Miracleman #1: A Review From Someone Who’s Never Read The Series Before

Last Wednesday, January 15th, the first issue of Marvel Entertainment’s reprinting of the 1982 revival of Miracleman dropped.  As a longtime lover of comics who has never read the series but has been keenly aware of its reputed quality and impact on the form, I made sure to pick it up as quickly as I could.Beyond what I’d heard about the series, I couldn’t help but be incredibly excited to have the opportunity to read one of the works of Alan Moore that has to date been difficult, nigh impossible, to get one’s hands on.  Given the nature of the work, I was also motivated to review as much of the series as I could, hence the article you are currently reading, and provide the perspective of a reader coming to this series for the first time.That being said, the first issue of Marvel’s Miracleman was a pleasant surprise.
