JollyComics Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I guess it was hoping too much of MARVEL to leave Miracleman un-molested. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/05/10/marvel-stop-publishing-mass-market-miracleman-digital-editions/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Unfortunately....I wished Marvel leaves Spider-man unmolested too! Too many books are overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwire Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I noticed on amazon with the pre order of the reprints moore's name is not even listed, it says "original writer". will he not allow his name on it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. From what I understand Moore didn't want his name anywhere on the reprints. I'm guessing he didn't want MARVEL to make money off his name.

EwanUK Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Have been having a lengthy Miracleman vacation (mostly brought on by a sulk about multiple Marvel covers) but predictably I'm now back... I understand we're on no.6 now? I see on ebay there appear to be at least 4 or 5 different covers to each issue - plus some convention specials? Does anyone know what each of them are please? and what the "ratio's" are? And why are there so few graded copies? Has it sold well? All the back issues seem to have sold out at my LCS. Back on the original run, are there any new 9.9s? There were previously no.12, no.15 and no.17 ? thanks guys - new fanzine finds coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only bought the #1 Buckingham cover so far in CGC 9.8 s/s; I've not been that interested in getting any more from the Marvel reprints so far. I was hoping your avatar would be considered for a cover: From the Eclipse series there are still only four 9.9's: #12, #15, #15 and #17 with only two in registry sets. All quiet on the registry front with mschmidt still in total domination with the top two sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50 Cent #II (1st) Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Received my hard cover book 1 today, nice but seems a bit thin for the $30 they're asking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faster friends Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hi All, I just picked up MIracleman Book 1 A Dream of Flying, Hardback, and Book 3 Olympus, Soft Back. Both look close to Mint. eBay has these at pretty high asking prices. Anyone know what I can actually expect to get for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 wasn't that the plan? I might be misremembering, but I thought they were going to finish up the run afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it they are going to use the art that was done in the early 90s for issue 25, but I bet Buckingham/Gaiman are going to pick up with issue 25.

Good to here and seems like I already knew that. Did Buckingham retain the art for #25 or has it been scattered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartened Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just picked up the new Book 1 TPB. 20% discount at the Special Edition NYC Comic Com, through Midtown Comics. Flipped through then looked at the back cover and noticed they used my Warrior #2 cover art for the back cover of the book! A nice little treat for me! Agree, a little thing for the money. But then again we used to pay a lot less for a lot more back in the day. In fact those old 10 cent comics have as much or more than the comics of today in them, and today's price is quite a bit higher. That's quite a markup for glossy pages and a wider color palette!

Nexus Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just saw the latest circulation numbers. Unfortunately, the print run has been falling steadily. I still maintain that Marvel's goal from the outset should have been to get the book into as many hands as possible. Instead, the first issue came with a $5.99 (or was it $6.99?) price tag. A non-starter. Now the first HC collection comes out for $30. It's thin, only 4-5 issues worth of material. Another non-starter. Seems like Marvel only thought to serve the nostalgia market, which would be totally backwards. They don't need the revenue from a 20K print run. Better to treat the early issues/trades as a loss leader. The $9.99 volume 1 TPB model now heavily used by Image is the way to go. Marvel can afford it; the key is to give as much exposure to the property as possible. Feels like they've choked the potential with a short-sighted strategy. Still not too late, though. Hope they figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

followtheleader Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hell, My preference would have been 4 "updated" trades (or more if they want to split it up better). Then start releasing the new issues. People would go bonkers. Maybe have started the reprints with 23 & 24 to give people a refresher, the entire story, and not have to wait an eternity.

RockMyAmadeus Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Just the idea of Gaiman and Buckingham's 25 and 26 seeing the light of day after...TWENTY...YEARS....of waiting is enough to thrill me to my socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
