Episode 70: Mister Miracle #1 (2017) by Tom King and Mitch Gerads

 In today's episode we dig into the lore of a character who has been on our radar for a while. Mister Miracle. We've covered Tom King before when we read Vision, so we knew we were in for a treat. This series deals a lot with the "New Gods", created by Jack Kirby. We will give a little background before we begin, but the more you know about them the better! 



Mister Miracle, or Scott Free, is an escape artist (just like young Drew). He's escaped from all sorts of traps before. As the story begins it seems he's recovering from an escape that was rather rocky. 

It's important to mention that this comic can be rather graphic, 
both in content and in the artist depiction of those events. 
If you or a loved one have any history or concern over the mention of suicide, 
this might be a comic series you will want to be careful with.

Drew's Gut Reaction Comic Book Rankings

So here at the 2 Man Comic Book Club, we've released 100+ podcasts about comic books, superheroes, space fights, superpowers, tv shows, and time travel. I still can't believe it! As I've worked my way through more and more comics, I've started wondering how they all stack up.  What follows is by no means a detailed examination of each comic where I weigh their merits against each other. It's exactly what the title claims... a Gut Reaction Ranking . All I did to make this list was start with the first comic we covered on the show "X:Men - The Worst X-Man Ever" and put it at the top of the list. I moved onto the next one, "Superman: Secret Identity" and put it beneath Worst X-Man, because I liked the X-Men story more. (Can you believe that? Coming from me? A self proclaimed Superman fanboy for life!!??)  I then worked through the rest of the stories we covered on the show, comparing it to the list as it stood and placing the new story where I felt
