Mind Loving Owl posted:So Marvel's first original contribution to Miracleman is coming out this month. Grant Morrison is doing a story so I'm cautiously optimistic. Also the other story is Allred and Milligan. That's kinda sorta huge.

So, now that the annual is out, I can totally see why Morrison's story ended up as a long lost script condemned to anecdote limbo forever. It's good, there's a hint of the playfulness he'd start to get known for, and as a spec script for an hypothetical book about the rise of Johnny Bates it totally did the job and made me want to see that. However, it absolutely doesn't fit with what T.O. Writer was doing. Which, hey, maybe it's not so bad, I dunno. One thing I'm sure of is that Quesada drew the poo poo out of it. God drat.

Not gonna lie, I thought the all-black bubbles were an effect, like, Bates is back and this time he's an unfathomable cosmic horror

The Goon posted:Does anyone else find it a bit odd that in an R-rated book filled with some of the most horrific and gruesome imagery ever drawn in a comic, of people having their skin hung up on clotheslines, women and children having their arms ripped off and eyes torn out, bodies impaled and dismembered in every way imaginable and even child nudity, the one thing they decide to censor is a racial epithet? No, because the violence it recalls is much worse than tons of fictional people dying in a fictional massacre? There isn't even a case to make for the use of it in context, it's just Alan Moore being clueless about racism, a cluelessness he would recall years later when putting the goddamn Golliwog in LXG.
