If memory recalls, Miracleman 3D was a one-shot deal published by Eclipse a few
years back (actually several :), which includes 3(?) Marvelman reprints (which
were not originally in 3D) and a new Moore framing sequence.

So MM3D is the only Miracleman that ever was and ever will be (knock on wood)
3D, and it wasn't even new stuff (for the most part).

Crisis #8: Barry destroys the Anti-Monitor's biiiiig gun. We see Barry 
skeletonize, and his costume and ring fall to the ground.

Minorly retconned in:

Secret Origins Annual #2: Barry doesn't destroy the Anti-Monitor's gun in
time to stop it firing. The cannon fires a single tachyon (particle which
can only exist at speeds equal to or greater than the speed of light.)
which Barry must catch in order to save the Earth. As he breaks the speed
of light he leaves the corporeal plane of existence behind, and his ring
and costume fall to the ground. Barry nears the tachyon, and as he does so,
he witnesses scenes from his life, playing backwards, until he catches the
tachyon, which transforms him into a lightning bolt. Because he is travelling
backwards through time, he becomes the lightning bolt which struck Barry in
the first place.

Semi-retconned in:

Flash Annual #2 or #3: A scientist friend of Wally's theorizes that Barry
was not merely struck by lightning, but that he became the lightning bolt,
explaining why he had such control over his individual molecules.

That's what really happened. I'm not making any claims/excuses for Barry's
return, just setting the facts straight so any new theories won't be based
on false history.

I think a fair scale for this sort of tardiness is not how late a comic is,
but the product of how late it is and how many people are waiting for it (in
other words, how much anxiety it is generating :) ...so something like

	Absolute Distress  =  (#months comic is late  *  #people waiting)

Of course, there is no way to accurately quantify this here, but I'd venture
to say that the forerunners of AD are Big Numbers and Miracleman.

Probably not Mao. We're just coming up to the 100th anniversary of his

It seems most of the important players of modern China were either 
too young, too old or too middle class. No date is really set so it
might be an 18th century incident. Anyone good with Chinese history?

time.  The only thing debated is what constitutes consent,
and the debate usually centers around ever-more-convoluted
ways of interpreting "no" as "yes."

Personally,, i only buy it because theres usually one or two stories that
interest me.

It, i must admit, has been a long time since i could say all five stories in an
issue interested me (come to think of it, its been ages since 4 stories
interested me.)


Have you noticed that the big dredd stories are all killing and no real plot.

I.E. Necropolis and Judgement day.


But, at least we've got the megazine to fall back on.

Armitage is excellent, as is Al's Baby.

Dredd is good, but has the ox
ccasional crap story (and i hate john Hicklington art)

America was good, as was Young Death.

Why cant 200AD be as good???

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned everybodies favorite late title
_Big Numbers_. Remember how some people were saying that #3 was suppose
to ship around X-Mas. Uh huh....sure.

According to the inside cover #1 shipped April 1990 while #2 was shipped
in August 1990. This means we are heading for 2.5 years for this title.
Not to bad.

Also, some of Dark Horses early stuff was really late. If I recall
properly, the second Aliens series took well over a year to be
published. Also, someone already mentioned Hard Boiled, which just plain
vanished for a year.

How about the _Night Cat_ series  from Marvel. Read the Special, but I'm
still waiting for #1. WOnder what can be holding it up ;->.
