SUMMARY
Supreme is a fictional superhero created by Rob Liefeld and published by Image Comics (1992–96 and 2012–15), followed by Maximum Press (1996–98), Awesome Entertainment (1999–2000), and Arcade Comics (2006). Although Supreme was originally a violent, egotistical Superman archetype, he was retooled by Alan Moore as a tribute to Mort Weisinger’s Silver Age Superman.
The character had a 56-issue comic book series, a six-issue miniseries, and a revival in 2012 consisting of six issues. Beginning with issue #41, Moore’s run was collected in two trade paperbacks from the Checker Book Publishing Group, Supreme: The Story of the Year and Supreme: The Return. Moore’s work on the series earned him an Eisner Award for Best Writer in 1997.

At the site of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon, Supreme sulks over the state of affairs on Earth and realizes leaving decades ago was a mistake. He starts to fly away, but Crypt ambushes him and wounds him with an axe. Crypt dodges Supreme’s blows, mocks him for his belief he is a god, shoots him, and impales him with the American flag. Crypt then teleports Supreme back to Earth, sending him crashing into a Manhattan street. A crowd gathers and mistakes him for dead. At Youngblood headquarters, Knightsabre bursts in on Graves watching news coverage of the battle and is stunned to see Combat alive. Knightsabre demands answers from Graves about what is happening, but Graves dismisses him and has Combat escort him out. Crypt arrives in New York and resumes his battle with Supreme. It rages into the night until Crypt pulls Mjolnir away, rendering Supreme powerless, breaks Supreme’s back, and tosses him off a building into Spawn’s alley. Later, the bums who live there bring Spawn to see Supreme, but all they find is his tattered cape.

SPAWN made a cameo appearance in the epilogue.

Rob LiefeldがAl:Spawnを登場させると大抵は「ホームレスと酒を込み交わすAl:Spawn」のシーンばかりです。「この場面だけにしておけ」とTodd McFarlaneに釘を刺されているのかも。
さて今回のアーティストはCedric Noconですが、Marvel ComicsでX-menを描いていたという印象しかないです。あまり活躍しなかったのかな?
