And really, you couldn't be using a better book--though, admittedly, I'm a bit bias. Miller's brilliant take on Batman is the reason I study comics today. I first read it in 8th grade, and while it didn't spurn me to immediately start reading comics, it's the reason why I took a Graphic Novel elective class as an undergrad--and that did spurn me :-) But your notion to compare it to King Lear is brilliant!

Keep up the good work! I like the new format of your blog, and the way you feature your alternatives to the five paragraph essay right up front. Keep up the good work!
