Zack, Charlotte, and special guest Dave Busting continue our first miniseries on Superhero Subversions with a discussion of the Alan Moore run of Miracleman (1982). We cover all the issues in the newly released Omnibus.

Topics discussed:

– Is Alan Moore critiquing superhero comics? Taking them very seriously? Mocking them? Or a combination or the three?

– How groundbreaking was it for Moore to treat superheroes in this way?

– Who let this Dave jabroni in the recording booth?
