Extra Issues – Superhero Subversions, ep 4: Miracleman

Zack, Charlotte, and special guest Dave Busting continue our first miniseries on Superhero Subversions with a discussion of the Alan Moore run of Miracleman (1982). We cover all the issues in the newly released Omnibus .

Topics discussed:
– Is Alan Moore critiquing superhero comics? Taking them very seriously? Mocking them? Or a combination or the three?
– How groundbreaking was it for Moore to treat superheroes in this way?
– Who let this Dave jabroni in the recording booth?
