NO WAY. Really, MM?

Personally I just find this impractical. Character's like MiracleMan just don't fit into the worlds of "mainstream" comic. DC could have put him in Vertigo and never looked back but Marvel seems like it will inevitably have him interacting with characters he's terribly incompatable with.

No matter what I think this will be interesting.

So it's definitely within mainstream continuity???????

I'm guessing no. He'll start out in his own continuity( like Supreme Power/Squadron Supreme), with all of his past history intact, and maybe he'll cross over to Earth-616 evntually.

Hopefully, they will reprint the Moore and Gaiman work. Gaiman will finish the Silver and Dark ages respectively then they can do what the hell they want as a reboot. If they have any sense they will treat the Moore Gaiman work as seperate to any re-imagining that they want to do. Otherwise they will indeed have ****ed it up.

you know marvels wants him to have him in 616, they realize the money they can make by fans seeing him interact with the mainstream

True - I believe it'll happen eventually. Seeing so many of the heroes and villains stopping to think, "Who's that? And why is he just pwning everyone?" 😄

Probably not but I don't think Marvel will be able to keep him out of it for very long.

It's really, really unlikely we'll see Miracleman in the MU.

Hopefully, we'll get reprints of Moore/Gaiman stuff that is just IMPOSSIBLE to find, and Gaiman will take up where he left off, finishing his planned, three part run he only got to do the first part of.

Never read it. (before my time)

Heard some great things about it, a certain banned user championed the character after all, so I'm in the middle of downloading it as we speak.

Yeah, came out years before my time, too- it's one of the three times I've broken my "no downloading comics" rule, because it's not available in trade and buying the individual issues is going to set you back a couple hundred bucks.

Yes. I think Whirlysplat would be a happy man right now, knowing MM is getting the spotlight again.

pray they don't balls it up. fingers crossed.

If they can get Moore or Gaimon, cool. Otherwise, I'm with Galan. The move = 👇

I'm with Enyalus on this one.....(but that's because we're talking Marvel, and you guys know my feelings)...anywhoo, this most likely will end up in three ways....

One as zombie.

Two as a Skrull.

Three zOMG! HE'S FIGTH RED HULK AND RED HULK SMAAASH WITH PUNY MIRAKLES!!!! OOOOH FANBOYS GO WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Pick one.

The problem is MM is at a higher standard than over 90 % percent of comic books. Only Gaimen is someone I feel is fit to right it. Moore is out, we will never see him come to marvel for this. Problem is knowing my luck, might find out Loeb is taking over the series.

I think Whirly came back a couple of times only to get banned some more ✅

As a stupid, casual fan of comics, I find this to be an unwise move. I've never heard of this guy before and, from skimming his bio, I immediately think he's a knock off of Captain Marvel. True, a good story from a good writer can turn a boring ass cucumber into a sweet ass pickle, but that's going to be one tough hump to get over.

It's a lot different than that actually.

Spoiler:
An alien crash lands in England in the 50s, which the brittish air force (headed up by a former nazi scientist) procures and onboard is an alien that can change forms much like Captain Marvel can; so the government abduct orphaned children of former Air Force pilots and experiments upon them, implementing them with the same powers as the aliens. For seven years the nazi uses comic book storylines (Captain Marvel comics are visible in several panels) and pumps them into their brain to make them believe they'd got their power from a Shazam like being.

Then they decide they've out-lived their usefulness and decide to try and kill them, which results in Miracleman forgetting he's Miracleman and Young Miracleman's presumably killed, leaving Kid Miracleman to turn evil without anyone to keep him in check.

It's a really dark book actually, but beautifully written.

I agree that Gaiman should be the only one allowed to touch this however.
