The final Alan Moore script was planned to be the final Alan Moore script. He intentionally left it on a cliffhanger.

I haven't read this week's issue yet, but I like the first Larsen penned issue okay. It's a totally different direction from the Moore stuff which is fine seeing as Larsen doing Moore would be terrible. If you're looking for more of the Silver Age type of stories Moore was doing you should just drop the book. Larsen has stated explicity that he intends to do a 90s era Supreme as a dick style run.

Eesh...really? Then I can't imagine why I'd want to read it. I don't want or need a copy-cat Moore, but "90's era Supreme as a dick" sounds like "90's era shit". No thanks.

I can top you there. I've read Bruce Jones' Hulk. AND part of Devin Grayson's Nightwing.

I also have to say, I wish both Glory and Youngblood were continuing the Alan Moore stuff instead of what we're getting. But how goes it for all of you?

I almost got it, because I really like Larsen's art. But it's a Liefeld book and a bad copy of Superman. At least when Moore wrote it, it was a good copy of Superman.

I've read those too, but nothing can top the awfulness of when Jason Todd turned into a some kind of monster thing.

I used to like Larsen's artwork, back in the 90s. But these issues, the art seems "loose" compared to before. It's okay, but I'm not enjoying it as much.

I still think that the start up of Supreme and the premise given, imagine Superman was a real major dick/douche that decided to bugger off into deep space to find new asses to kick. He comes back to check on the old home, finds a bunch of butts to kick and some folks that could kick his ass or give it a good try. From there it was all down hill with piss poor writing that was almost as bad as anything Christina Z or Brandon Choi wrote. Or Rob Liefeld... oh wait.

I have to admit, I like Superman archtypes. They either get used interestingly or very good. Examples - Alan Moore's Supreme, Warren Ellis' The High and Apollo, Icon, Hyperion of Supreme Power, Victor (sort of). They allow some things to be done with Superman, that you really can't or should not do with Superman. Some, at times, fun explorations.
