I didn't read that one. Should check it out.

I didn't really hardcore get back into comics until this past year and a half or so... So I'm playing a lot of catch-up.

Samples of Supreme Power.

I highly recommend it. Really, I sat down and read the entire run again last week, and it's just excellent. There were only eighteen issues, all out in trade, and then the series was rebooted/continued in the Squadron Supreme title, which was published (and still is) in Marvel's Marvel Knights imprint, which is for teens, meaning age fifteen plus. Not quite the MAX format of eighteen plus in age - so less graphic violence and sex - but still pretty damn good, and still with JMS writing. Sophisticated plotlines, dark tone, lots of politics, and GORGEOUS art by Gary Frank, both in Supreme Power and Squadron Supreme.

The good people of [livejournal.com profile] scans_daily have posted scans numerous times.

You can find them all right here. (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/tag/supreme+power)

The premise of Supreme Power was/is a very, very dark interpretation of the Superman/Justice League mythos, set in a very realistic world, using Marvel characters. It's set on an Earth where the first generation of superheroes and mutants is just coming into being, circa 2004-2007. It's riotously funny and wrenchingly dark, sometimes in the space of a single page.

Enjoy!
