Huh, never thought I'd see the day where we have two threads for Miracleman.

In some ways absolutely, but in other ways it is a more idealistic story. It's weird. Scary as Hell all the way.

I think when considering pace in Miracleman early on it's important to remember that when it was originally serialised in Warrior it was in smaller bits.

I loved Mike Moran's little deduction of Johnny's true nature.

First appearance of Big Ben, The Man With No Time For Crime!, Miracleman has discovered his origins in the bunker.

Didn't Big Ben have his own story in Warrior for a while?

I think Warrior tried to go for the whole shared world thing. I think that's why V For Vendetta is said to be a world where Mike never remembered his trigger phrase.

It is so great seeing a non-spoiled reader's opinion on Miracleman as it re-unfolds.. Even if I don't agree.

I do have to wonder, in the V For Vendetta world, is Johnny Bates still alive somewhere out there?:tinfoil:

Wait, what? :stare: Gargunza's being metaphorical, right? (Don't answer this)

Gargunza does so many awful psychologically weird stuff that you could be talking about anything.

Oh that's what we're talking about! I like to think Gargunza is so screwed up that he traumatizes his nazi friends everytime he makes coffee in the morning.

I just want to know what fetish the original colourists had for the colour pink? Was there a huge huge surplus of pink inks at Eclipse?

I for one am glad that there's a comic that has the guts to show how ugly newborn babies are.

And they so could have gone with the "Well she's a super baby" excuse to make her look like a three month old.

So Marvel's first original contribution to Miracleman is coming out this month. Grant Morrison is doing a story so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Personally I just assume most people who've produced art I enjoy are far worse than I imagine. Though it is weird reading or hearing Alan Moore speak, dude usually sounds legible and normal, silly as it may be I always imagined him speaking in riddles that mostly turn out to be about fish people rape.

So does Miracleman have the power to see Simpsons reruns decades early?

Kid Miracleman's life story post Dragon Slayer always confused me a little, did he have any clue regarding the deception or not? Because if he continued to think Gargunza was responsible for the bomb, why didn't he track him down? Did KM not notice the sudden absence of all his old enemies and the alien civilisations he once freely interacted with?

Also why the gently caress did they fight him one at a time? Are super people and Warpsmiths beyond dog piling?

Here's a thought, does Miracleman avoid Norse mythology enthusiasts like the plague considering his weakness? Also as for the super baby thing, what annoyed me was the fact that like so many super intelligent children in fiction, Winter just comes off as annoying.

Miraclewoman's point wasn't about their free will, which is immaterial, it was about not terrifying and bullying these people that are so beneath them. You tell a child what to do, but you don't make him feel lovely about it. They're supposed to be better than petty political grudges, as justified as they might be (Thatcher was a monster).

I like to think Mike voted labor and that kind of bled through to Miracleman. I also was giggling about the psychonaut thing, I refuse to believe when omnipotent super being is a viable career that any kid would want to grow up to be a meth head.
