Well the whole thing was for a long time no one knew who legally owned the character. Because it was Mick Anglo all along I think people (myself included) figured anything not written by him shouldn’t have been allowed in the first place thus no one could claim rights seeing as essentially Alan Moore and and Neil Gaiman’s runs were technically bootlegs. Add in the fact that Marvelman himself was originally a bootleg and you have to enjoy it all.

Maybe he’ll be the new Phoenix host!

Is this surprising? Did anyone think that by buying the rights to the original Marvelman character, that they would somehow magically acquire the legendarily-tangled rights to the Moore/Gaiman run (most of which was published as “Miracleman” anyway)?

Well logic would tell us that Marvel bought the property to make money. And they know the real money with it is indeed the Moore reprint and finish off Gaiman. And since they haven’t released anything yet seems to mean that either the legal mess behind the property is a lot messier than then they thought and so is taking this extra time. Or they have already been working on it but because of the star creators involved are waiting until a good portion is done before announcing it. They know announcing it and then not being able to deliver would be a PR nightmare.

is there a definitive collection that starts from the very beginning to the last issue? One that’s affordable of course

On his website, Neil Gaiman has an FAQ page filled with information, but there’s nothing about Marvelman, not even what happened in the past with his involvement. I have to think that would rank at the top of .his most FAQs, but there’s nothing, not even an explanation for why there’s nothing. Ordinarily Neil will answer emails sent to him, but when I sent him an email a few months ago asking about Marvelman and why there is nothing about it on his FAQ page, I received no reply.

I’m sure the sales figures on the non-Moore/Gaiman reprint series they issued indicated what everyone already knew: no one gives a fuck about Marvelman when not written by Moore/Gaiman.

i was certain way before i saw Iron Fist reading marvelman comic in Defenders that Matt Fraction would be writing this comic for marvel. please let that happen with Gabriel Ba on art. though saying Gabriel leads to me to also think Gabriel Hardmen would be just as good a fit. this and Chris Claremont on Harbingers are my comics predictions for the years 2012.
