Supreme issue 8 was published in December 1993. Ripley provides the story. Kurt Hathaway does the story, scripting, lettering and editing. Shawn McManus does the pencils and the inks.
This is such an aggravating issue. Basically, Thor was fooled into working for Hitler during WWII. He learned of his error and after some kind of delay, is now back to do it. In fact, that's what he tells Supreme.
Not understanding what Thor tells him explicitly, Supreme decides to just fight Thor.
Ugh.
Meanwhile Max has convinced her editors to let her do a live interview with Supreme. The only problem, she doesn't know how to get ahold of Supreme to agree to it.
The long-forgotten subplot of the serial killer Grizlock continues with him returning to his secret lab. And he immediately starts shouting at the top of his lungs. Why?
Because it's EXTREME!
The fight between Supreme and Thor continues. And despite Thor explaining exactly why he's there...
...Supreme is like, "Is it possible he doesn't realize--" that Hitler is dead.
This is so stupid.
Also stupid, the fight is going to continue on for a third issue. yay
Interestingly enough, Shawn McManus, who handles the art here, illustrated two of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing issues and, later, with his daughter Leah Moore on Wildstorm's Wild Girl. He also worked on Sandman and a number of other good series. He's definitely better than what he got to work with in Supreme.
