Doctor Mirage #3 Discussion

[leonmallett]

I thoroughly enjoyed #3, and have done the series so far. Pitching it as a mini series may have hurt its sales out of the gate, which to me seems such a shame for such a well-crafted tale.

This is great stuff, and I hope VEI make more of an effort with Dr. Mirage going forward.

I'm totally not understanding why this isn't an ongoing. I want this book forever. Cancel half the line if you have to.

This is MY kind of book! Art is phenomenal. Story is better than anything I've read in quite some time.

Please Dino, Warren, whoever: don't let Jan van Meter go and make sure this book goes past the miniseries. Please!

Totally agreed with the points above.

....except about cancelling half the line...

I think Van Meter has done a great job of portraying these characters - their behaviors ring true to their motivations. All of them seem human as opposed to contrived personalities for a story. Great work.

+1 - Well said.

Another stellar issue. Powerful character moments yet again with the story of their 'deaths'. I love the continued haunting richness & complexity to the characters & environment of the spirit world, and the detail in the adherence to the supernatural rules that must be followed or broken to achieve a set goal.

Add my name to the list of people who want to see this creative team tackle Shadowman!

I think this team could be a great fit for Shadowman. But if given a choice, I would want to see more Doctor Mirage from them.

That said, if Shadowman had a rebuilding of the damage done to the IP in character development terms from 13-16 and End Times 1-3, I think Van Meter could be the ideal writer to salvage the good from the wreckage.
