Gasp. Is this the first Neil Gaiman thing I've actively hated?

Very much as he did with Sandman, Gaiman steps into the ring and sidelines the title character, instead showing the new gods' influence on others around them.
Interesting to see a casually tossed off Moore line of dialogue turned into a full story, but overall, the feeling I got from this is that Gaiman didn't really know how to do anything with the MiracleMess Moore left behind, so set his sights on avoiding it completely.
At least at the start. There's apparently an entire planned out story...
Then, of course, decades later, we got the much-publicized and highly-touted return of Gaiman and Buckingham to Marvel...and then the much-publicized and ongoing Crash of Gaiman...
...so, once again, the book is in limbo.
At this point, Marvel needs to bring in another really good author/artist team who are capable of hitting deadlines and staying out of trouble, and let them re-Moore this entire thing one more time.
MiracleMan is a very good character with a rich history. Too good to be sidelined by mortal failings.

I love Neil Gaiman but this one was a bit weird, even for me.
I remember a good friend lending me these in single issue form years ago and loving the direction that Gaiman took Miracleman after Moore's run. That sense of wonder and terror has aged well with this rereading. A must for any Neil Gaiman fan.
Neil Gaiman's take on Miracleman and it's great. He takes details and characters from the original series and expands them into short graphic stories. I recommend reading the originals first then reading Gaiman's so you have the context of the story and the characters.

This was an interesting comic. I enjoyed the stories even if many were a bit odder then I would have expected.
