Supreme issue 35 came out in January 1996. Rob Liefeld and Eric Stephenson did the story. Stephenson did the script. Pencils by Joe Bennett. Inked by Norm Rapmund. Lettered by Kurt Hathaway.
Hey look, another company-wide crossover. These are always the best, aren't they? As always, I'm only recapping what happened in Supreme, not the other issues. According to the "Story so far" section of the credits page, something called the Keep is trying to invade Earth and the Extreme Universe characters are trying to stop it.
We start with Probe in space having ripped a hole in the Keep's mothership. She goes back in thinking there's a Nu Gene inside (Nu Gene being the Extreme equivalent of a mutant from Marvel). Instead she finds the Shepherd (what is Liefeld's obsession with religious terminology) and they immediately start fighting. Swell.
On Prophet's space station, a bunch of heroes show up and try to communicate with Dr. Wells, who sends Prophet to join them.
On the Keep mothership, a bunch of heroes are confronting Quantum, the homicidal killer and father of Battlestone and Cabbot. He agrees to help the heroes confront the Keep.
Back to Probe battling Shepherd. He tells her that he's seen Supreme out among the stars, which piques Probe's interest.
On Earth, the Keep are blowing things up as the heroes from the space station teleport somewhere and rescue some other heroes. Basically, all of the other heroes are joining together to fight the Keep.
Back to Probe, where Shepherd beats her up and takes off.
Yeah, I was totally wrong about these company-wide crossovers. They're totally great. Ugh.
