Miracleman Omnibus

Product Information

He and Miraclewoman reshape the world into a utopia. All the practical ills of human society are cured, and the offer of superhuman powers and children is gradually taken up by a humanity who regard the Miracleman Family as gods. The pantheon of new gods build Olympus, a huge temple in the ruins of Central London where they are worshipped by human acolytes. Despite having created a utopia, Miracleman is haunted by Liz’s accusation that he has lost touch with his humanity. For the third arc, Moore wanted a single artist to illustrate the work - feeling that while all of the artists on Book Two had been capable the chopping and changing had left the story with an "uncertain" tone. [8] He selected John Totleben, with whom he had previously collaborated on Swamp Thing for DC Comics; Totleben had already contributed the cover to Miracleman #9. [45] Moore had considered quitting the title after the end of Book Two after Yronwode and Mullaney berated his then-wife Phyllis over the phone over deadlines, but ultimately decided to stay on due to the opportunity to link up with Totleben again. [45] The first result of their latest collaboration was Miracleman #11, released in May 1987, with the artist drawing heavily on the style of Virgil Finlay. [45] However Totleben began struggling with what was initially diagnosed as retinitis pigmentosa, [Note 4] greatly slowing his work-rate. Moore vociferously resisted any suggestion of replacing Totleben, resulting in the nominally bi-monthly six issues taking over two and a half years to complete; by this point the series' slow schedule was well known. [46] Totleben's work on Miracleman would subsequently be shortlisted for the 1988 Eisner Awards [47] and received praise from Andy Mangels of Amazing Heroes due to being "incredibly richly textured", with the writer placing Miracleman 6th on his list of the 20 best comics then in publication.

I almost run out of superlatives when it comes to describing the sheer, unadulterated force that is Alan Moore. My favourite comic book author by a sizeable margin. There is Alan Moore's writing, and then there is everyone elses. The gulf really is that wide. And despite modern comics being a shower of unreadable shite, one of the few saving graces is that there is never a shortage of Alan Moore's works being collected in hardcover format. One of the many benefits of having oodles of talent, that no matter how much some people may wish to cancel you, your books sell that bloody well, neither Disney Marvel nor Dead Company can afford to keep his works out of print.

After returning to Earth Miracleman finds himself growing apart from his human ties as Liz leaves him and Winter [who is physically a small child but already beyond even Miracleman himself in terms of mental development] leaves Earth to find and learn from The Qys. This new printing will give readers another chance to witness Miracleman’s incredible origins, his most breathtaking feats, and the relevant and dramatic struggles of his alter-ego, freelance reporter Michael Moran, who must reconcile his life as the lesser half of a god—all depicted in glorious Omnibus format! Considered one of the medium’s greatest masterpieces, Miracleman’s adventures launched a new wave of comic book storytelling, and its extraordinary impact on the Super Hero genre is still felt to this day.

It’s pretty incredible to read this, really Moore’s first genuine foray into comic writing, and see just how many of his recurring tropes and themes find their way into this book. You’ve got a deeply subversive approach to superhero mythology that simultaneously pays homage to the superhero writing of his childhood; gigantic, mind-bending ideas about space and time; superheroes as a New Pantheon; a deep disdain for Margaret Thatcher; horrifically disturbed yet sympathetic villains; and, of course, the theme that Sex Rules. The guy simply loves sex and wants you to love it too. Don’t worry, Alan! We love sex! a b Khoury, George (2001). "Reign of the Warrior King". Kimota! The Miracleman Companion. TwoMorrows Publishing.

New York, NY— November 23, 2022 — Last month, Marvel Comics honored the 40th anniversary of Miracleman’s transformative reinvention with the brand-new MIRACLEMAN OMNIBUS! This long-awaited omnibus collected the influential work on the character from all of its legendary creators such as Alan Davis, Garry Leach, John Totleben, and more.

While the novelty of "mature version of a classic superhero" is pretty played out by now, Miracleman not only did it first, but it did it better. A lot of the book seems overly edgy in 2023, and that's probably a fair criticism. However the approach feels a lot more genuine than writing sex and gore just for the sake of it like many comics have done since (see: The Boys... or anything else by Ennis).Moore, Alan( w), Davis, Alan( a)."The Yesterday Gambit" Warrior,no.4(August 1982).
