3 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Award-winning writer NEIL GAIMAN (Sandman) and artist MARK BUCKINGHAM (Fables) unveil Miracleman's Golden Age! Atop Olympus, Miracleman presides over a brave new world forged from London's destruction. It is a world free of war, of famine, of poverty. A world of countless wonders. A world where pilgrims scale Olympus' peak to petition their living god while, miles below, the dead return in fantastic android bodies. It is an Age of Miracles - but is humankind ready for it? Do we even want it? Is there a place for humanity in a world of gods? Gaiman and Buckingham delve into the lives of lonely idealists, rebellious schoolchildren and fracturing families - exploring the human constant in a changing world of gods and miracles. Collecting MIRACLEMAN (1985) #17-22 and material from TOTAL ECLIPSE #4 [as presented in MIRACLEMAN BY GAIMAN & BUCKINGHAM #1-6].

This collection of short stories serves as an epilogue to the epically brilliant MIRACLEMAN series. It‘s been a while, so some details of the series are hazy, mitigating my level of enjoyment. This is the exact opposite of an ‘entry point‘ for new readers. Recommended to be read immediately after the main series, which is absolutely top tier superhero deconstruction storytelling.

A fascinating series of vignettes in a post-Miracle world that really shows off Buckingham's artistic versatility. The Prisoner-esque "Spy Story" and Andy Warhol-influenced "Botes from the Underground" are particular standouts.

charlesphoffman It's interesting how similar the themes of living in a miraculous world are to the non-comics book I'm making my way through, Rachel Pollack's Unquenchable Fire. Might need to explore the two together when I'm through with it... 8y
charlesphoffman Ugh, should be "Notes from Underground" above.... 8y
