Welcome

So a long time ago (the mid-1990s), the greatest writer in comics agreed to take over the writing duties for Image Comics' Supreme. He would radically reshape the character, the book, and due to forces beyond his control, a whole comic book universe. And it led to an award-winning run of comics, three additional titles (among several proposed) and ultimately led to the genesis of Moore's much better known America's Best Comics. And then it all went out of print and was forgotten by way too many.

Having gathered quite a bit of information about Moore's Supreme and Awesome runs, I decided to create a home for the forgotten Awesome. Over the course of a year, I put it all together here.

Each week I did a main "Weekly Reading" post that was a read-through of that issue. I followed that up with a couple of other posts about topics from that Weekly Reading or whatever else I came up with to talk about. You'll find the lost Youngbloods in the Youngblood section and the fan-edit of the last Supreme in After Awesome.

Below is the archive of posts broken up by book. Thanks for checking the site out!

1963 #2

By Derek Mont-Ros

Today, we take a look at 1963's version of Spider-Man.....AND Daredevil? You'll see. 


The story starts off with The Fury helping out 1963's Nick Fury, Sky Solo, with the same mysterious package seen in issue #1. She asks Fury to deliver the package to her colleagues in L.A.S.E.R. 

 

After getting ambushed and taking down a terrorist organization attempting to steal the package, Fury is shocked when he is confronted and attacked by his Arch Nemesis, THE VOIDOID!

 


Fury takes him as a joke at first. That is until the Voidoid reveals that he has a a targeting system and an enhanced V.R set that allows him to predict the Fury's moves!


Meanwhile back at L.A.S.E.R headquarters, the creature, being described as a monstrous prehistoric creature with what seems to be a tumor (which claims to have killed the dinosaurs), escapes.

 

The Fury manages to beat Voidoid's VR, but is overpowered anyways. That is until the big reveal of...The Warbeast!!!


 
Voidoid fleas, leaving Fury alone with the monster. Hope seems lost until Sky Solo and L.A.S.E.R show up to fight.


It's then that Fury calls his mom to reveal his backstory to the reader. Ricky Judge, college student, was the sidekick and son of the original Fightin' Fury in WW2. That was until he was killed in front of Ricky. From that day, he vowed to keep his dad's wish and apprehend criminals despite how monstrous the crime.


After defeating the beast, L.AS.E.R takes it into custody. The Fury then devides to have two micro phisicists, Dr. Kent Kane and Dr. Mason (who we will see again later *wink*), examine the tech. Ricky then goes home and remembers his dad's teachings.
  
 
Then we get two pin-ups.

Well I hope you enjoyed issue #2! Stay tuned for part 1 of 1963 #3!
