Supreme issue 31 came out in August 1995. Gary Carlson was the writer. Layouts by Zebra MacPherson. Penciled by Todd Nauck and Brian Denham. Inked by Norm Rapmund. Lettered by Kurt Hathaway. And Jim Valentino has come on as the editor.
We start the issue with a few stray disciples left over from Darkthornn's invasion party. Much like the N's in his name, he's got too many disciples to keep track of. Anyway, Amnesia Supreme shows up and some random person shouts "We're saved! It's Supreme!" Clearly they haven't been reading the same issues I have, because when people see Supreme, they usually wind up dead or mostly dead.
Amnesia Supreme makes short work of the disciples, but ends up with a bleeding eye. Dexter Cortex signals him and offers to help with his wound.
After surgery, Amnesia Supreme ends up sporting a pretty fashionable patch and Cortex suggests he take a vacation. As Amnesia Supreme flies off Cortex makes a remark about how Amnesia Supreme is not the real Supreme. Apparently he read the epilogue to the last issue, too.
Amnesia Supreme goes on vacation to a cabin in the woods with Original Flavor Kid Supreme. Over a campfire, Original Kid Supreme tells Amnesia Supreme about the old days and how Glory used to love Supreme in the 40s. He then dreams about Glory.
Meanwhile, Original Kid Supreme pulls up Maxine's report about Supreme's origin from Legend of Supreme. When he goes to tell Amnesia Supreme, he sees a furry girl on the sleeping Amnesia Supreme, manipulating his dreams. Original Kid Supreme shoots the girl.
That upsets some nature guy names Equinox, the last forestal, the furry girl's father.
He uses nature to fight Amnesia Supreme and that goes on for a bit before furry girl pops up and says she's all better. She asks Amnesia Supreme to stay with her, but he declines. The end.
And that's the last issue of the Gary Carlson run. I can't say that the Amnesia Supreme run has really been all that interesting and Kid Supreme has been pretty damn annoying, but I kind of liked this issue and it wasn't all bad. Anyway, we'll deal with the last arc before Moore coming up next.
