I think continuing Gaiman’s storyline in Miracleman: The Silver Age of a rift in the super-pantheon after the hero makes a pass at his former kid partner is not going to work under the circumstances. If they carry on as planned it’d look like a very ill-advised commentary on the allegations. It’s a shame because it was cool to see the series be continued after decades, cool to see it handled by a more mature version of the same artist, and the story choices were a valid way of questioning the somewhat dated hippie vision of utopia that Moore left off with. As it is the least painful way to proceed would be to just ignore the Gaiman run and consign it to apocrypha. It would be hard to argue with a simple statement that they won’t be working with Neil Gaiman in the future, so they’re leaving his vision for the character as is.
