Wasted potential unironically
>>143323949No real potential
>>143324193Ah the /co/ntrarians.
Liefelds pens plus the Alan Moore run and you say wasted? What more could you want? Six seasons and a movie?
>>143324356>Six seasons and a movieYes.Imagine Supreme in the Invincible cartoon.
>>143323949I've tried to read this comic multiple times but the meta contextual themes are fucking 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.
Is this thread based?>Yes
>>143324430Speak for yourself.
>>143324379Six seasons of THIS?That might rule actually..
>>143323949Any one of us could make a Superman expy. The world is a shitty place and no one apparently has that kind of optimism anymore
>>143324493You get it
>>143323949For a second i was like "When did Tom Strong wear a cape?" And then i remembered the other Alan Moore Superman expy.
>>143324923>Tom StrongDoesn't that comic promote race mixing
>>143324923Tom Strong is not a Superman expy.
>>1433243381) 90s era edgy liefeld supermanmeh2) 2 years of Moore doing a homage to silver age supermanmehI 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?
>>143325109Aside 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.
>>143324923>Tom Strong>Superman expyHuh, /co/ really doesn't read comics.
>>143324356Just for Moore to finish his second run.
Test
>>143325377We just complain
>>143326087this
>>143323949It 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.
KABOOOOOOOM
>>143327465All of that is incorrect.
>>143327520Omni-Man looks different.
>>143328463He's wearing his coalition of planets uniform
>>143327465created by rob liefeld
>>143323949They did him real dirty in that run of Glory where they made her some kind of freaky monsterwoman.
>>143323949Is there anything consistent about this character? Like at all?
>>143325330It really suck, because I want a Moore-Supreme Compendium
>>143330468No. And that's an important plot point in the Moore-run.
You guys are pretty supremacy ngl.
>>143330651Nice.
>>143328463>>143328480Someone didn't read the books detected
>>143324923While 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.
>>143333373>reconstructionNo, it's still "deconstruction". Reconstruction is not a thing.
>>143325377It doesn't help that Morrison made his Superman look like Tom Strong in his Superman/Authority comic.
>>143329363>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.
>>143334285Reconstruction happens post-deconstruction. It's the entire purpose of deconstructing something, to make something anew. It's different from glorification.
>>143323949We have Captain Marvel at home.
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.
>>143336911I assume you mean Billy
>>143335532This one?
>>143338339>Grey temples>Short sleeves>Gloves and tools>Triangle logoWho was I describing again??
>>143338398I really like Tom's design.
