I think they got all the potential they could possible get out of the character. It would have been cool if Moore wrote the ending but otherwise what more potential do you see with the character?
Aside from Moore himself, anyone who wants to write Superman is just going to try to get into DC and write Superman, so nobody else was lining up to write that version of Supreme. It's why Kirkman and Larsen both just wanted to bring back the original version of Supreme. Like a lot of early Image books, the idea was better than the execution.
As things stand now, Supreme is one one of the characters that Rob Liefeld no longer owns, and the owner licensed the comic rights for Supreme and Youngblood to some other guy who's done nothing with them in years, it's possible they may have expired by now, it doesn't look like we're ever going to see these characters again.
I've tried to read this comic multiple times but the meta contextual themes are fricking nauseatingly tired and done at this point. I'm sure it was good when it was it out in the 90's but it's impossible to enjoy nowadays.
While Tom Strong (like much of the ABC-titles) comes from a direct lineage of what Moore was doing with Supreme (reconstruction of superhero tropes, instead of the deconstruction he's been long associated with), the character itself is a homage to pulp hero Doc Savage.
Reconstruction happens post-deconstruction. It's the entire purpose of deconstructing something, to make something anew. It's different from glorification.
>that run of Glory where they made her some kind of freaky monsterwoman.
Rob Liefeld has a real eye for talent, and a willingness to let people do whatever they want with his creations, even when maybe sometimes he shouldn't.
This is the antithesis of wasted potential, what? Edgy Superman expy that would otherwise be forgotten getting one of the most revenant, heartfelt Superman runs of all time.
No real potential
Ah the Cinemaphilentrarians.

It really suck, because I want a Moore-Supreme Compendium
Liefelds pens plus the Alan Moore run and you say wasted? What more could you want? Six seasons and a movie?
>Six seasons and a movie
Yes.
Imagine Supreme in the Invincible cartoon.
Six seasons of THIS?
That might rule actually..
You get it
Just for Moore to finish his second run.

Speak for yourself.
Any one of us could make a Superman expy. The world is a shitty place and no one apparently has that kind of optimism anymore
For a second i was like "When did Tom Strong wear a cape?" And then i remembered the other Alan Moore Superman expy.
>Tom Strong
Doesn't that comic promote race mixing
Tom Strong is not a Superman expy.
>Tom Strong
>Superman expy
Huh, Cinemaphile really doesn't read comics.
We just complain
It doesn't help that Morrison made his Superman look like Tom Strong in his Superman/Authority comic.
This one?
>Grey temples
>Short sleeves
>Gloves and tools
>Triangle logo
Who was I describing again??
I really like Tom's design.

>reconstruction
No, it's still "deconstruction". Reconstruction is not a thing.
Reconstruction happens post-deconstruction. It's the entire purpose of deconstructing something, to make something anew. It's different from glorification.
Test
It was just a Superman clone that Moore had to create because DC wouldn't allow him to use the real character in his experimental writing.
All of that is incorrect.
created by rob liefeld
KABOOOOOOOM
Omni-Man looks different.
He's wearing his coalition of planets uniform
Someone didn't read the books detected
They did him real dirty in that run of Glory where they made her some kind of freaky monsterwoman.

Is there anything consistent about this character? Like at all?
No. And that's an important plot point in the Moore-run.
Nice.
You guys are pretty supremacy ngl.
We have Captain Marvel at home.
I assume you mean Billy
