And then you meet Kid Miracleman, Miracelman's former sidekick in all corny ways of what a sidekick can be, and any ideas about friendly metaphors and dispassionately literate ideas go out the window because the most purely evil supervillain ever has upended any notion of this being some cutesy version of a prequel to the idea of deconstructing superheroes.



Oh my god I'm glad I'm rereading Miracleman.

The Ring of the Nibelung by P. Craig Russell is the best epic/fantasy comic ever made. The story of the famous opera on the hands of one of the best illustrators. A must for fans of the genre.

Yes. Yes to this. I often find myself wary of collecting reprinted versions of old school comics for exactly the reasons in this video. They might not even look the worst, and the bright colors can be neat, but it just never looks right. I sense a dark future ahead for me where I spend ungodly amounts of money on original issues of old school comics.

I need to get some of those Teen Titan collections that were reprinted on more old school paper and look like they're probably supposed to look. I think the Alan Moore Swamp Thing reprints might be the same.

@DWV: and check 15:45 of the potential problems with color on comic art.

Is this not working for you? That site in general is the best resource for reading comics online that I know of.

https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Miracleman-1985

I do have some of the physical issues but they're modern reprints and per the above post they're not really visually the way to see the series and I'm not actually willing to lend them out anyway. Any physical version of Miracleman is staying with me. It's too obscure and out of print a series for me to take any chances even with bland looking reprints.

Copped original issues of the four issue West Coast Avengers mini-series that got extended into a long running comic. $12 including shipping. I love eBay and am hype for B/C-list superhero nonsense.

Holy **** I just realized that might be Graviton on the covers of the last two issues. What a schmuck. Now hype for C-list villain nonsense as well. Please be Graviton.

Yeah I'm gonna have to start collecting old comics from before the modern age of high quality paper and printing techniques. My next two projects will be Miracleman and Punisher 2099. Seriously I have to have the physical copies of this, the best comic ever:
