For years now, I've been meaning to read the 40+ issues of Supreme before Alan Moore took the series over. As I just found them while cleaning out my closet, I've decided to read them all to see what Moore took and adapted for his run.
So I'll be doing short little snapshots of each issue as I read them. You're welcome to read along and add your thoughts or you're welcome to ignore this endeavor entirely as a way to maintain your good taste and sanity.
Let's start with Supreme 1, which came out in November 1992:
This issue was written by Rob Liefeld and Brian Murray. Murray penciled it and Liefeld inked it. In this issue, Supreme returns from space, is confronted by Youngblood, and is brought to someone within the U.S. government, who tries to recruit him to join a covert super powered team. We learn that Supreme is one of the most powerful beings they've encountered.
Like most early Image comics, there's a lot of fighting, a lot of characters standing around with odd inhuman-like expressions, but not a lot of story. They spend page after page of Supreme flying. And some of the reaction comments are unintentionally hilariously written...
At least it was a quick read.
