Miracleman: The Golden Age

Summary: Scary but heavenly. But still scary. But normal. But...
Review: I have done this too much lately. I must really stop recommending things to people but I just can't help it! Okay, then, Miracleman. Where do I begin? It's... erm. Its... Okay. Imagine Superman. Only he can do ANYTHING. And imagine him making the world an infinitly better place. Only it's his vision of a better place. And this man turned into god has strange ideas. But beneficial ideas. And yet imagine this brave new world to be actually quite unnerving. Set in the 1980's Miracleman throws into the mix: The worldwide mourning of a London destroyed and a population dismembered by a super villain. The birth of a new race of people, with incredible powers and all deciding to hover around the age of six for a long time. A man's affair with a goddess. A long trek up a modern day tower of babel to ask a god for a miracle. A dozen Warholls going into mass production of t-shirts, only supervised by a god. In a giant pyramid. On top of part of the ruins of London.

As the other reviewer said, the tension is unbearable.

Miracleman is set almost entirely in modern day England and it is this that makes the book so frightening. Things are good, yes, but almosy mind bogglingly awesome. Miracles and normal people trying to live normal lives in a world no one understands anymore. Character is the focus of this book, not action, and the characters are so real that...

Oh! Just buy it!

P.S: Amazon! Get this back in print! Now!

Summary: The Fall in reverse. A boomerang into ?
Review: What do you get when you put together more than a dozenWarhols, a serenity of gods, and a child who receives, casually, theworld's greatest secret from her alien bride on her way to underspace?

Heaven.

No. Really. Heaven. And it's scary. And the tension keeps building because this sort of thing just doesn't happen, can't happen, something has to go wrong. Even if god just gave you a anti-gravity button - even if by his grace you can fly. Something has to go wrong...

Right?
