Supreme: The New Adventures #46

[lordultimus]

Alan Moore: "Suprema has got a sort of Puritan arrogance. She's sort of like Nancy Drew with super powers or something. And, to her, if the rest the world has changed and she's remained the same, it's because the rest of the world is just wrong. She's the only yardstick that she measures it by. She sees everybody else as just -- they're impolite, they're ill-mannered, they're rude, they wear their skirts too short -- it's stuff that's shocking to her, and she refuses to go along with it. She treats everything as some sort of Girl Scout exercise with her in charge. Even if that's not the situation at all."

Heh... I always have to chuckle at how easy it is to change Gorrl's mind. Given the newspaper excerpt which suggests Suprema was aware of Gorrl's intentions when he first captured her, you have to wonder why she didn't just try that line of reasoning in the first place and save herself thirty years of separation from her brother and home planet.

Suprema's amusingly naive prissiness, which Moore notes above, is precisely why the next scene with her, in the following issue, is my favourite.

Well you can't expect a sidekick's mind to be that clever, old chum! /sarcasm

To be fair, for her it was only a little while. That is some SERIOUS time dilation.

Though...wouldn't Supreme been gone for 30 years or more at that point?

Oh well, wibbly wobbly!

I thought the same thing about the 30 years...'
Drat!(I love that's the worst thing she can say.)

How odd, I thought I had all of Moore's Supreme issues but this one isn't ringing any bells at all!

Which basically means I get to read new Moore Supreme! YAY me!
