So it's insane I never even heard of this series. I've been reading comics for a LONG time but some I just never heard of. Buddy of mine told me this is Alan Moore's top 3 most talked about series next to V and Watchmen. Well damn, I had to jump on and read it.

So this starts off with a very goofy 50's superhero issue. Super cheesy and what you'd expect from comics written then. We then flip to the 80's and learn our hero is reborn! Michael Moran thought he was just a regular dude living his life with his wife. Then one day he mutters the words and becomes Miracleman! Very similar to Shazam, but with this story we take some dark turns. Very very dark and twisted turns.

Good: Really dug the feel of this comic. The look into superheroes and how screwed up it can become when it's all "a facade" for someone and he's actually an experiment of sorts. The villain here is really screwed up and loved how Miracleman, the hero of the story, gets his shit wrecked so quick. The lengthy dialogue for the most part actually has great moments and it's well written.

Bad: It is long-winded though. Heavy on exposition and dialogue boxes might turn some away. Also, the added on warpath or whatever issue is dull and stupid, skip it if you ask me. Adds nothing to the main story.

Overall, this is a really screwed up comic in a lot of ways but I was intrigued the whole time. Time to check out volume 2 and onward! A 4 out of 5.
