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!

An Awesome (belated) Christmas

Hey everyone! I hope your holidays were great. I wanted to share a few gifts I got and a fun little project I'm working on.

First off, I commissioned a couple of Supreme action figures, which came out amazing:

 


I also got a couple thousand Legos (mostly yellow), which I'm slowly putting together (with the help of my daughter). I can't wait to show it to you once it's done (in six years!):


Um, yeah, but what is it?

Shameless plug


One more project I'm working on: A friend and I are creating a comic book called Miskatonic High. Five teens take on H.P. Lovecraft’s monsters and their small-town high school … They’re just not sure which is worse.

We plan to launch a kickstarter in a few days to get it published. I hope you'll consider supporting it. You can find out more at miskatonichighcomic.com.

    Print issues AND digital for Miskatonic High! What a joy to see you make these!! For a comparison of John Hughes meets (a lighter-hearted) Lovecraft this *must* gain popularity h warrant attention of anyone who likes fantasy/adventure stories. . .

    Keep it up, buddy!

      Ha ha... thanks! We'll see what it warrants once people start reading the issues.
