Watchmen by Alan Moore (artturnerjr)
artturnerjr: Both deconstructionist superhero tales by Alan Moore. WATCHMEN is the more formally masterful work; MIRACLEMAN, the more emotionally devastating one.

Chronicle [2012 film] by Josh Trank (artturnerjr)
artturnerjr: The climactic scene of CHRONICLE is remarkably similar to the one in Moore and Totleben's earlier graphic novel.

Reading this third volume of Miracleman felt like taking my brain through a bizarre jungle-gym of ideas. The mental gymnastics Moore must have is truly remarkable. It's a book you take some time with, the concepts and poetry of the language overwhelming in scope and detail. A remarkable feat of comic writing and artistry. (

A spectacular book - it's a real shame it's no longer available.

I'm not sure if it would be super popular as a reprint. I absolutely loved it, but the purple prose and the way-way-larger-than-life themes might put off audiences looking for action or easy hooks. This is vintage Moore poetry instead, a wonderful exploration of how far he can go and what you think he'd never do. (
