It is Black History Month.

Marvel are currently republishing Miracleman, an eighties series definitely of its time. But history is being rewritten. With the infamously violent Miracleman #15, out today.

And it still seems odd that Marvel can publish a Mature Readers comic book featuring extreme images of violence, labelled ‘Mature’ and sold in a bag and are not able to use a certain word from the mouth of the embodiment of extreme evil…

…which they can sell collected in trade paperback in bookstores and in digital, a comic book labelled 12+ where a leading hero uses the same word… from Uncanny X-Men #196.

Here is the original.

Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, with a Liz Prince signing this Saturday…

And a Kieron Gillen signing the next!

Yes, folks, that is how Kieron will be spending Valentine’s Day…
