Young Men in Love Vol. 2 New Romance

The Miracles #1 shows some potential and impressive art

The Miracles #1

High School Senior Elliot Morgan has been obsessed with super-hero comics all his life, especially Major Voltage Adventures, a comic that suddenly ended the year he was born. A family secret unravels just as he’s suddenly getting super-powers! The Miracles #1 is an intriguing debut that goes in unexpected directions.

Written by Joe Glass, The Miracles #1 is a debut that treads familiar territory but puts it all together in a way that feels very “pop culture” with a dose of meta. Elliot Morgan loves superhero comics and discovers he himself has superpowers?

How did he get them? What can he did?

The Miracles #1 is impressive in that the oversized issue answers all those questions and more taking an origin and compressing it in an oversized issue. It takes us through everything we need to know and gets to the point while also setting up the conflict and villain to come.

Glass and the team have done the opposite of what so many comics are today and delivers a comic that doesn’t stretch things out. In doing so, The Miracles #1 is very satisfying read where you get a good feel of where everything stands by the end of the comic. Decompression is the norm aiming for arcs over 5 issues, this does it in 1.

The characters are interesting and reveals intriguing. What stands out as a negative is there doesn’t feel like enough “surprise” or “anger” about the reveals. It’s just kind of taken like it all isn’t weird, especially when you think about what is revealed to Elliot.

The art by Vince Underwood is good. With color by Harry Saxon and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, overall, the look is good. Where there’s some back and forth on my opinion is that there’s also some amazing and great. A two-page spread for example is jaw dropping but other pages or panels, the characters look a little off. You can see some greatness in Underwood’s art though. Saxon’s coloring too shines in spots. The lettering also extends the inconsistency but not sure if it’s on purpose. There’s parts where text bleeds out of the bubble or is behind an object. I’d think this is on purpose but I don’t really know for sure. It could be interesting with use but as is, it’s hard to tell why it is the way it is.

The Miracles #1 is a good start. There’s something there that could be really interesting. It’s not hard to read into it as a metaphor but even as, it still holds up as a story about discovering one’s self.
