shankieSo, I recently went off about how Mister Miracle volume one was so much better than volume two. I mean, it was freakin' Kirby, right? That wasn't entirely fair; it was definitely a spin-off of Justice League International, was actually promoted that way, and even would share writers, artists, and the same gags. Like G'nort. Heh.
I haven't done this sort of thing in a while, so, with no further ado, a Mister Miracle scan extravanganza!
Starting off with Justice League International: Special #1, the League goes to the Madison Square Garden to see our favourite escape artist escape from things, and sell soap.
Yeah, he sold soap for a while. Miracle Mister soap. They loved it on Apokolips, until Darkseid made everybody dirty again.
At this point, the series begins; Scott is actually a robot, although they don't actually, you know, do much with that... mostly it's just a way to have both Scott having adventures in space and Scott having misadventures on Earth.
See what Scott wears under the costume! What does Barda have in all those boxes? Who thinks Scott's cute when he's angry? Plus, Booster and Beetle in a tangled pile on the floor!
Uh, yeah. The guy in the top hat? Is Highfather. He likes singing "Putting on the Ritz" a lot, too. Crazy gods and their... craziness.
I love that Barda doesn't even hesitate to answer the door with her half-naked husband slung over her shoulder.
And who is at the door that has them worked up? Scott's agent, of course, the Funky Flashman, who's sense of style hasn't gotten any better since Mister Miracle volume one. And is a little more, uh, not straight.
And my favourite fictional carny midget rejoins our household of chaos.
Yes, that is Mogo. Who doesn't socialize, but does like Lobo's pet space dolphins.
And, for another display of the fortitude of Scott's balls, Granny Goodness has been ordered to kill Scott, lifting Darkseid's order that he be left alone because he'd earned his freedom. She's captured him; and he escapes, of course, and goes straight for her. When she threatens to kill him, what does he do then? He takes off his uniform, and tells her that if he can't be free of being pursued, she might as well just kill him.
::is so in love::
She can't, and Darkseid totally calls her on it later. XD
So Scott returns home, after his supposed death and his lovely funeral, to find his house is a wreck and his wife is in jail for destroying a warehouse. She thought it was to help prevent cruelty to animals, and is rather unhappy to discover she's been duped.
The guys in the treehouse are Andy and Wally, a couple of kids who live next door to the Frees and enjoy spying on them. Heh.
And, now finding themselves in crazy financial trouble and surrounded by angry neighbours, the three move to Manhattan to again try and find the normal life they've been seeking out.
They never do, of course.
The guy in the last panel, with the $2.75? Shilo Norman. At this point, he begins training to replace Scott as Mister Miracle, with his own suit integrated with what New Genesis tech he has.
This leads to Mother Box being very grumpy, but they sort it out.
