Sean bantered: I stopped reading at about issue 60, when I realised that McFarlane was a hack. He should be fined an extra few thousand for the movie.
Those two statements are related, you understand; it was just about around #60 that the movie came out, and I think a bunch of us who'd been sticking around for a while out of habit suddenly looked at that piece of crap and realized, Oh, shit, he really has absolutely no vision here, does he? Bam, dropped it like a hot potato, and never went back.
(On the other hand, the animated series was considerably more inspired, but showed up its source material in that it was, by and large, more hardcore than the book had ever been, perhaps because it ripped off Sin City right and left.)
Mario intoned: Um, Vlad...the lawsuit with Neil had nothing to do with Miracleman.
Are you sure? Maybe not THAT particular suit, but surely another. Toddy had the rights to Miracleman, but now Neil does (and we're all still waiting for him to actually, y'know, DO something with them). Were those rights simply one of the ways in which Todd was trying to pay off his debt to Neil? Legalities had to have been involved, even if not simultaneously.
