The Dark Age is next. Gaiman's early 90s plan was to have Miraclewoman kill Miracleman's wife, bring adult Johnny back to life, and get killed by him in turn. Then Miracleman and Johnny would have a big fight that essentially wipes out all life on the planet. The final issue would be MM and Johnny talking to each other on the ruined earth, the only two survivors on the planet. I wish i were making this up. Hope to God Gaiman comes up with a better ending now.
Miraclewoman going evil and her killing Mikes ex would have happened in a miraclewoman mini to be published during the huge gap between issues of the Silver Age arc. But while the story was written it was never published and the rights reverted to the writer (who wasn't Neil). Hence the delay in publishing Silver Age as Marvel had to track down the writer and buy the rights to the story, which while not going to be published, will still be referenced in the main book.
Source? Rumor around here was that he relapsed and that's why Crossover is also on a hold.

from a recent Perch video but honestly, it might be a joke on the perch's part, but it sounds believable enough
it's around the 7:15-8:00 point in the video

>Rumor around here was that he relapsed
he did, and he has just been spiraling while ruining relations with those around him. i don't know if the pissing thing is true, but he has shown up to a few gatherings with industry people while high and has just made a fool of himself. him relapsing wasn't that big an issue for others, people were willing to give him time to get it together. he's been burning a lot of bridges though in his drug fueled episodes.

Was that part of his plan to become the next Alan Moore?
And no, I don't know why Miraclewoman was going to do all this bs in the first place. Eclipse went bankrupt when Dean Mullaney ditched Cat Yronwode and disappeared with his girlfriend, and what profits Eclipse had left. Neil had quit working on MM well before this, as Eclipse wasnt paying him. Rights to their various properties were auctioned off, Todd McFarlane bought MM, Marvel bought it back to get Gaiman, and there we are.

As far as I know. Bleeding Cool had a piece about how the art disappeared, and neither Mike Deodato (the artist) or Fred Burke (the writer) knew what happened. Four pages never left Deodato, since Eclipse went under before he could send them off. But that's it as far as I know.
Didn't he knew that already? the main difference is that he got powers by some British experiment instead of by some kind of magic.
should have been called everyone wants to Dicky Dauntless
What's after the Silver Age?
This series is still... going?
Yes.

So that Miraclewoman mini is lost media?
Ending will lead to Miraleman waking up in the Ultimate universe.
Gonna be 616 proper, just to get killed off and get his powers and name transferred to a young non-binary POC called Miracleperson
That might have been the plan until Cates had a breakdown.
Cates was apparently fired for pissing on a Marvel executives carpet during a party

Did he talk about Silver Age? If he did, was anything changed?
But will they kiss

except Eclipse never had the MM right there were still owned by the original creator Mick Anglo
Miracleman Triumphant, was that it? I remembered it after posting. D'oh.

>Deodato on the art
Good that it's lost then
90s Deodato was great though he only really started to go bad in the early 2010s or so
