Taken as a self-contained mini-series story, it really did not work though, IMO. I agree. The same with Guardian and I think it will hold true for all the minis, but I didn't really expected it to be otherwise. Taken as separate entities they are merely fun rides, it's how they connect together, the overlapping themes and overreaching arcs, that will make this 'event' magnificent. I think I missed Klarion #3. Bah.

Just read Guardian #4. It might just be more set up for the main event, but I really loved it! Jake is a really cool hero, and I hope Morrison gets to write him in an ongoing. Great stuff

I got to skim/sorta read the advance preview of MISTER MIRACLE and I've got two things to say (without giving any spoilers):
1) As mentioned earlier, I liked Jack Kirby's (and Walt Simonson's take on) New Gods/Fourth World, so I was somewhat apprehensive about it. Turns out I didn't have to worry much right now. The only thing I'm worrying a little about now is how the book will look since Ferry's not doing the rest of the mini.
2) I'm wondering how the JBF will complain about some of these things.

They will find a way. It will be stupid, it will be nonsensensical, and it will make Duncan want to go on a killing spree, but they will. Guaranteed.
Can anyone post some of the art of the new artist of Mr. Miracle?

Actually, judging from what I saw in the book, it wouldn't be surprising for them to complain about certain scenes I'm thinking of. I'm just wondering how the whole thing will unfold--what would be the first thing that sets it off? Here's his site: www.billydallaspatton.com/

But they'll add to the discussion there about what's acceptable... ...Also, I just went and looked at the solicitation for MISTER MIRACLE #2, which might have confirmed the identities of some characters in #1 for me, and let's just say.... ...well... ...It's possible they'll complain about it like when DAREDEVIL cast Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin, or Jessica Alba and Kerry Washington's roles in FANTASTIC FOUR. And I'm not talking about Shiloh Norman as Mister Miracle.

You're meaning Orion as a boxer (Mo Colley?) and a change to Darkseid, yeah?

Art and cover by Pasqual Ferry Grant Morrison's amazing SEVEN SOLDIERS saga continues with a 4-part miniseries featuring art by Pasqual Ferry (ADAM STRANGE)! A young Shiloh Norman is all grown up, and now, with the help of his Mother Box - an alien computer - he has become the world's coolest escape artist, a cross between David Blaine and Puff Daddy. After a hallucinatory encounter with the being called Metron, the formerly aimless and dissatisfied Mister Miracle finds himself with a new mission in life. He now believes he has evidence of an apocalyptic cosmic war being fought through human agents on Earth! Shiloh's seen the light. He knows the score - and he may have lost his mind! 1 of 4 32 pg, FC 2.99-SHARK DIGGLER

I see what you're on about Spider, having just read it.
That said, the New Gods taking on more human aspects for interaction on Earth (sorta like how the Black Racer was summoned, or used to be), I like it.
If the Dark Side won the Apocalypse then it makes sense that Orion for example would be a broken-down boxer, like we've heard. Very interested in seeing Darkseid show up and what aspects he's taking on. This really had that 'Rock of Ages' feel to it at the end, when Flash and Kyle arrive at the future Darkseid's conquered, everyone's beaten. Then the story got cranked up another a few notches. ;D Looks like the same'll happen with this too.

Having characters like Granny Goodness and the Black Racer taking on human aspects and different looks kind of reminds me of Morrison's doing that "summoning Gods" thing for some reason.

Oh, I know about the Willie Walker thing and all, I'm referring to the fact that in MISTER MIRACLE #1 he doesn't look like a guy with skis.

This really sucks that Ferry is only doing this issue. The artwork was beautiful.
Not really familiar with the New Gods, so a lot of this went over my head, but enjoyable, nonetheless.

So does anybody think that Shilo's friend/manager and his psychiatrist might be other characters?
