So, 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.

Impossible you say? Not for the sensational star of our show! )

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!

Highlights of Scott and Barda's Misadventures )

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.

So. The Flash #164-169, the "Wonderland" storyarc...



... has nothing to do with this panel. XD

Ahem. So, the story begins with Wally being arrested. And goes downhill from there real, real quick. With the help of Captain Cold and the Mirror Master, he eventually makes it out of the crazy mess he's landed in this time. My Rogues love is running very high.

This is the story where Wally really learned to appreciate the Rogues; it's also littered with really dark imagery and dead mentors coming back to haunt. And I really love the way Len's costume and cold gun are drawn in this.

In the time-honoured tradition of Wally in chains... )

I know it's a little redundant to say at this point, but I really love Flash comics.
