A three-year hiatus followed, with Marvel Senior Vice President of Publishing Tom Brevoort assuring fans that it would be published as "soon as everything is ready". [73] Quesada would attribute the delay to wanting to "do it right", including acquiring original artwork and high-quality Photostats for restoration. Others have noted other potential factors, including ongoing uncertainty over who owned the 'Miracleman trademark (speculated to have actually been owned by McFarlane) and negotiations with Moore over the permission Marvel needed to reprint his work. [39] By 2012 Marvel had secured the 'Miracleman' trademark [74] and at New York Comic Con 2013 announced the reprints and eventual continuation would use this name, contrary to previous proclamations. [75] [76] [22] Marvel opted to title the revival material 'Miracleman', while retaining 'Marvelman' for potential future use. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Quesada said this was because it "was the coolest name" and was the name Marvel staff used when discussing the character. [77]

The legal snarl that kept Miracleman out of print for 20 years is sufficiently complicated to fill an entire book— Poisoned Chalice, by Pádraig Ó Méalóid—but suffice it to say that Marvel, which now holds the rights to one of Moore’s most influential early works, has spent years reissuing the comics monthly, then as a collection of hardcovers—both eye-wateringly expensive—and is only now, for the first time since the series’ completion in December 1989, collecting it as a single volume as the Miracleman Omnibus. Moore has had his name removed, but his voice is unmistakable. a b c Khoury, George (2010). "The Man Behind Miracleman". Kimota! The Miracleman Companion. TwoMorrows Publishing. ISBN 9781605490274.

Reviewing Moore's whole run for Slate, Sam Thielman praised the series, noting "It’s remarkable how powerful the book remains in spite of its occasional unevenness" [120] Gaiman's material also received praise; Oliver Sava was positive when reviewing the collected edition for The A.V. Club, calling it "a satisfying experience discovering a more intimate, unconventional side of the superhero genre."

But what I’m saying is, these are basically the Alan Moore Thematic Greatest Hits, and he’s firing on all cylinders with them here. I really loved reading about 90% of this. His attentiveness to the characters and world is on point and feels very similar to his approach to Swamp Thing, which he would begin writing shortly after this with some of the same artists. The series grows and morphs as it continues, at first reading as a fairly straightforward but above-average superhero comic, before turning into a treatise on the human reliance on the divine. He and Miraclewoman reshape the world into a utopia. All the practical ills of human society are cured, and the offer of superhuman powers and children is gradually taken up by a humanity who regard the Miracleman Family as gods. The pantheon of new gods build Olympus, a huge temple in the ruins of Central London where they are worshipped by human acolytes. Despite having created a utopia, Miracleman is haunted by Liz’s accusation that he has lost touch with his humanity. McFarlane Responds to Marvelman News". Comic Book Resources. 6 August 2009 .
