The Beat’s Weird Year in Review

I don't know if it's the egg nog or what, but for the second time this holiday season, longtime comics personality Heidi MacDonald has offered up really strange comics-related commentary on her popular site.

Last week it was an essay about a general lack of manga coverage in the midst of a blog that seems to cover news of actor Clive Owen and superhero movie posters more frequently than anything other than mainstream comic books.

This week it's a longish piece about 2004 that quotes a Frank Miller admonition against self-loathing but frames nearly every important thing to happen in comics this year -- one or two corners of it, anyway -- in terms of concepts like respectability and mainstream recognition.
