The Fixer vs. Al Qaeda

Frank MillerFrank Miller is finishing his next graphic novel, Holy Terror.  The story follows a new character The Fixer as he takes on Al Qaeda.  The story was originally conceived in the wake of 9-11 and was to star Batman.  Miller decided he’d taken Batman as far as he could and instead decided a new character should take the lead.

The Fixer is a special ops adventurer who takes off after Al Qaeda after an attack on his city, the fictional Empire City, which resembles New York.

The story is almost complete and Miller will then seek a publisher.
