They're not bad; they're just drawn that way

New York Newsday gives a fair amount of ink to Sin City, talking to Frank Miller about the $40 million film -- "Nobody's ever come this close to being this faithful," he says -- highlighting some of the better comics-inspired movies, and even charting the history of comics, from The Yellow Kid to the manga boom, in three paragraphs.

The newspaper even offers its own "essential Frank Miller" list: Sin City (all seven volumes), Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil/Elektra: Love & War, Ronin, Hard Boiled and 300.
