Some readers may find this familiar territory, again, because they're looking back on a work with a backlog of twenty years' worth superhero comics that drew heavily upon the literary tropes that were only just developing here.

As previously mentioned, the narration is great, but the dialogue doesn't have the same pop to it. The artwork is good overall, but shouldn't rely so heavily on the colors to connect the look. It's more than average, but it's not a comic miracle. I'm hoping for better from Miracleman in the next round. Read Full Review

Gary Leach's art seems as dark as the story, with his pronounced and heavy line. Much like this character, I'm unfamiliar with Gary's work and that's unfortunate, as his art is a joy to look at. His panel layouts tell the story effectively, and he pushes the violence to a point where it actually seems real and scary. Not only that, but the modern restoration of coloring on this book serves his art well. I don't have the original books to compare, but the colors here still have a dated feel, while being clean and modern. Within this issue is also a story with art by Alan Davis and Paul Neary, a behind the scenes look into Gary Leach's artwork, and two 1950′s tales of Marvelman that dives into the character's rich, yet a bit corny history. I think I'd be happier with just a reprint of the Alan Moore stories for a cheaper price, but Marvel is doing a service to the character by giving us so much more. Read Full Review

Moore's script crackles with a younger, rawer energy than anything we've ever read from him before while still reminding us of the prosaic and dense prose that enticed us in the first place. Gary Leach's art really takes off in this issue, providing some truly scary visuals as well as some vast, cinematic panels. Read Full Review
