It won every award going, but infighting and lawsuits from Marvel Comics doomed it. That run was reprinted and continued by Eclipse Comics as Miracleman, a company that eventually closed over bankruptcy and lawsuits. The company was bought by Todd McFarlane who began to use the Miracleman character in his comics, until a series of lawsuits between[...]

Last week, Bleeding Cool ran the story that the solicited issues of Miracleman: The Silver Age, reprinting and then finishing the second arc from Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham on the Miracleman series, first begun in the late eighties, has been pulled from the schedules. Issues 1,2 and 3 had been solicited for 2016 but the[...]

I noted that the Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham remastered reprints and new chapters of their Miracleman run from Marvel Comics were missing from recent Marvel Previews But I put that down to the usual delays that have accompanied this series over the last thirty-five years. I didn't know the half of it. Marvel Comics have told retailers that[...]

At the Diamond Retailer Day at MCM London Expo this weekend, Marvel's Senior VP David Gabriel announced that April would see the the first ever printing of the long lost unpublished Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham Miracleman #25 comic, twenty years after it was completed. Then, as expected, Gaiman and Buckingham will finish of the Silver Age story with[...]

My first New York Comic Con saw them revealing that they finally had the rights sorted to re-publish Miracleman, which almost made me fall out of my seat I thought that one would be tied up in legal quagmire forever. But I think I found it all the more surprising given the teaser laden postcards sent[...]

Hey GLAAD, I am curious as to when the word ‪#‎faggot‬ will get the same outrage as ‪#‎tranny‬? #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Coincidentally, on the same day, Marvel Comics censored that same word from the early nineties comic by[...]

Still, looks like it's another reason for the book to be called Captain America: White than something juxtaposed against the current monthly title. Maybe he should have gone to the school in this week's reprint of Miracleman? Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London With a Satanic Mojo signing this Saturday… It was a different time, 1939[...]

I re-read the six issues again last night, surprising myself at what I missed, and gained an even greater respect for the series. And now, just as Marvel are set to reprint the Gaiman/Buckingham Miracleman issues that followed the Moore/Leach/Davis/Austen/Veitch/Totleben story, so Si Spurrier and Fernando Heinz are set to follow a similar path[...]

Marvel are pushing the relaunch of Miracleman, the Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham run, ahead of the Final Order Cut-off date.  And they have released the following pages of Miracleman By Gaiman & Buckingham #1 So I thought I'd compare them to the printed version of Miracleman #17 when it was published by Eclipse. Let's take a[...]

The Frank Cho variant cover for Miracleman #18, by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham and out in September. I suppose once you are a living god, you can sit on the subway how you goddamn please.   The Frank Cho variant cover for Miracleman #18, by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham and out in September. I suppose once[...]

Right now, on eBay, you can find a number of Miracleman variant covers from the Marvel run going from $8 to $80. That won't be the case for much longer. Because Marvel are liquidating a bunch of Miracleman stock to retailers, with issues  to 10, in all variant cover varieties, whether 1:10, 1:25 or 1:50 covers, going[...]

Another of their "colour" volumes that would include Daredevil Yellow, Spider-Man Blue and Hulk Grey, there were sadly no subsequent issues of the expected six-issue series.

Anyone who knows me, who has every talked to me about Marvelman or Miracleman will know that once two pages of original art by Alan Davis were stolen from me on a tube train, half an hour after buying them from Comics Showcase I guy grabbed my portfolio and ran off as the doors closed[...]

From the inside page of today's Miracleman #16, published by Marvel Comics and reprinting and remastering the original issue by Alan Moore and John Totleben, concluding Moore's run on the character he so effectively revived Rereading it, it is as majestic as I remembered, and with a final moment that effectively (and intentionally) undermines everything[...]

It is Black History Month. Marvel are currently republishing Miracleman, an eighties series definitely of its time But history is being rewritten With the infamously violent Miracleman #15, out today. And it still seems odd that Marvel can publish a Mature Readers comic book featuring extreme images of violence, labelled 'Mature' and sold in a bag and[...]

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[...]

While over in the Justice League Bruce Wayne is sitting down with Lex Luthor with the same aim. Though Lex may have been touched by the innocence of a child as well…   He even seems to be coming round to another secret identity member of the Justice League in Action Comics, even if he doesn't know this[...]

Wicks, Mike Deodato and Sara Pichelli. The Miracleman Annual #1 is being retitled All-New Miracleman Annual #1, to reflect that this is not a reprint issue Even though the Grant Morrison story was written in the eighties Might that be the name of an ongoing series written by Brian Bendis in 2015? Pure speculation of course… but[...]

The other is the Miracleman Annual Which will feature that story from thirty years ago by Grant Morrison, drawn by Marvel EIC Joe Quesada, and more stories besides. Vulture reports on how that came about, with Quesada telling them, "Grant said something like, 'I'm sure I have the script somewhere, maybe I'll dig it up and just post[...]

hence this scene in The Legendary Star-Lord… A fondly remembered scene from Miracleman So much going on, so much being said, everything there for the reader to see if they wish to. When African and South American gods of a similar appearance decide to work =out which is best, in true Harry Hill style in God Is[...]

UPDATE: As Stewart Lee says, "you can prove anything with facts". Rick Veitch gets in touch regarding the piece below, saying "Please update your post about Marvel ignoring my 1987 coloring instructions to reflect that I had complete approval of Marvel's new coloring. And that I think the new version looks fantastic too." Which makes all of the[...]
