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!

Rev's Supreme and Youngblood on the way!

I've talked about this before, but Andrew Rev has licensed Youngblood, Supreme and many more of Rob Liefeld's Image/Extreme/Awesome creations from R.I.P. Media (owned or formerly owned by Scott Rosenberg). He's put out some of the images onto social media, so we're starting to get an idea of where they're going:


From the above images, it looks like we're getting a new version of the Allies, maybe, or we're seeing Supreme's WWII history yet again? It looks decent, but we'll have to see if the story is any good or even references the Moore material.

Then there's this.

  

So Youngblood is back and it looks like only Doc Rocket and Twilight made it onto the team this time. 

Doesn't it seem weird that there's a Youngblood and no Shaft? 

What do you all think?
