I'm a big Gaiman fan, and since the current 616 (or whatever they call it now after they blew it all up) doesn't appeal to me, I'm looking for some alternatives. Is Miracleman good? Accessible? Can I pick it up from #1 and know what's going on? Any recommendations? "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices." – Albus Dumbledore

It's just reprinting the classic stories. No new material. City of Heroes is BACK!

There's one point where Miracleman kind of comes off as a gay pedophile. It was like the equivalent of Batman making a pass at Tim Drake.

It is however an interesting emotional can of worms which Miraclewoman created by telling Miracleman that his former sidekick is in love with him ... so we'll have to see how it pans out.

And the kid was horrified. He certainly lacks boundaries.

And he didn't do it because he wanted to have sex with him ... he did it on (presumably) bad advice that YM was in love with him. But agreed that MM is not the brightest bulb in the box.
