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!

Joe Casey on Youngblood, WildC.A.T.s and Judgment Day

There's a new podcast called The Alan Moore Cast. It is described as, "Each week on The Alan Moore Cast, your favorite comic book creators and pop culture aficionados join host Nathan Cabaniss to talk about a different Moore project. The comics, the books, the adaptations... We'll be discussing them all to fully explore the work of a writer who changed the comic book landscape, if not all of popular culture, several times over."

Several weeks ago, there was a good episode featuring Joe Casey, a writer who followed Moore on both WildC.A.T.s and Youngblood. Casey talks about what he liked about Moore's runs and how they inspired him, but also a great bit about where he thinks Moore went wrong on Judgment Day.
