About this ebook
“The Best Superhero Story of the Summer. Mister Miracle might be one of the rawest superhero comics I’ve read in recent memory.” -GQ “One of the most mind-bending superhero comics currently on stands.” -Entertainment Weekly “Every year, one book stands up above everyone else’s. Fans and creators alike stop and stare in amazement at a couple of creators finding a new voice, new point of view and new levels of artistic expression. This year it is Mister Miracle.” -Brian Michael Bendis, author “There are master magicians performing here. Their names are Tom King and Mitch Gerads.” -Brad Meltzer, author of Identity Crisis “For those wishing that an ‘adult superhero comic’ meant more than just swearing and violence, Mister Miracle might just be the series you’ve been waiting for all along.” -Hollywood Reporter No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. But can he pull off the ultimate trick-and escape death itself? Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his wife Big Barda have made for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their homeworlds of Apokolips and New Genesis, Scott’s cruel adoptive father, Darkseid, seems to have finally found the Anti-Life Equation-the weapon that will give him total victory. As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves. Is death the trap that’s been waiting for him all along? Or is it life itself? And what price will Scott Free have to pay to learn the answer? Eisner Award winners Tom King and Mitch Gerads present a bold new vision of one of Jack Kirby’s greatest creations with Mister Miracle-powerful, intimate and utterly unique, this modern comics classic will challenge everything you know about super-heroism! Collects the entire 12-issue series.

A great multidimensional superhero story as well as a profound look at the long term consequences of childhood trauma. A jewel with multiple facets and rare depth.

This is the most boring and confusing story I've ever read and I'm a 40 year veteran of comics. It seemed aimless and disjointed. I'm not even sure I understood what was going on. I liked the characters and artwork. Just the story and script was hard work to complete and I don't feel the effort was rewarded.

This is a very emotional and tough read. I highly recommend you read this as long as you know what you are getting into. There are a lot of heavy themes and ideas. I highly recommend This Book
