MM is certainly thin in the ideas-per-page ratio - compared to the other series. I mean, death cars are much more boring than subway pirates and there's still no cross references with the other titles.
but remember what we said mostly about all the other 7S first couple of issues? "nothing to do with the Sheeda plot, not interesting" etc. and then... bang.
from the MM's Wikipedia entry:
Shilo Norman (Mister Miracle III) was the brother of a policeman killed by a gang leader. Scott Free was assigned to protect him, and continued to train Shilo with his own special escape artist techniques as well as giving him New Genesis technology.
Shilo worked for a time as head of security at the Slab, a prison for metahumans. He was involved in the events of Joker's Last Laugh, which resulted in the Slab being relocated to Antarctica.
Shilo has since been seen as a very successful and lucrative escape artist, using the name Mister Miracle. He became famous for large-scale televised stunts, including well-publicized escapes from the second dimension, the center of the earth, and inside the event horizon of a miniature black hole, stunts which enabled him to live a lavish celebrity lifestyle. He still posesses a Mother Box, but seems to have no memory of the New Gods. The reason for this is not yet clear.
in #4, Shilo will escape the Reality Trap in a box. it's in the solicitation. ultimate Gnosis, Neo or Jesus-Dafoe style. maybe he'll swallow a blue pill. or a red one, can't remember that shit. the crucification already happened. |
