First, word from Marvel about the upcoming Miracleman reprint series. After this, a few words from me, then some of the art that'll be gracing the pages.
Sounds great! I, for one, am glad Marvel Masterworks editor Cory Sedlmeier and his team heading bringing the same care and attention to Miracleman that do on the Masterworks. It's been a long slog getting this project back in print and thank God there's a someone like Cory working it into the shape it deserves. The guy hasn't accepted less on this project, and I hope he survives the experience! I dare say, there are going to be more eyeballs on this reprint project than arguably any reprint Marvel has done in a long time, arguably ever. Lots of folks who haven't seen Marvel as relevant are going to be drawn to this project, and it's nice to see the "A Game" is being brought. I think this art looks outstanding. I have most of the original Miracleman comics and these pages blow them away. It's not just the recoloring, but the crisp detail to the art, the new lettering. Cory's hunt for the original art has really paid off, as has his insistence on quality control that has brought Garry Leach, the original artist, into the mix on restoration. Cory has involved Garry in the art restoration, consulting and reviewing the process being carried out with the usual high-standard efforts of Mike Kelleher, who we all know and love from his Masterworks and Omnibus work. Maybe when Cory can get the tiniest bit of breathing room in his schedule he can share some of the background on this undertaking. It's pretty impressive.

The Wait is Over! Your First Look at the Remastered MIRACLEMAN #1!
The series that changed comics forever finally returns in 2014, and Marvel is proud to present your first look at the remastered MIRACLEMAN #1! Long out-of-print, these timeless, groundbreaking stories injected a new sophistication into the super hero genre still felt today.
“When these stories were originally colored, the artists were never consulted – and it shows” said Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. “The coloring methods used at the time really hurt the finished product. But through close collaboration with all the artists, we’re proud to now present these stories in a manner that matches their creative vision.”
Working in closely with the original series artists, MIRACLEMAN has been remastered using the original artwork in every instance possible – and the most advanced restoration methods available applied to ensure the most authentic reading experience based on the artists’ original visions for the series.
“You’ve never really seen Miracleman, until you’ve seen this Miracleman,” said legendary Miracleman artist Garry Leach.“I’m positive this will rapidly be recognized as the all-time, definitive, Miracleman series. It’s simply looking that ridiculously sharp!”
In addition to material originally published in Warrior Magazine, MIRACLEMAN #1 also includes character designs, pencil sketches, original art, an article chronicling the history of Marvelman/Miracleman, an interview with Miracleman creator Mick Anglo, as well as a Mick Anglo’s first Marvelman stories.
