There's no question about that, no joy in the narrative (as others have pointed out) and no sign whatsoever of the irony that made his debut works popular. The writing is actually made worse by the artwork, which suffers both from Miller's own issues and his inexperience with Photoshop.
Are we looking at a trainwreck -- both in reference to DKSA and this one? Alas, we do, at least IMHO, and we both seem to agree on this point. Does Miller deserve frank (no pun intended), objective and pointed criticism, even more so in the light of his earlier achievements, and especially about the way he treats /depicts female characters? Certainly.
We are of a different mind on this specific issue, though. I respect your opinion but I still think we went too far (and while that's Miller's sorry state these days, I keep believing we can do better. With language and semantics as well).
