I hate Republicans so god damn much
the real question is how involved will gaiman be
Literally who
Marvel Shazam
So, did Marvel ever finish the original Moore/Gaiman Miracleman run? If so, how did it turn out?
Isn’t using Miracleman in an event technically Marvel’s second attempt at a Miracleman push, given they must have thought getting the Moore/Gaiman run back into print would generate some hype?
In the late 40s/early 50s, Fawcett decided to stop publishing the original Captain Marvel because the comic had ceased to be profitable.
A UK publisher of the Captain Marvel comics, L. Miller and Sons, wanted to continue publishing the comics, so they created their own knockoff of Captain Marvel named Marvelman.
In the 1980s, Alan Moore gave Marvelman his usual edgy treatment in a UK anthology called Warrior, only run into some kind of legal issue. This led to his being renamed “Miracleman.”
Neil Gaiman eventually took over the Miracleman comic, most notably contributing an issue where a woman giving birth is vividly depicted, evidently because Gaiman had recently witnessed his wife give birth and found it beautiful.
Miracleman fell out of print, lost in legal troubles until the 2010s, when Marvel shocked everyone who still knew or cared by declaring they had acquired the character. They reprinted the 1950s Marvelman material, as well as the 1980s run.
him and the female counterpart saved the world and became gods and then he tried to molest his young sidekick but the kid was freaked out and ran away and that was the end
>So, did Marvel ever finish the original Moore/Gaiman Miracleman run? If so, how did it turn out?
No
Apparently it's getting finished this year
>only run into some kind of legal issue. This led to his being renamed “Miracleman.”
when Marvelman was going to be published in the US Jim Shotter threatened the Editor of Warrior with a lawsuit or something so the name was changed.
>Neil Gaiman eventually took over the Miracleman comic, most notably contributing an issue where a woman giving birth is vividly depicted, evidently because Gaiman had recently witnessed his wife give birth and found it beautiful.
That was Moore
>he tried to molest his young sidekick but the kid was freaked out and ran away and that was the end
That was Gaiman
Excuse me for mixing up the birth thing, sorry!
I swear I wasn't 'aucktully'-ing you. I was just clarifying how Moore & Gaimen used the book to explore their personal weird sexual thoughts.
>Apparently it's getting finished this year
We've been hearing that for three decades.
I didn’t take it that way, I just feel bad when I try to explain something and it turns out to be wrong. I do think you raise a good point.
Why give a history if you don't know what you're talking about?
I was mistaken about who wrote the birth issue, what else did I get wrong?
>most notably
That's a pretty huge one. You also left out the publisher, Eclipse, where Moore completed his unfinished run and in which Gaiman took over.
The guy behind sadman moron
Just shred Richards and be done with it
he is going to be written by cates, so expect him to pull really stupid shit out of his ass.
>Miracleman

This is Marvel's Doomsday Clock
the marvel editors are surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Sue better get pregnant again and give birth on panel with full crotch view
>How strong is he?
He is without flaw.
Krillin solos no diff
Miracleman is Marvel's new Sentry. Probably going to shit on all the established characters and claim how intelligent and powerful he is compared to the rest of them.
I mean... Isn't that the point of the character at the end of Moore's run?
>established characters
Thing would cave his skull in.
I can't wait for them to reveal that Project Zarathustra was actually an subproject of the Weapons Plus Program (or something equally stupid).
Hmm. Reminds me of this tune.
Very. He's basically Shazam Captain Marvel but psychic instead of magic
>Joe Quesada is gone, DC has no more reason to be butthurt about the porn dick comment
>Gaiman back on Miracleman
Are... are we gonna get more Marvel/DC crossovers?
Can we get another pregnancy focused story arc?
I'm not even really sure what you do with Miracleman from a writing perspective. I could kind of see where they wanted to go with Doomsday Clock when Rebirth came out, but Miracleman didn't have nearly the same effect on the comics industry Watchmen did, which is what Johns was interrogating in that series.
