Yesterday's Miracleman #14 Will Be Withdrawn And Reprinted? (UPDATE – NOPE)
It is one of the true classic scenes from Miracleman. Kid Miracleman, breaking out of the children's home, taking vengeance on the kids who bullied his human self.
It was swiped for an episode cliffhanger for Being Human.
"You were kind to me. Everyone in the house wanted me dead except you. It's a knotty one."
"You are right my quarrel is not with you."
He leaves. Then returns.
"But then people would say I was going soft."
He then stabs Nina in the gut.
And that scene appears remastered in today's Miracleman #14 from Marvel. But it seems some of the remastering has gone awry,
All of Kid Miracleman's white on black lettering has become black on black lettering. It is a serious printing error that, frankly ruins the scene. You can see the original lines in the pencilling in the back…
I understand a recall and reprint is underway.
UPDATE: Clearly I understood wrong… Marvel have instead issued the following to retailers.
