Recreation

My friend Doyle made this cool (pseudo)recreation of a Supreme comic and I thought it'd be fun to share it:

For reference:

Rob Liefeld's Bloodstrike

In 2015, Rob Liefeld came out with a new Bloodstrike. He wrote it and did the art for it, so it was probably the idea that he wanted to do and scrapped Tim Seeley's version of Bloodstrike for.

Moore never worked on Bloodstrike, so there aren't a ton of connections and I'm not going to go into a ton of detail on the series (all two issues of it), but some Awesome characters appeared in it, so I'll discuss them in detail.

Essentially the story is about a new Born Again operative who, while tangling with an old Liefeld villain, Tragedy Ann (yeah, really), has his penis cut off. He then spends the rest of the series trying to track it down. Ann has given it to a mysterious teenage villain, who is putting together body parts to construct an ultimate weapon.

The story is Liefeld at his most funny. It's all really lowbrow stuff, but when he starts calling out his own original early-Image characters as being "Wolverine ripoffs," you can tell he's having fun. Whether you think it's funny or just dumb is up to you.

Anyway, where this blog is concerned is where Professor Night shows up in issue #2. Apparently the villain wants his brain to put into Supreme's body. And she used a kidnapped Twilight to lure Professor Night out of retirement:

Twilight is one of my favorite characters and this is kind of tacky and gross, but of course, none of it really mattered because there was no issue #3 and none of this was ever mentioned again.

A beautiful Sprouse commission

 Chris Sprouse posted this on his Facebook recently:

 

"Digital pencils, which I printed out and inked on a separate sheet of paper with the help of a lightbox."

"Unfinished inks/inked linework. When doing color pieces, I use pretty heavy, nearly opaque watercolors sometimes, and certain colors will just sit on top of the black ink. For that reason it's better to fill in all the solid black areas after all the colors are applied and dry."

 

"Colors, done using brush and watercolors. There are actually clouds and some light blue sky in the final drawing, but I did this piece in a hotel room after hours at a convention and was at the mercy of the crappy Kinko's scanner I had to use to capture it the next day. The blue just didn't reproduce at all."

A new Kid Supreme?

Here's the deal. I really don't want to get into Andrew Rev's contracts, and for the most part, I doubt we'll ever actually see a new Supreme or Youngblood comic from Terrific. So I'm mostly going to ignore the noise. That said, this is interesting. 

An artist working for Rev got angry for non-payment of work so he shared some pages. He said the writer's name is Leon MacKenzie. And it appears to be a Kid Supreme book, which includes the Supremacy, multiple Supremes and maybe Original Dax (um... maybe not). Check it out:

The Judgment Day layouts

Rob Liefeld recently tweeted some of the thumbnails for Judgment Day Alpha. He asked Marat Mychaels to go through Moore's script and draw thumbnails for Liefeld to then finish off. It's interesting to see how much of it stayed close to what Mychaels drew... with a few exceptions.

Here are the pages side by side:
