Usually zero issues are previews of what's to come but "Miracleman #0 is a celebration of what has passed as well. Zero issues also tend to be something that the average reader can just gloss over or entirely skip, but this motely crew of artists that have assembled to create this issue to usher in Gaiman's new run have created a read just as deep and essential as anything else within the Miracleman library.

More apocrypha about Miracleman aren't what I wanted, but the creators here have a lot to show us, and best of all, it serves as a precursor to The Silver Age being finished after 20 years in limbo. Read Full Review
This is a very strong showing for an anthology. It's refreshing to dip your toes into a completely different multiverse, and these strips range far enough to make Miracleman's world feel wide and wild. And Jason Aaron's strip brings it home, focusing on the meta-narrative idea of a superhero character rebelling against his creator.
The art is excellent all around, a diverse array of styles which are all impressive. Peach Momoko's presence was surprising in the best way.
I doubt I'll see more of Jakksa Gun in the follow-up series, which is proper -- he seems to be a very tertiary character. But Mike Carey's Jakksa strip was my favorite. A seamless transplant of a Chandler-esque detective story into a sci-fi setting, to more
A tribute and a re-introduction to a very complex character and story.
I am a huge fan of Mark Buckingham so Im super excited that he's the artist on the upcoming series and the work here did not disappoint.
0 is a good indication that the series will remain as experimental and odd and challenging as ever.
The story with Miracleman confronting his creator is pretty cool. The others are alright.
7/10.
