A review by noveladdiction
A Dream of Flying by Alan Moore, Alan Davis, Garry Leach
3.0
So mine is probably an unpopular opinion. I thought this graphic novel was "okay." I think the story was good, I think Miracleman is a great character, and I love his history/back story. What I disliked is this graphic novel.
We get several regular issues - great. And that in some point around the middle, we get a page with some art on it, and three small paragraphs saying "This guy is this, he does this. This guy does this stuff." And then we get an issue featuring those people. Clearly, something is missing in between the issue we last saw, and this new one. And then at the end, there is an issue that doesn't feature Miracleman at all, and feels out of place.
Finally, there are 20-ish pages in the graphic novel that are just filled with art or cover art.
I have heard Miracleman hyped up so much that when I finally read this re-released graphic novel, I was stunned by how... slightly more than mediocre it felt. I will read more, when more is released... but this isn't something I will be pre-ordering and anxiously anticipating its arrival.
