSTUMES ON the next! sex in superhero comics is stupid and silly to begin with, but when batman says 'it's better with the masks on' or whatver? ummm. yeah,why is frank miller still allowed to make comics (and movies)? it's like a piece of shit took a big dump and then that big dump had diarehia and the diarehia shit out a script and had jim lee draw it....less

autobiographical. about growing up, femal, in iran during war and revolution...
i liked that even though it's one long story (her life from 1980-93), it's divided into little 'chapters'. each one focuses on a certian event or thing, but always moves her story forward. nice touch. leared a lot of stuff about iran and their culture too. marji's real smart and it shows--- she remembers a lotta shit about growing up, plus she speaks three languages. haven't seen the movie, but i want to check it out. ...less
