    Question Whither Miracleman?

    Does anybody know if/when the Gaiman Silver Age Miracleman storyline will ever resume from Marvel?

    Has MM made any appearances in any of the Marvel books since the deal was made? Can we get a limited series called Avengers UK -- or Excalibur International -- or something to get the man's feet wet at least? Feels like we've been waiting a lifetime.

    Keep Miracleman out of the Marvel Universe.

    The thing that makes his series tick is the world-shifting consequences of the story. It’s entirely incompatible with the Marvel Universe. If you take that away, he’s just a Shazam knock off. There’s no point to it.

    I don't think anyone knows.

    He appeared in Marvel Comics #1000, in a very meta way, suggesting he knows the Marvel heroes as fictional stories:



    A second print variant cover for the book also had him front and center:



    I'm not sure if Marvel ever plans on making him crossover with the actual MU someday, but I wouldn't be against an event in which he appears in the MU, from the point of view of someone who sees their world as fiction. Like Gwenpool, but in a more serious tone. His standalone stories should be in his own universe, though.

    Because the MU us a multiverse, it's at least possible to do a cross over similar to the way they handle the Squadron Supreme.

    Possible, yes. Good idea, no f***ing way. Imagine the Watchmen crossing over with the DC Universe had the last few issues of that series not been published. As time passes, current fans become less and less aware of the original series and its groundbreaking wonder. A crossover would lessen the status of the character and serve to justify putting other talent on the Silver Age completion.

    IMO, finish the original series before any crossing over is done.
