Sounds like a Marvelman/Miracleman reprint series is likely to finally happen next year. No official announcement yet, though. They seem to be working on the publishing schedule behind the scenes. So I don't think there's any need to ask Neil Gaiman before there's an official announcement.

Miracleman is great, parts of it are just amazing.
I really want to have Neil's arcs finished too. |

Book 3 (by Alan Moore) and 4 (by Neil Gaiman) are some of the greatest comics ever made. Too bad about the messy book two. BUt it's not enough to drag this classic down from the status of complete legend.

Book two has it's problems, but book three in particular is one of the best things I've ever read in comics. It's still my favourite Alan Moore thing ever.
Golden Age was good, but Silver Age was when Gaiman really seemed to be making the story his own, but it just didn't get far enough  |

Before the Alan Moore became huge, the ownner of a local comicbook store and I got into a converstation about needing something new to read. He highly recomended Miracleman to me. He even offered to yet me borrow most of the back isssues with no commitment to buy. I balked at that but I did buy the first 7 issues because the were going for cover price. I loved it. I kick myself for not trying to pick up the entire set before Alan Moore's stuff went up in price and Miracleman became rare. I have most ofthe Neil Gaiman issues. I like them but not as much as the Moore stuff.
It would be great to pick up the series in trade paperback. ------------------------------ my cup runs over but I am so blind I just complain as it spills around me |

Originally I was waiting for the collected edition, and later I was worried that it would be too frustrating if it ended mid-story, and didn't buy the single issues. - Michael My boring blog: http://www.xanga.com/mtxx "This is the spring without end / This is the summer of malcontent / This is the winter of your mind" |

Proud owner of Miracleman 1-24.
Olympus (#11-16) is the best Moore work ever. Better than Watchmen, better than LXG. I will be happy when everyone can read it again and I can buy TPB to read instead of my originals. *stares at watch counting down the minutes* I'm Matt Cable and I approve this message. ________________________________________________ I'm alright.

...and Gaiman will probably have his new novel finished before Christmas. Then he should be able to start writing new Miracleman issues sometime next year.

just curious: what exactly makes this worthy of a sticky, when almost nothing else is?

It's an announcement of something new from Neil. Since this is his board, it seems appropriate.
Under ordinary circumstances, I'd delete a thread reposted to second forum, but since this is distinctly Neilesque, I figured I'd make it stickie, then take it down later, burying it a page or two back, still closed, effectively getting rid of it. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury |

after searching for five years, I found MM 15 at the great escape in Nashville Tn, for 20 bucks, and DIDN't buy it.
I will never own that book, I've lost 100 ebay auctions for it. The series is just perfect. I've always heard that Neil had already written all of the issues that he had planned-through, "The Dark Ages." Is that not true? |

quote: No, not true. But they ARE planning to finish it. Gaiman DOES consider Miracleman some of the best stuff he's ever written, and he still wants to finish it. - Michael My boring blog: http://www.xanga.com/mtxx "This is the spring without end / This is the summer of malcontent / This is the winter of your mind" |

There was another issue of the Silver Age actually written and drawn but never published I think. I might have read somewhere that Neil had another issue written as well. He's said that he had it planned out through to Dark Age.

"Neil Gaiman has been on the road and telling folks that Miracleman will be coming out from Marvel in 18 months or so, as soon as some legal T's are crossed and I's dotted. In addition, he will be doing another project for Marvel, although he and Joe Quesada are still kicking ideas around for exactly what it will be. So it isn't Thor?"
