Gaiman ran out of original ideas a long time ago.
What are you talking about?
Decent bait.
Already finished it
Now speaking of British comic writers doing really good expies, someone should let Moore finish Supreme. Or at least give it a better ending closer to his original vision.
Technically, there's another part of Miracleman coming after. The Dark Age or something.
Moore is done with comics, and even if he wasn't and hadn't burnt bridges, he doesn't like the idea of going back to something written in an earlier time.
Fair enough. Give it over to a different writer who can capture the spirit of the original.
No, it's over.
It's over until someone picks it up again.
Shit, Larsen picked it up already, did a horrible job. Fans picked it up and did a much better job. It really isn't that hard.
So I guess you don't know.
Gaiman never had the right to work on Marvelman/Miracleman. Nobody after the original run stopped actually had that right until the 2010s, but nobody knew that because the 'sale' of the original rights - which weren't the sellers' to sell - was never publicised and Mick Anglo, the owner of those rights, wasn't aware that they'd reverted to him or been sold on. Eventually, long after Moore and Gaiman etc had worked on them, they ended up with Todd McFarlane (of Spawn).
McFarlane didn't own them either, but he thought he did because he'd bought them from people who thought they owned the rights, which had been sold several times since the 1970s.
McFarlane was also in a rights dispute with Gaiman over the character of Angela, who McFarlane (once a champion of creator rights) claimed was work-for-hire and thus owned by Image/McFarlane in whole, to do with as he pleased. Gaiman disagreed (not because he wanted to use the character as such but because he objected to it being used without his permission). They got in a lawsuit and as part of researching the ownership of various Image properties, Gaiman/Gaiman's lawyer discovered that Miracleman had never been owned by anybody but Mick Anglo since L. Miller & Sons Ltd ceased publication in the 1960s - because that was the contract Miller & Sons and Anglo had signed, a copy of which had been appended - unread - to every sale since.
Gaiman negotiated a deal for Marvel Comics to buy those rights and compensate Anglo (by then very elderly) and his estate after his death (mainly his wife and kids). Not much, but a creator rights win that would have made young Todd McFarlane proud to be part of, and really nothing more than basic due diligence, which all the publishers since the sixties had failed to do.
It's not surprising tho that Gaiman and others would refuse to work on the character again, particularly now that Anglo isn't around to give his blessing.
>refuse
He didn’t refuse. He announced he was back on it at marvel like 5 years ago when they confirmed they had the rights back
thank you for explaining that
Heh heh heh. Dickie. Heheheheheheh!
He's so old now that he's turing into Spielberg

I was also getting Early Life sensations.
Wasn't the last Silver Age released a couple months ago?
It's still going. The 7th issue is coming out in September.
with still have gotten issue 6 yet it keeps getting delayed for what i'm assuming are art related reason since Buckingham needs time to draw this series and Fables over at DC
His run on it was shit anyways. Moore, as usual, had the perfect ending and left us pondering on rather it was all worth it. He just went in and said
>yeah it's a bad end and everyone morally sucks ass lmao
The British Invasion was a mistake that's ruined comics for over 40 years.
The Brits are the best thing to happen to superheroes.
Neil Gay Man. Hahaha. It sounds like nil which means zero, because he's a loser.
Kneel, Gay Man!
Last time i checked the Silver Age was being published and that's written by him.
