Miracleman #2

Miracleman Book Two: The Red King Syndrome collects a rich chapter in this hero's saga, and the 2014 Marvel hardcover edition presents it in handsome form. Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's cover does the collection proud — Miracleman himself soars forward in his distinctive blue-and-gold costume, surrounded by a montage of intense faces, a lurking crocodile, a skull, and other unsettling figures that hint at the complex, sometimes dark world he inhabits. It's a confident, well-crafted package for readers looking to experience one of superhero comics' more thoughtful corners.
