Holy Terror, Batman! may be dead, but Holy Terror isn’t

Earlier this week I linked to a report from last weekend’s MoCCA Festival where Frank Miller said he was no longer working on the long-awaited Batman vs. terrorism graphic novel, Holy Terror, Batman!

But that doesn’t mean the project is quite dead — only different. David Brothers points out a recent post by Miller at the Complete Frank Miller Website Forum, where he says the project has undergone a bit of a change — there’s no Batman in it:

I’m still doing HOLY TERROR!–it’s just not a Batman story anymore. The content got too extreme, and a brand new superhero popped into my head. I’m 94 double-page spreads into it, with more to go. It’s going to be big and loud, I promise.

Neal Adams has fallen so in love with ODYSSEY that he’s scripting it himself. The artwork is STUNNING.

I’ve just turned in XERXES#1 and am going strong.

I’m keeping busy, folks! Having a great time!

Xerxes is the follow-up to 300 that was announced late last year.
