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!

More Awesome legos

So, a while back I shared my Supreme Legos and then my Youngblood Legos. Well, for a while there, it became kind of an addiction and I went a little crazy.

So here are some friends and foes of Supreme:

The Villains who break out in Supreme #56

The Televillain. His antenna still doesn't look quite right.
  
Optilux
  
Slaver Ant. Her color isn't really purple enough,
but the antenna only came in dark red or green.
  
Shadow Supreme
  
Vor-Em
  
Vice President Vor-Em taking orders from President Korgo
  
Korgo
  
Diana Dane with her ridiculous flower vest and Supreme comic from Supreme 53
  
Judy Jordan from Supreme 54
  
Classic Professor Night and girl-marvel Twilight
 
Glory


Squeak

Szazs
Magno
Then I made the League of Infinity:

Most of the League of Infinity

Future Girl
  
Orgone Lad (his gun fires, too, though I haven't seen it break up any clouds)
 
Mata Hari
  
Giganthro
  
Siegfried
  
Witch Wench
  
Alladdin
  
Achilles

Bill Hickok

 

Since I had Bill Hickok, I decided to go ahead and do the cowboys from Judgment Day and Youngblood #4, too.

That's my daughter in the background who is upset I won't let her play with these Legos RIGHT NOW!

Nighteagle (He was a pain to make, but he came out great)
  
Kid Thunder
  
Lady Lash
  
The Brimstone Kid
I'm planning to make The Allies and the Allied Supermen eventually, along with Bad Blood from Youngblood #2 and Jack-a-Dandy. But those might be a while. And don't even ask me about the Lego Citadel! I think I might have a problem.
