One Magic Wish

This was a great read, I went into this story hoping it would be reminiscent of Captain Marvel. The story reads like a new take on CM3 (Captain Marvel Jr.), it’s a good story I can see Miller taking inspiration from Classic C.C. Beck stories and making them current and fresh. The story is about Simon Pooni, former star High School basketball player stricken with MS. All his friends have abandoned him after his disease showed up except his friend Chris. Events unfold and Chris's world is turned upside down when it collides with Superior.

Sound like CM3 (Captain Marvel Jr.) to anyone else?

While it s a great read and the art is top notch by Leinil Yu, I’m gonna give it a 4 out of 5 only because the story was really short and I know with Miller it’s gonna take months between titles. It’s understandable since he’s writing something like five titles right now. Anyway if your shop was good enough to get this in I highly recommend buying it. My local shop only got in 10 copies, and when I went in at noon they had sold 2 already.

4 out of 5.

It will be at least 3 years before all 6 issues come out.

I picked it up, but have yet to read it. It looked good and Millar has so far not disappointed from the limited reading I have done from him.
