Supreme issue 32 came out in October 1995. Eldon Asp (likely a pseudonym for Eric Stephenson and friends) was the writer. Penciled by Brian Denham and Jeff Johnson. Inked by Norm Rapmund and Eric Cannon. The framing sequence was written by Stephenson. Penciled by Karl Alstaetter and inked by Eric Cannon. Lettered by Kurt Hathaway.
In the 0 issue, we saw someone who looked like Supreme, smells like Supreme and is Probably Supreme shot into space in a tube. Well, the tube has landed on a planet that looks like Earth and Probably Supreme is investigating.
We cut to Chi on his world, last seen in the Supreme annual. Chi had hired an assassin to kill the Religious Fanatic Supreme and that Religious Fanatic Supreme had vowed revenge. Chi gets a message that says "Soon. -Supreme". Chi gets some girl named Tohreen and his armor.
We then get a little recap of the annual story, before we see Religious Supreme show up at Chi's doorstep.
Religious Fanatic Supreme shows up and he and Chi start fighting. As they're fighting, Religious Fanatic Supreme chases Chi into a tunnel inside a waterfall where he sees the mangled form of Father Beam, the priest Religious Fanatic Supreme killed in Legend of Supreme.
Beam accuses Religious Fanatic Supreme of being a sinful murderer. Religious Fanatic Supreme realizes that Beam would never equate the sinner with the sin and that it must be Chi, who Religious Fanatic Supreme then incinerates.
Religious Fanatic Supreme then flies off. How that links to the story of Probably Supreme on the planet like Earth, I have no idea. But I guess they wanted to finish off that subplot from the annual, which I guess I appreciate. That said, Religious Fanatic Supreme will still show up one more time.
On not Earth, Probably Supreme gets a ride in a hover farm truck toward Capital City and the farmer tells him that it is Earth.
Yeah, this whole Eric Stephenson run is really off to a great start.
