Three comics that most excite me this time around are the return of Static in a second season, Renee Montoya starring in the limited GCPD Blue Wall series, and the return of Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham’s return to finish their Miracle Man Silver Age story that ended abruptly because Eclipse Comics went bankrupt decades ago. I’m anxious to discover how Gaiman and Buckingham resolve a certain matter of tension left hanging between Kid Miracleman and Miracleman<\/a>.
