Miracleman

Yes.

The beginning of Miracle Man in Marvel

Comics.

Oh, my God.

Newest issue of Avengers Armageddon came out this week.

And what you all have been calling Colt Perrion, what I have called the Ginger Avenger, he now has a new name.

And that's Miracle Man.

So, at this point in our Avengers Armageddon story, Bucky, who has now allied himself with David Colton in ridding the world of nukes, has gotten rid of every single solitary nuclear weapon in the U.S., which then gave Russia an opportune time to start shooting nukes at America.

So if you don't want to know, skip past the next like minute worth of the show.

But the final member of this team of Avengers that Zdarsky is writing is... is Miracleman.

So Miracleman is now an official part of the Marvel Universe, and it's not even the original Miracleman.

It is the modern-day Captain America that Zdarsky created that is going to be inhabiting the Miracleman moniker moving forward here.

Which is interesting because they do own the rights to the original Miracleman.

Yeah.

And wait, did Neil Gaiman ever finish his?

So, yeah.

Artist Joshua Kassara dead at 46.

Miracleman gets a facsimile edition.

This is Comic Book Club News for September 25, 2026.

When it first debuted in 2012, Saga by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples was the industry standard.

I don't think it's pompous at all.

I think it's exactly what Alan Moore wanted to portray through this character, the Mike Moran character, or Miracle Man, as it were.

So I think it's pitch perfect.

I think it's a good balance of stuff.

But the fact that it was kind of out of print, Eclipse went out of business, the books were late.

I think all these details hindered its overall impact of the moment.

You know, it's why like, you know, oh, if you know, you know, Miracleman or Marvelman, as it were.

But it shouldn't be that.

Guard.

Are you ready? Are you two ready? he's no longer going to be Miracleman.

He'll be Marvelman.

Well, but I mean, but I, I, no, it's, they call, they're calling him Miracleman, which is funny because they, they, they could call him Marvelman, right? I mean, that, that is the original character.

Um, he was changed to Miracleman because of Marvel.

Um, but they, uh, uh, um, I mean, this is like a different character, right? So this is not...

Um, then in a fit of pettiness, um, Uh-huh.

Gaiman sold Miracleman and Angela to Marvel to spite McFarlane.

Sure, sure, sure, sure.

And Gaiman ended up doing a number of, like, sequel books to the Miracleman Marvelman saga.

that had been promised years ago, but the characters rights were like tied up in all kinds of legal quagmires.

McFarlane actually, I remember, I remember when the spawn was coming out, he tried to put miracle man, Marvel man into spawn and couldn't like, right getting close to it okay kept calling him the man of miracles instead and then made a toy and that was probably there there it is biggest problem

You know, because Jenkins invented Sentry.

The only difference is the Sentry was made of whole cloth and was made as like a, you know, criticism slash concept that feels like an outdated idea that was whatever.
