We know you're not quite sure what to believe or not today, welcome to my world every day.

So let me assure you that this is true. I understand Marvel Comics, disappointed with sales on the Miracleman republishing project have decided to relaunch the book as an All-New Marvel NOW! title. Which means a new issue 1 in July, just in time for the "birth" issue that caused such controversy on its initial publication.

As to how they will get around the issues of an All-Ages Mass Market digital version for the Marvel app, given that the comic features graphic scenes of childbirth, I am told that they will be moving all such scenes to the Marvel AR feature, common to all Marvel NOW launch titles. Much of that issue will be told in silhouette, the only way to read it is with another digital device triggering the explicit scenes that Rick Veitch drew almost thirty years ago. This is to prevent any young eyes reading the issue without parental supervision as it is understood that children are unlikely to have access to more than one digital device.

The first issue will also have the first launch issue of Doop #1 in the back half of the comic and come with the digital code for the full first volume of Marvel NOW's Morbius The Living Vampire.
