the return of the miracle man

[sergebroom]

I see that Marvel is reprinting "Miracle Man", starting with Alan Moore's tales, then presumably with Neil Gaiman's. I understand that they'll then come up with new stories. I'm not sure how I feel about that. When I discovered "MM" in the early 1980s, it was a breath of fresh if harsh air in a ho-hum field. Ultimately though, it was a storytelling dead end, and Moore himself, when he came back to comics, took an approach not unlike Kurt Busiek's - ignore the mercilessly realistic approach and instead embrace the silliness while twisting it around. I guess I'll keep an eye on "Miracle Man", and see how they'll handle things in a field that, to me anyway, is mostly ho-hum again.
