Miracleman: The Silver Age #1 - "The Secret Origin of Young Miracleman"

[laughing_tree]

How does a utopia work in terms of love? In terms of family? I was a young writer going, I don’t know if I could write a superhero comic, but I could write interesting utopian science-fiction. Dystopias are the fun ones that people love. Everybody loves a good dystopia. Utopias are so much harder. -- Neil Gaiman

"Do you know what your children are?"

Isn't that from an anti-mutant poster from some X-comic?

Yep.



It's a riff on the "Do you know where your children are" PSAs from the 80's.

Best riff was Calvin's:

All that effort asking parents if they knew where or what their kids were, when they could have been asking if they knew *who* their kids were.

"Do you know why your children are?"

[super_fly]

Goddamn, that's one I'd hope they knew *before* they had them

Florida schools probably aren't allowed to teach that, so there at least....

Well, one man's utopia is another man's dystopia.

I feel like Utopias are hard because critiquing the real world while your Utopian world only exist because of space magic feels like bullshit.

Its a very tricky thing to pull off and have it work.
