- Reading: Behold! I teach you the Superman.
Lets read this the story that people want to emulate in their climatic superhero conflicts but can never quite get to.

>not the recolors
Good taste man.
I recently finished reading Moore's issues, gonna start Gaiman soon.
>>81378268
It isn't worth it.
>>81378313
>It isn't worth it.
Oh really? How so? I figure I'll read it, it's not like it's very long anyway.

The last 10 pages of Olympus make a pretty perfect capstone and the Gaiman stuff is in the most predictable Gaiman ways cute but entirely Superfluous
Buckingham does some really neat work however.
So glad we did get high quality scans of the original stuff just as the new release was coming out.
>>81378420
>cute but entirely superfluous
that does describe the actual Silver Age pretty well, though
Behold! I teach you the character Marvel made a giant fanfare about and hasn't done shit with.
>>81378492
I think they're finally going to be releasing the new Gaiman stuff
>>81378492
You mean the one they have tried to milk as much money as possible out of and not even succeeded at that.
>>81378512
When's that "lost Morrison story".
>>81378653
wasn't that literally the first thing they released
>>81378653
They already put that out it is pretty bad.
When I finally read this I was shocked at how good it was. just fantastic
>>81378780
The storm and the fury in this is so incredible.
>>81378492
They've reprinted the old issues and are about to start putting out the new ones that Gaiman planned decades ago.
>>81378955
In the most inefficient and unappealing way.
I heard the new stuff was delayed too
>>81378158
Miracleman is one of the very very few superheroes that are done right, and even then, it's done by continually contrasting it with a traditional comic book rendition of him to show how underwhelming most capeshit really is.
>>81378199
>recolored shit
Dropped
>>81379342
This isn't that stuff.
>>81378803
I always thought this was stupid. KMM spent his life building up a corporation and threw it all away so MM would have someone to fight.
So Miracleman is Cap, Young Miracleman is Mary, Kid Miracleman is CM3, Gargunza is Sivana, Young Nastyman is Captain Nazi
>>81379342
this isn't the recolor, you maroon
>>81379455
I could see him getting bored with it.
>>81379518
>Kid Miracleman is CM3
Did CM3 go insane and murder everyone in London?
>>81379399
>I'm a superhero. Nothing can hurt me.
;_;
>>81379455
he spent his life building the corporation because he still had some small vestige of humanity left that wanted to be "normal"
MM returning meant he didn't have to hang on to that anymore
>>81379710
Nah, but in relation to Cap/MM it's the right fit.
Part 2 Begins
>>81378955
the ones that were supposed to come out in 2014, then 2015, and now finally we will get the first issue in 2016?
>>81378690
Didn't Grant say it wasn't even official just a spec he wrote but Marvel decided to milk those Morrison bux?
>>81379455
More like MM coming back meant KM had someone to fight. He finally had someone to actually fight with, and he just couldn't resist the chance.
Good thing Moore did the "It's was all a dream" first, otherwise this might come off as trite.
>>81379229
Deconstructing Captain Marvel is like kicking a puppy. Only the British would find sport in this.
>>81380854
It is just an easy reference point really, the strength of this is you don't need any of that stuff for it work just as much.
The problem with Animals
>>81381634
Or you just not say it's name.
Oh boy, time for the giving birth scene.
>>81378377
I don't get this page
So, was the explosion that was suppose to kill them the only time the went outside?
Part Three will not fit in this thread, and that climax deserves its own thread anyway.
Come Along to
Olympus

>>81382528
Fuck off, you fucking nonce.
>>81378361
The cop is wearing a sweatband!
1981 fashion-accurate!
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
>>81380002
Poor bastard.
>>81380404
Cheeky bastard. I like Mr. Cream, negro gets shit done.
>>81380369
>miracle butt
>>81378158
Honestly, I enjoyed Irredeemable more.
I find that if you scratch Moore, you find a smug dullard underneath, not quite understanding things, and holding up his misunderstandings as enlightenment. His strength is in the sincerity of his intellectual narcissism: he's so sure he has something profound to say that you feel as if you're reading something profound.
>>81381222
Well fuck me they actually made a Miracolous Dog
Reading
bump for best comic
>>81378377
This page still gives me goosebumps, the transition from absolute naivety golden age superhero to full on cynicism, nihilism and deconstructionism is just blunt, good blunt.
Allan Moore, you fedora faggot, I love you so much, thank you for hating superheroes as much as you do.
>>81380854
>Deconstructing Captain Marvel is like using basic math. Only the Americans would not understand it.
