But just the Moore run.
Before he came on-board, Supreme was a sadistic bastard, the epitome of the "Evil Superman" trope.
Well, maybe not actually evil. Just uncaring. As if Supes suspected Luthor of some crime (just suspected, no proof) and left him a brain-dead cripple.
"innocent bystanders" and "collateral damage" were never considerations.
Moore successfully retconned all the crap away -- but he did it WITHIN continuity. The characters are aware they're periodically re-written.
>"innocent bystanders" and "collateral damage" were never considerations.
That's not entirely true. He would go out of his way to minimize civilian casualties whenever he could, and he often went out of his way to help people, if only for the sake of his own ego.
He was surprisingly more nuanced than you'd expect from a silly 90s book. He's sort of like a prototype Omni-Man. Of course, a lot of his nuance might have been an accidental side effect of the comic's franticly changing writers. Everyone seemed to have different plans and none of them really connected. The comic gets pretty out of control and it makes perfect sense Alan Moore wanted to start fresh.
Depends on WHICH Omni-Man you're asking about.
Supreme's secret identity is the comic artist who draws Omni-Man for Dazzle Comics. No relation to Invincible's Omni-Man.
One of Moore's last acts was to unleash villians even the various iterations (I said the characters were periodically re-written and aware of it) of Supreme couldn't stop them alone. They were forced to free Liefeld's Supreme, who'd been locked up because he was a psychotic mess. The villains are defeated, but then "Mean Supreme" kills or de-powers all the other Supremes.
There were 3 or 4 post-Moore issues, one of which had Mean Supreme beat the shit out of Suprema, who'd been introduced as his younger sister. Then Omni-Man (from Invincible, or a reasonable facsimile, for legal reasons) has a massive, but inconclusive, slugfest with Supreme.
That sounds pretty good, and I love Moore's stuff.
Comics like Watchmen, 1963, and that one arc in Vigilante were all great.
During Moore's run, there'd be backup stories with analogs of Batman, the Justice League, the Legion of SH, all done in styles closely imitating old DC books, sometimes right down to the inferior coloring.

That Larsen's first issue
Moore's last issue was Darius Dax finding all his previous iterations and teaming up to defeat Supreme.
You're right. But the transition is relatively smooth. At least the first part.
All the Daxes getting together was an obvious lead-up to an assault on the Supremacy and a heck of a battle.
I don't know if Moore's plan included re-introducing Mean Supreme, but he did leave some notes wherein he'd indicated the future direction he'd envisioned.
Read the Alan Moore run all the way, and then read the fan ending instead of Larsen's disaster. Those are easily the best comics for the character and the definitive take on him.
Read the rest if you want to see how it contextualizes what came after, or you just like edgy 90s anti-heroes. It's pretty fun in a dumb popcorn way, but it suffers from a lack of direction or clear vision. Plus, it keeps trying to get you to read the rest of the 90s Image catalog, which only makes things more confusing.
Blue Rose is... odd. It's a very surreal experience and doesn't quite deliver on everything you'd want it to. Still, it's a charming little book with a unique style and it's fun to see someone get really creative with the setting.
Larsen's run should be avoided at all costs. The only issue worth reading is the first one, written by Moore, and that's only if you're going to follow it up with the fan ending.
maybe
Yes, read Supreme #41-52b.
alan moore's run is one of the best cape comics out there
Shit, it's the best thing he's ever done.

It sucks so much that my two favorite comic series crossed over exactly once and it was in one of the worst issues of either.

just remember: Do Not Trust Darius Dax!
Supebros lost again. DC can’t compete
>Moore's run
>good
It's just a big lore wank fest he couldn't do with the real character because DC hurt his delicate communist feelings
>contrarian buzzword
Not an argument
Cope
It is good
It changes tho
>hurt his delicate communist feelings
He got israeliteed. That would hurt anybody's feelings.
>that edgy art style though

This should be posted along with Liefeld Cap whenever someone brings up examples of Liefeld.
It's signed by Stephen Platt and Rob Liefeld, it's probably Liefeld inking a drawing by Platt.
