Book 4, Neil Gaiman's first issues, is terriable. His run doesn't start to pick up until #24. But all of this is just my thoughts on Miracleman. I know other people love this series.

I actually think the original few issues of Miracleman strongly needed recolouring, as I felt the Eclipse issues were wayyyyy too dark and muddy looking.

If it's meant to be a comic-in-a-comic, it's great!And I'm assuming that this is part of the finished product, as Cory would just send working files for previews, not print them out on a press, rescan them, and then send them. ;P

This effect happens when a dot-pattern is scanned at too low a resolution, photocopied from a copy, and/or a digital file is resized at a lower resolution. This is probably just on the JPGs here, unless these pages had to be scanned from the comics instead of the original art. It's possible to digitally erase and replace the grayscale tones without affecting the line art - I had this done on manga retouch back in the day, before Tokyopop's cheap/half-assed production became the standard - but as I'm sure you know it can be a real pain!The MM Book 1 HC/TPB had better coloring/reproduction similar to what's been done on these new pages, but not this good!
