Miracleman Alan Moore Run

Recommended Posts

As promised, issues 1-16 of the great Miracleman series. I, of course, strongly reccommend you purchase thi series if it is ever rereleased (or *cross fingers*) finished.

 

You need this program:

to view the comics.

 

Enjoy!

 

 

EDIT: D'OH! I hit the post topic button accidentally. I'm waiting for yousendit to upload.

If cdisplay works, it definitely will. Otherwise, look up the file extension and mac, and hope for the best.

 

EDIT: Upon second blush. if you can open a RAR file (I hope macs can) you can extract each issue into individual images. Give that a try.

I've got them and they're working properly. I won't read them just yet as I'm actually in the middle of Moore's Supreme: Story of the Year (which, by the way, has made me laugh out loud and demonstrates perfectly why those Loonatics being talked about in the TV folder don't have to be a bad thing), but I'll say thanks now.

YES! I was JUST about to come here and ask where I could get these without selling my house, and lo and behold! here they are.

 

Awesome.

 

EDIT: Huge fucking file, though. God knows how long this will take on my slow computer.

Thanks.

 

Is there an easier way to turn the pages on the comic reader program?

I keep having to try and scroll down a billion times before the page actually turns, and then sometimes I scroll too far.

Use Page Down instead.

 

While we're trafficking comics, anybody know where I can download the Morrison run on Animal Man?

 

PS: Kid Miracleman is too fucking cool.

There's an options setting in CDisplay where you can set, for example, double-click as page forward, double-right-click as page back.

 

As to the comments of it not being finished, Alan Moore definitely had a satisfactory ending to his run. When Gaiman took over, he had 3 parts planned, and only made it a little way into part II IIRC.

Thanks a bunch, Special K. I'm a huge fan of Alan Moore's work and have never read his Miracleman run before.

You don't even want to know what popped up when I searched for 'animal man'. Eww, gross.

Google would be would be awesome if there was a way to narrow searches down by category, rather than just key words.

I was thinking about downloading it before. If the file ever works again, is it worth the time? Also, how big is the file?

I'll probably put it back up, perhaps in 3 sections (ommitting the lameass reprint issue.) for slower connections. It'll probably take until tomorrow, though.

Yeah, I think in the pantheon of comic book villains, Kid Miracleman Has to rank up there with the greats like the Joker and Dr. Doom, even though he only had a few issues. He's beastly. They should have had HIM kill Superman. (Just because I recently read Death of Superman, and it was, well, lame.)

I've finished it. Quite good. Deserves it's praise.

Since it has been praised so thoroughly already, here's my complaints: I didn't like it as much when it got so cosmic, I found the human characterizations and struggles more interesting. Kid Miracleman was easily the best and my favorite character, I agree with what's been said about him. In fact I like him so much, I think he was underused and had lots of untapped potential in his character left over. Young Miracleman didn't seem to serve any purpose. I understand why he was there, but he seemed like a red herring to nothing, particularly with that stuff about Young Nastyman. It seemed like something was being implied, or built to, and then nothing.

Still one of the finest comic stories I've read.

Young Miracleman supposedly becomes more of a mjor character in Gaiman's run, and I believe Moore was leaving some threads dangling so Gaiman had things to work with. Keep in mind he hand picked Gaiman to take over.

That's good, I'd meant to read Gaiman's run eventually anyway.

It also occured to me that MM sometimes had a striking resemblance to the Matrix. The climax of Matrix Revolutions practically was Miracleman 15.
