McFarlane's Man of Miracles

Guess who's back?

What with all the MiracleMan/MarvelMan talk over the past week, I thought I'd post 4 of the six pages from MM's most recent appearance - the Image anniversary hardcover.

To think, we'll never get to see more of this masterpiece...

(Coming up: LIEFELD!)

I'm puzzled how McFarlane meant this to tie in to the character written by Moore.

He didn't. IIRC McFarlane only owned (or thought he did) the MM logo and maybe the likeness of the character but not any of the previous stories due to the legal quagmire the rights were in. This was basically him trying to get some money out of it and piss off Gaimen (who was suing him at the time) by waving the logo in his face.

Of course then the writer of Spawn at the time completely changed Man of Miracles to look like a white-haired anime character before revealing that "he" was actually both Jesus Christ and the mother of both God and the Devil (Man of Miracles = MoM, get it?) who had been reborn on Earth as Spawn's wife's twin children.

UH. HUH.

Yeah, the story has that effect on people. And I left out some of the "best" parts like Spawns granny getting caught in the Rapture and made a soldier in Heavens army, the Apostles being super-warrior angels led by Judas (who kills Spawn) and Spawn becoming more powerful then God and the Devil.
