And Guns'n'Roses even released a whole new album since then!

□ [Miracleman: Silver Age #1]

Well if this isn't a sign of the end of the world, I don't know what is.  On October 19, the first issue of Miracleman since 1994 will be released.  This will be just a reprint of the final issue that came out, but a month later there will be an issue that was finished but never-published.  The month after that will have literally new comics by Gaiman and Buckingham.

My understanding is that they had never bothered to start a new issue until they had been paid for the previous one, which grew later and later as Eclipse Comics fell apart.  I have to admit, I've wondered for years why Gaiman didn't just finish the series, even if it wouldn't be published until the problems were fixed.  Maybe not right away but when he became rich and famous, he'd have the free time.  Marvel made its first statements just as Fables ended so Mark Buckingham would be available.

Whether it was Marvel or some other company just pay them to finish the comic and work out the problems later.  At worst, you can change a few names and costume details and still have a brand-new Neil Gaiman comic.  There may be some incomprehensible legal reason for it, but I can't imagine some rich fanboy wouldn't have jumped on the chance.

Now I have to find my issues because this needs to be noted.  The world has changed since the last issue of Miracleman and not for the better.
