The Life And Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century. This book was recommended to me by a friend who is a Frank Miller fan. I have to say, this is quite the book. It has a great blend of action and absurd comedy dealing with a corrupt incorporated America and how Martha Washington deals with life here over the course of her's. The style of the book changes significantly from the first story to the last, seeing that the book was a compilation of stories written over the course of 20 years totaling over 500 pages. It is cool seeing how Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons styles progress over the years along with the character. The First section of the story i enjoyed somewhat more than the later stories, just because it showed a ridiculous satire of the United States (think a way less serious Watchmen) while she was fighting this dude that tried to kill her, while the later stuff was more Scifi-ee with her fighting a computer program that tried to kill her. I love seeing a character's development from beginning to end and this character literally gives me that, like you see her born and you see her death. Overall this is a really cool story about a girls journey from little project child with no prospects to someone who is a leader and has saved the world on more than one occasion.
