So, not Marvelman or shenanigans… Add to that, it's a MAX title, Shawn Crystal is drawing the book with covers by Francesco Francavilla, I did notice that no one in[...]

Marvelman rumors were bound to start up again in the wake of last week's Neil Gaiman and Angela news And don't forget this little Kimota tidbit that we ran in January. The Angela news had hit, and people were talking about the possible return of Marvelman/Miracleman with Neil Gaiman and Buckingham at Marvel[...]
