Supreme Returns

[superboyprime]

First Prophet, then Glory, then Bloodstrike. Now the final title of the relaunch of Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios is out, Supreme...

I see nothing of worth here. Moving on.

Is this continuing the Alan Moore inspired plot, I'm sure I remember reading that he had a Dax Alliance plot which he never got around to.

Who is on the art for this? (You might want to add some tags BTW)

[lascoden]

Erik Larsen on art, I believe.

Why am I thinking "Sentry - the early years"?

[kusonaga]

I don't know. Supreme predates Sentry by about ten years.

[eyz]

Well...huh..at least it's not Liefeld on the art!

This week on Supreme: SEXY TIME! Sexy time for everyone!

The art is horrible. I just read it, and there are many week points: Diana Dane's facial expressions sometimes don't match what she's saying, Suprema looks too cartoony; and in Daxia, when Dax is aboard Darius Duck, the couple allegedly chasing them is actually drawn from an angle that looks like they're already ahead of them. Sloppy, sloppy art.

The story also didn't do much for me. I expected more. I always thought 'Revelations' would be some mind-breaking, game-changing twist; instead the Daxes just discover the Supremacy exists and there's going to be a huge fist fight. Must be the first time Moore disappoints me. Even Bradrock Vs Violator was funnier and smarter than this.

Also, Eric Stephenson's words at the end fill me with dread. First of all, any person who praises Liefeld's version gets absolutely no benefit of the doubt from me. But to say that they're trying to go back to that version, when Supreme was this simpleton who solved everything with his super-duper muscles? To praise that kind of shit storytelling when Alan Moore turned Supreme into an intelligent character who used brains and panache to win? It's pathetic, just pathetic.

Well, thanks for printing Moore's last Supreme story, even if it wasn't worth the wait.

In fairness to the artist, though I don't know why I should be fair, a lot of the art on the original run was much like this. It wasn't all Chris Sprouse and Rick Veitch! To me, this looks exactly the way I'd have expected the issue to look had it been published when it was originally intended to be.

I just can't seem to focus on anything but the fact the woman in the hood put on her boots and THEN her pants. That takes....skill I suppose. O_o

Maybe those were socks? Maybe the Dax's have poor circulation.

The 'it's called attraction' panel made me giggle though, he seemed to just pounce across the room like a cad in an old silent movie. I like to imagine he waggled his eyebrows.

[leorising]

The hell?

[big_daddy_d]

A guy can't just get any booty these days can he? Cock blocks left and right. Damn shame.

[jcbaggee]

"Yes. It's called attraction."

Ugh. That writing.
