Maybe in 30 years lmao. At least we got some new issues.
You think they're ever gonna relaunch in general MCU
So in the backup strips, Miracleman spent a lot of time ‘researching’ old adventures (reading old MM comic books) looking for YM clues.
Now the Silver Age is over, looking back, were there any clues? Hidden hints or Easter eggs? Were these tales chosen specifically to tell us something?
Or was it really just an excuse to add cheap filler?
With Kid Miracleman as a voice in Dickie's head, I would imagine he will come back at the very least speaking through Dickie, or, as we have already seen, the technology that revived Dickie could be used to revive Johnny WITHOUT Kid Miracleman, though they could even be separated.
It would be interesting to see the Miracle family reunited outside of the Zarathustra simulated reality, especially since the Silver Age demonstrated that the three of them don't actually know each other, they know their manufactured lives and identities.
To see even their human alter egos and their super selves--all six if not all three of the original trio--all be part of the final deconstructive dialogue would be exciting, even if it would be a lot of talking and the message is over 30 years late.
Imagine: the Miracle trio in the same space, a Nietzchean superman, a Bodhisattvah superman, and a Hobbesian superman. This alone is exciting.
Imagine: if their human selves separate from them also occupied the same space since none of them are the same person anymore (except for Dickie perhaps).
I hope we don't have to wait decades or years again.
Anyone want to speculate or dissect what he was prophesying now that we see a little more of the story since Silver Age's completion and in the absence of the Dark Age?
For me: "sanity consists of musical cues"--the Ruddigore in issue 6 and Dickie's revelations.
"crimes of light" - good intentions paving the way for hell as we see something off about Miracleman's utopia, something even the Warpsmiths see.
Everyone, seeing that Marvel has been releasing each issues of Miracleman the silver age on a long irregular schedule and that they focus on their characters (the one created by Stan Lee like spider-man, avengers and more),
What if Marvel will sell the rights of miracleman to other comic book companies like Titan comics, Oni press IDW or Boom, so that they will promote and reprint old Miracleman classics faithfully and even let Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham finish off their trilogy with the dark age which instead of single issues (that marvel will never promote and let it be released) it will be a big graphic novel instead.

The moment I saw Tom Dwan (the professional poker player) I thought that is Kid Miracleman right there - he totally has the look!).
What do you all think?
(Avoid if you dont want spoilers!)
First impressions:
-shorter than I would have wanted, but thats been the way of things :/
-the general plot is what many expected for Dicky; the last page draws another character in too, but is it all in his head or is something else going on?
-DD seemed to be drawn taller than before, and is the grey suit with black tie a foreshadowing?
-Why Petra? Its ancient, sure, and beautiful. Is it because of the Burgon connection? Did DD learn of him in school, or read of Petra in Tin Tin?
-there's going to be a battle in the Dark Age. I hope we'll see it.....
G
We approach the end. Any predictions? Wishes? Retrospectives? Onward to the Dark Age!
What kind of adaptation should Miracleman and the Meracleman family get when the time comes?
It DOES NOT have to be the Alan Moore version.
A question I've wondered for over 20 years.
Given the carnage caused by Kid Miracleman in London in Issue #15 (something that traumatised me so much as a teenager I still remember it to this day), can you imagine the chaos that would be unleashed if they actually finished the series and he came back?
Kid Miracleman had about 90% of the powers I’d love to have:
A personal forcefield.
Flight.
Super strength.
Super speed.
Ability to project energy beam / electricity (if memory serves).
The ability to heal from practically anything, albeit over a long period of time.
The Warpsmiths however had the ability to teleport anything and everything.
Cloning via androids in later issues.
—— I’m trying to think what else could be thrown into the mix.
Bundle #1 should definitely involve everything related to the mind:
Bundle #2 could include complete mastery of all the elements:
Bundle 3# could involve all remaining cool powers pertaining to manipulating biology:
The only powers I think would be going too far are:
The last 2 powers I think would be going too much for any living being to possess. If they abused such powers, or even made a simple mistake, the entire universe could be messed up beyond belief.

What do you folks think?
I knew for years that, before development of the story froze, that they were planning on bringing back Kid Miracleman, ending “The golden age” and leading into “The dark age”.
It never made sense to me.
At the end of issue #15, he had a large rock embedded in his skull and a huge girder through his chest. Even in later issues you still glimpse his body in-stasis with these devastating injuries still present.
I remember thinking “there’s NO way you can ever come back after that.”
Since the story has finally started to exit its decades-long ‘development hell’, can someone please shed light on how they could possibly bring back Kid Miracleman?
I enjoyed it, obviously. No spoilers but we learned why a certain kind of contact from MM led to his reaction, and it made perfect sense.
(And it was sad to read where Dicky got his surname from)
The Coello variant cover was a little misleading :) I suppose I expected a confrontation of some kind in this issue, but now we know that will be later.
