Alan Moore is a name synonymous with comic books. Whether you have comic book ink running in your veins, or have never picked up a comic book aside from catching the latest Marvel or DC film, you have probably heard of Alan Moore. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Watchmen, From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Batman: The Killing Joke all have film adaptations based on his prolific works. However, let me caution you not to judge Moore by the films based on his works. Moore has a long-standing... hatred for the film industry because of these adaptations. However, this article is not about Moore, but about one of his lesser-known works, Miracleman.
Thanks to a large sale on Marvel digital comics and books from awhile back I was able to pick up Miracleman Vol. 1-3, and Miracleman: The Golden Age. Created by Mick Anglo in the 1950s, Miracleman, or Marvelman as he was originally known,...

I don’t keep up with superhero comics anymore — I have to admit that. Astro City was probably the last thing in that vein I read regularly, and even that was only as “regularly” as Astro City itself was…and that’s not very. Eventually, I even soured on that comic.
At some point in your life, you either realize that punching people is not the solution to problems, or you become a full-blown psychopath. For all my flaws, I’m on the first path.
All that is to explain why I never bothered to read the Hawkeye run written by Matt Fraction and mostly drawn by David Aja, despite it being pretty much assumed to be the best superhero comic while it was coming out (2012-15). Even if something is the obvious best sushi in the world, it doesn’t matter if your taste for seafood has gone.
But time marches on, and curiosity keeps building. And there’s always time for one more book, especially one that’s a few years old and no longer the hot new thing. So I finally did get to the hardcover collecting the first half of that Fraction-Aja Hawkeye run — eleven issues of that series, plus a loosely related issue of Young Avengers Presents as a kind of flashback.
(That Young Avengers Presents issue comes off very badly by comparison, even with strong art from long-time expert ink-slinger Alan Davis. It’s very much Yet Another Superhero Story, in the middle of a big stupid story that people didn’t even care that much about at the time, with the bog-standard angst and drama and Whining About the Relationship. It’s everything “good superhero comics” usually are, and a major exemplar of why I stopped reading that crap. In a nutshell, it’s a story about costumes being moved around a chessboard, not about people or real relationships.)
The main Hawkeye story, though, is about people. Mostly Clint Barton, the least of the Avengers, whose origin is a bizarre amalgam of Robin I and Green Arrow and whose “power” is just being good at shooting arrows. And who isn’t actually all that good at the living-normal-life thing, for reasons Fraction wisely doesn’t explore — he just takes Barton as the overgrown boy he is, stumbling through his own life like a bull in a china shop, getting into trouble just because that’s what he does when left to his own devices. The trouble here is mostly about a Brooklyn tenement that he semi-accidentally bought (with stolen money from the Marvel Universe’s biggest gangsters), to drive away a low-rent Russian gang he calls the Tracksuit Draculas. Again, his plans mostly don’t work, or don’t work right, and he needs to be saved repeatedly by the women in his life. Which brings us to….
There’s also a newer, younger, female Hawkeye — always have to have a non-cishet-swm person in the costume these days, and pretend that person will “always” be the “real” holder of the shiny superhero title, as if we haven’t seen a million “always” melt away in a million comics. (I think that’s mostly cynical audience-pandering, but it’s hard to tell in individual cases — and every superhero-universe character gets handled by so many people that they turn into river-stones, rubbed down to an essence that no one person intended.) She’s Kate Bishop, and I have no idea why she’s so good at shooting arrows, or why she went into the superhero game — she seems to have as few powers as Barton, and many more options. (She’s some variety of rich girl, as far as I can tell.)
But this is a superhero universe, so dressing up in tight spandex to jump around rooftops and beat up thugs is just what you do. Apparently no other entertainment media exist in this world, so this is the only thing to do to keep oneself occupied.
These are, as I said, mostly low-level superheroics. Neither Hawkeye saves the world, and the globe-trotting is more spycraft than Galactus-defeating. Aja’s art is perfectly suited for that level, and tells the story brilliantly, well aided by Matt Hollingsworth’s colors. (There’s also a two-issue story by Javier Pulido and a single issue by Francesco Francavilla here — both are good, but flashier than Aja and so they stand out too much for my taste.) Aja reminds me of nothing so much as David Mazzucchelli’s classic superhero period, particularly Daredevil and Batman: Year One. There’s a similar grounded-ness, with thin lines that frame often violent action without rationalizing it — keeping it shocking and unexpected even in the middle of a story designed to showcase violent action. It’s strongly compliments Fraction’s similarly grounded writing: both of them are committed to telling a story about people in a real world, moving through real space, whose actions have consequences and who bleed and feel and curse and laugh and wryly shake their heads.
Aja also delights in complex page layouts — or his ability energizes Fraction to create them, either way it’s a strong collaboration — which make the world part of the story, and not just flat backdrops for more punching. An issue told from the Pov of a dog is particularly impressive, and probably hugely well-known by this point.
You don’t need to read Hawkeye. You never need to read any superhero comic, no matter what they tell you. But, if you do want to read about superheroes., this is miles closer to the real world than most.

Picking up the torch from H.R. Giger’s snarling, serpentine Xenomorph and Alien: Covenant, Empire has elected Spider-Man: Homecoming to be its latest cover star in anticipation of Jon Watts’ reboot swinging into theaters in two months’ time.
The standard issue is expected to hit store shelves on Thursday, May 18th, and the outlet promises a deluge of new content comprised of Luc Besson’s wildly ambitious sci-fi tentpole Valerian, the “first word” on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Transformers: The Last Knight, Wonder Woman, and Taika Waititi’s hotly-anticipated Thor: Ragnarok, so stay tuned for more.
If you’re an Empire subscriber, you’ll likely find that this month’s issue is either on its way to you, or that it’s already popped through your letterbox. It’s a real treat, too (see below), as the outlet enlisted legendary Marvel artist Alan Davis to design a special cover for Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Marvel Comics has announced 'Ultron Forever'.
Writer Al Ewing and artist Alan Davis are collaborating on the three-issue storyline, which will be released in the spring.
It will see a motley group of time-travelling Avengers facing off against the villainous artificial intelligence Ultron.
The story was inspired by a future revealed in Jonathan Hickman's Avengers #31, which revealed a possible future in which Ultron rules as the 'All Father'.
"He's achieved all his goals, and he's kind of become this godlike figure," Ewing told La Times. "It's almost like humanity is just this resource for him now, but at the same time, he's enjoying lording it over them.
"He's enjoying pulling the wings off the fly, so to speak, and really taking his time over his final victory."
A team is gathered with the help of Dr Doom's time machine, including Black Widow, the Vision, the new female Thor, James Rhodes as Iron Man,...

Gotham took a big step forward with "The Balloonman," a semi-silly but mostly endearing villain-of-the-week episode devoted to the defender of Gotham City before Batman arrived on the scene. In the 1987 comic-book arc Batman: Year Two, writer Mike Barr and artist Alan Davis introduced readers to the city's first champion, the Reaper, a scythe-wielding antihero who prowled the streets and served as a — wait for it — grim counterpoint to the caped crusader who succeeded him. By contrast, the first pre-Batman superhero on the show, though, is, uh, the Balloonman?Yes, the Balloonman, a mysterious vigilante who handcuffs Gotham City's most corrupt public figures to hot-air balloons and kills them by sending them into the sky. Introduced with a creepy Carnival-style mask and a pushcart with warped bicycle wheels, the Balloonman is the kind of goofy character you might find in Batman: The Animated Series. His presence in this week's episode...

So on Monday, I watched the Gotham series premiere with about 8 million of my friends. I started writing a column about the show and what it says (accidentally and/or purposefully) about the role of Batman in pop culture right now. But working on that column got me thinking more generally about Batman: A character who has been around for 75 years, a figure in my cultural consciousness since before my memory begins. The next thing I knew, I was making a list of my favorite Batman things–the movies, the TV shows, the vividly recalled comic book story arcs and standalone issues,...

Cbr reports from Marvel’s next big thing panel at the San Diego Comic-Con 2014, the company announced a new ongoing series called S.H.I.E.L.D. following the adventures of TV and film’s Agent Phil Coulson, set in-continuity in the Marvel Universe. Mark Waid will write the series with art by a rotating roster of artiest that include Carlos Pacheco, Alan Davis, and Chris Sprouse. Doing cover art for the first issue, which will be released in December of this year, is Mike Deodato. Newsarama reports that Waid had this to say: “This is Shield the TV show, but with an unlimited budget,” Waid continued, “The structure of the series is done-in-one. Coulson and his team have a mission, and if we need someone for a mission, everyone in the Marvel Universe is available as a potential Agent.”

The line between the comics and movie universes continues to blur as Marvel have announced today a new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series from Mark Waid and a team of revolving artists including Carlos Pacheco, Alan Davis, and Chris Sprouse. It will introduce characters from the TV show to the Marvel Universe, and Agent Coulson is set to have a lead role. "He is the coolest Marvel Comics fan ever. E-v-e-r," Waid said of Clark Gregg, the actor who currently plays the character on TV. "He’s amazing at his job, he’s badass, he’s funny—and he loves the history of the Marvel Universe as much as I do." The format of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. won't be too different to the recent Moon Knight series, with a run off one-off stories. Each will seemingly feature an appearance from a well-known Marvel superhero though. "Done-in-one stories are more challenging,...

This is the time of year when the ComicMix crew starts to firm up our attendance at various comic conventions in the year ahead. It’s a frustrating process because there are a lot of shows and we can’t go to all the ones we’d like to attend.
It also makes me really angry.
Last year was the first in a long time that I went to a bunch of cons. It was fascinating and fun most of the time, but annoying at others. Twenty years after we started Friends of Lulu, there are still remarkably few women invited to be guests at the shows.
This is odd, because there are a lot of women working in the industry, and (capitalists take note) even more buying comics and tickets to cons. Wouldn’t show organizers like to demonstrate to this market segment that they are welcome and valued?...

Written by Alan Moore (a.k.a. The Original Writer)

Colored by Steve Oliff

Using a Captain Marvel wannabe (the old Fawcett Captain Marvel, not the Marvel Captain Marvel- it’s all very confusing) from the 1950s, Moore and Leach’s 1982 revival of Miracleman (actually called Marvelman but there are whole histories written about that) began the oh-so popular trend of making our superheroes “more realistic.” Moore, a young writer at that time, brought the superhero into the real world of nuclear terrorists and troubled marriages. In Miracleman #1, a reporter named Mike Moran dreams of outer space and colorfully clad men and boys flying out among the stars.

Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore's British superhero is making a comeback! Here's everything you need to know about Miracleman...
At the weekend's New York Comic-Con, Marvel pulled a huge and unexpected announcement out of their hats, with the news that starting in January 2014, they're going to be bringing back into print – and publishing the previously unseen conclusion of – Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman's 1980s masterpiece Miracleman (aka Marvelman).
The news wasn't entirely out of the blue – ever since Marvel announced in 2009 that they had obtained the rights to publish the character, there's been hope among fans that the tangled mess of rights might be sorted out and the series would return – but the timing was certainly a surprise. Marvel have made a number of other major announcements at Nycc – many of them teased in advance – but things have been so quiet on...

As I write this, The Avengers 2 rumour of the week is that Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner in the first movie, is going to be recast – and I couldn’t be happier. Renner was such a flatliner in the Avengers movie that replacing him with someone who has charisma and presence is essential, especially now that Matt Fraction’s reinvention of the character has established Hawkeye as charming, funny and likeable, and brought him to readers’ attentions as a major character in his own right.
Hawkeye, for those who don’t know, is Clint Barton, a member of the Avengers, whose power is that he’s very good with a bow and arrow, and that he uses a range of trick arrows to accomplish various tasks. He’s also skilled at martial arts but, like Black Widow, is essentially an Avengers team member who looks like an ordinary guy...

There were several shocking reveals in Marvel X-Men’s panel as well as some general news about upcoming storylines in books from Uncanny Avengers to Deadpool. After talking about the resurrection of Sentry, Grim Reaper, Daken, and Banshee as Horsemen of Death in Uncanny Avengers, writer Rick Remender said he brought these characters back because of their personal connections with the Uncanny Avengers lineup. (Sentry/Thor, Grim Reaper/Rogue, Daken/Wolverine, Banshee/Havok) X-Men editor Jordan White revealed the cover of Uncanny X-Men by artist Chris Bachalo with Magneto strangling Cyclops bringing up the question of what side Magneto is really on. Ramon Perez said that Wolverine and the X-Men 29 will be his last issue on pencils, but his final issue will show the Jean Grey School 50 years in the future with new characters and new takes on old characters.

Wolverine has come to rely on his healing factor, but it's set to be taken from him in a story arc by writer Paul Cornell and artist Alan Davis starting in this July's Wolverine #8. Talking to Comic Book Resources, here's what Cornell had to say about finally making the iconic Marvel character, "Killable". Could this be the beginning of the end for Wolverine? It was rumoured not too long ago that Marvel were thinking of killing him off, although this storyline more than likely is designed just to reflect what is happening in James Mangold's The Wolverine! What do you guys think? On How Exactly Wolverine Loses His Healing Factor: Unfortunately I can't answer that question without spoiling the end of "Drowning Logan" and the issues that comes after it. All I can say is that when this arc begins, Wolverine is killable, hence the title of the arc.

Marvel Comics has announced a new Wolverine title. Writer Paul Cornell and veteran artist Alan Davis have been confirmed for the new Marvel Now! title. The series, which will launch in March, was previously teased with the word "Snikt". "This is the series that gets into what makes James Logan tick, that shows him being, as he puts it, 'a regular guy', interacting with civilian friends of his in New York City," Cornell told Marvel.com. "The most amazing thing about James is that he's been alive so long, gone through so many extraordinary (more)...

Marvel Comics has confirmed a new Wolverine title is in the works after releasing the mysterious “Snikt” title-card teaser earlier last week. The upcoming series will feature the writing of Paul Cornell and artwork from Alan Davis and will be released under the new Marvel Now! banner. Man fans believed that that last week’s one-word teaser image might have been hinting at a new X-23 title or perhaps a new series featuring Daken. Instead, Marvel has decided to move forward on a second Marvel Now! series to feature Wolverine, joining Frank Cho’s “Savage Wolverine” series which launches in January.
Cornell, who marks his return to writing for Marvel with “Wolverine” #1, has high hopes that the series will remind fans of the ‘down-to-earth’ side of Logan and not so much his berserker persona that we’ve all come to know (and love).

iFanboy have confirmed that next March will see the release of Wolverine #1 from the creative team of writer Paul Cornell (Captain Britain and Mi:13) and artist Alan Davis (Fantastic Four). "I think it’s actually quite strange that he’s this normal, down to earth guy who likes to have a beer, someone you’d trust to run a school, when he’s been alive so long, had so much happen to him, be, actually, such a weird being," Cornell tells the site. "I think he values that normality highly, that he fights for it. So this is the action series title where we meet him in his New York context, with many non-super hero friends (like Claremont always had the X-Men know), part of a community of professionals, a very civilized man of violence who’d prefer to be a man of peace."

Marvel Comics has teased a second Wolverine title. Writer Paul Cornell and veteran artist Alan Davis will apparently tackle the Marvel Now! title, which was teased with the word "snikt".

Marvel has released a brand new title-card teaser for an upcoming Marvel Now! series, featuring the talents of writer Paul Cornell and (could it be?) Alan Davis? If so, this is a winning combination of talent and given the “Snikt” tagline on the promo, there may be a good chance that Wolverine is in the running. Personally, we question the direction of Marvel if this is indeed another Wolverine series as the character does have a tendency to over-saturate the market. Now give us a new X-23 title and We’Re Sold!
Regardless, we still don’t have much to go on and with the creative team at hand, we’re still super excited to see what’s in store!
