I haven't read Miracleman, but that's because the only person I know who would loan me their copies foolishly left those copies over in England. But how can it NOT be great?! It's Alan Moore. All bow down before the genius of Alan Moore.

I'll make a note to put it on the elist for you.

It's Alan Moore. All bow down before the genius of Alan Moore.

See, normally, I'd agree with you, but then I read Judgment Day and was left scratching my head at the supposed genius. But I still want to read Miracleman.

So I read AXM. I agree with a lot of the complaints re: the art, Beast's new look, the costumes, etc. The reveal at the end somehow didn't register for me, because it felt like something they must have already done a thousand times during the run. The impact for me came from the fact I figured she was going to end with the KILL ALL MUTANTS message we all know and love, and so that was a small surprise.

Aw, Harry Potter reference.

I also read Secret War. Is it wrong to like Secret War? Cause I really like it. Not only is it pretty, but I'm a fan of the whole superhero/military intrigue stuff, like in Ultimates and Ultimate Six. And Spidey's not wanting to run into the Green Goblin, or the Hobgoblin, or the Antigoblin, or any other goblin-like creatures was hilarious. I really do need to read Ultimate Spidey, don't I. Damn you, Bendis. Daaaaamn yooooouu!

Ultimate Spidey ROOLZ. Though I'm not crazy about Ultimate Six because I don't really warm up to the (para)military stuff.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

All I can say is, given his tendencies, what with the zombies and world domination , I'm surprised MM didn't name himself Kid Miracleman.

runs away

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I didn't mean to imply it's wrong to like Secret War, P-C. What is wrong is me picking up more Marvel titles. Oh, god, that's wrong.

Ha! Are you sure? I think my friend Angelo has you beat. He's the one who got me into comic books. Powers was my gateway comic.

Powers is the best comic there is. I love the art, the characters, the stories - all of it. Well, except that monkey lovin' issue...

I suddenly want Buffy/Robin fic. Except I'm not sure which Robin. I think Tim.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the origin arc, and I'm waiting for the series to kick back into action. And Deena. I miss Deena.
