Gaiman And Buckingham Finish Miracleman!
 When Marvel first announced that they had resolved all the rights issues for Alan Moore's Miracleman, THIS is the moment that longtime fans had been waiting for.
Because Moore had left the series and turned it over to his friend Neil Gaiman, who began but never got to finish the last chapter with artist Mark Buckingham, going from "The Golden Age," to "The Silver Age", and then leaving unfinished "The Dark Age." It was clear that in Gaiman's vision, the utopia brought about by this superhero turned god had more than a few cracks... and a snake was in paradise.
But now, after reprinting all of Moore's run with a variety of collaborators, Marvel has finally gotten around to Gaiman and Buckingham's work ... and they will see it through to the end for the first time.
I honestly don't know how this book has read for people that had heard the legend but never encountered it before. I hope they realize how good it is.
