Miracleman, New comics

New comics!

Dark Ages 3

Tom Taylor loves his shock moments.  Here he has Quicksilver snap Okoye’s neck and stab Johnny Storm in the chest.  Even better, it comes in the middle of some great character work.


Nightwing 86

Nightwing and the gang take down a UFO.  It’s great watching them all be uber competent.


Everyone ships them.


Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow 5

By the time this is over, this has a chance to be my favorite Tom King story.  This is on Pure Joy levels.  


Miracleman 1-3, 5-6

The Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham run.  (The missing issue is in the mail.)  These are a bunch of short stories covering life during the Miracleman Golden Age.  


It took me a couple of issues to realize: These are all Sandman stories.  Swap Morpheus in for Miracleman, and these would fit in perfectly as a Fables and Reflections or World’s End one-issue tale.  They’re not as good (except for the excellent Miraclewoman romance), but it’s kind of neat to see the leap between these issues and Sandman four years later.  


Regret buying: No

Would buy again: Yes

Would read again: Yes

Rating: Pretty good (1), Good (2), Nice (3, 5, 6)
