It's actually Miracleman by Alan Moore that really pisses me off.
When I first read them back in the 80's I was impressed by their edginess. I mean, fuck, I was 19.
But much later on I finally read the original golden age Captain Marvel comics, and was blown away. Those comics were a legit 20 years ahead of their time. Clean, high quality art, and storylines that impressed me as an adult. There's a continuing storyline early on where Captain Marvel is trying to stop SpySmasher, a superhero who has been brainwashed into serving as a criminal, and it's basically the perfect Superman vs Batman story.
(And I haven't even gotten to read the good stuff yet, because DC Archives pulled the plug on Shazam Archives before they could publish the Captain Marvel versus the Monster Society of Evil arc, which is apparently the first great "all of his enemies gang up on the superhero" story. Thanks, DC. )
Compared to the Golden Age originals, Miracleman just seems like a retard setting his toys on fire.
