Oh boy. Another company wide crossover. My favorite.
Welcome to Supreme Apocalypse part 1 of 5. As usual, I am not reviewing the issues of the other series because I value what little of my sanity I have left, so we'll see if this makes any sense.
We start the issue with Amnesia Supreme and Kid Supreme bursting into some underground lair where the Baptist and his cult are about to stab another sacrifice.
Before they can stop him, he stabs her in the name of Darkthornn (the extra N is for who cares). While Amnesia Supreme is beating up on the Baptist, the sacrifice gets up, pulls the blade out of her chest and stabs Amnesia Supreme in the back.
We cut to some planet where Darkthornn is being tortured by D'Arcangel.
It turns out that this little torture play fills up their power supplies. As Darkthornn prepares his army to teleport to Earth and do Darkthornn stuff, D'Arcangel comes and says the power generators are going nuts.
Back on Earth, Kid Supreme tries to get the blade out of Amnesia Supreme's back but instead, it breaks and continues to drain the victim.
Then three random people called Berzerkers show up and start helping Supreme. So Kid Supreme does what comes natural and starts fighting them.
Turns out they're freedom fighters from Darkthornn's planet. And they were created by Dr. Wells--the same Dr. Wells who created Supreme and Prophet! They decide that maybe Wells can help Supreme. They teleport away and even though Kid Supreme was told to stay, he follows them.
While in transport, something goes awry and Kid Supreme ends up in Darkthornn's throne room, where he learns that Baptist gives the blade handle to Darkthornn. Dun dun!
Just as the Berzerkers are about to try to remove the blade from Supreme, some of Darkthornn's disciples show up and we get some more fighting. As that goes on, Amnesia Supreme starts to fall under Darkthornn's control.
Somewhere and somewhen else Prophet goes crazy in "battle lust." Yeah, ok. And he starts beating up his compatriots... whoever they are. They use something called a black box to help Prophet link up to some satellite that provides Prophet with information and power.
When Prophet calms down, they find out about Darkthornn and that Dr. Wells is on Darkthornn's planet, so they teleport there to help.
To find out more, you'd have to read Prophet and Glory... but that's not happening. So we'll see where the story stands next issue, instead.
