Miracleman #1
Neil Gaiman (w), Mark Buckingham (a)
Marvel Comics
Liz says: Picking up where Alan Moore left off, we finally arrive at Neil Gaiman’s first issue of Miracleman, which means it’s time to start getting excited. After a thirty-year wait, fans are one step closer to reaching the end of this long-unfinished series, with all-new issues that Gaiman and Buckingham are in the process of completing. For those unfamiliar with the title (it’s had several), Miracleman is a legendary and influential series that took comics to a radical, more mature place while drawing many of its core concepts straight from the Golden Age. The first of the Neil Gaiman issues (originally published in 1985 as Miracleman #17) is presented here as part of the Marvel Max line for mature readers, recolored and accompanied by bonus material. Get ready for the beginning of the end!
