Quote: One of the more interesting creative line-ups to be announced is a "Supreme" story written by Alan Moore and drawn by Erik Larsen and Cory Hamscher, how did that come about?"Supreme" is by far and away the number one requested title from the Extreme library. It is the book with the most requests and the most rabid fans. Over the past decade, no single character from my library is more requested than Supreme. We have had Alan Moore's final script for years, but we needed a prominent creator to take the reins and complete the vision. Erik Larsen kind of popped off the top of his head what he would do with Supreme, and myself, Robert Kirkman and Eric Stephenson hounded him for months to commit to doing it. He had to figure out his schedule, but he finally committed and Supreme fans will be ecstatic. Not only does Supreme have a massive fan base, but it is a fan base split down the middle between those that prefer the original, arrogant, short-tempered Supreme and Alan Moore's retro-vision. Following Alan Moore's final script, Erik puts himself smack dab in the middle of that discourse and his solution is a compelling vision that should satisfy everyone. Cory Hamscher is one of the best inkers/finishers in the business, and he's an accomplished penciler as well.He's been a charter member of my Liefeld message boards for the last ten years, constantly wowing us all with his illustrations, he's so talented. He's finishing Erik's rough pencils so Erik can keep "Savage Dragon" on schedule. I cannot emphasize enough what a big deal it is to get Erik to do "Supreme." He has been adamant about keeping all his energy for "Savage Dragon," and this marks the first time in a decade that he has added an additional project to his work load. As a huge Larsen fan, this is a huge win for all of us. When Erik would do pencil roughs for "Image United," he would draw them on the 11x17 boards in about 24 hours. He is incredibly fast so it's great that he is writing and drawing with Cory Hamscher. This book is easily my favorite of the new launch! Alan Moore also wrote some "Youngblood" books when he was working for Extreme. Are there other scripts of his around?We have a great number of his scripts including several "Youngblood" issues that we will produce in the next year. Alan was in his peak form back then. "Supreme" fueled his comic book come back and many of his Extreme ideas became the basis of the former ABC line. We will showcase the best that Alan did at that period of his career. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=34915FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP ...

There's something pretty funny going on in that interview... CBR and Liefeld wrote: On "Prophet," you've got Brandon Graham writing and Simon Roy on art. What stood out for you in their pitch?
...there are some massive spoilers and twists that I can't reveal, but these guys have attacked this series and it's easily my favorite of the bunch!
Extreme's resident female powerhouse, Glory, will have her own book once more, this time featuring a story by Joe Keatinge and artwork by Ross Campbell -- how did you decide on that team?
...the opening arc is the best Glory that anyone has done. "Glory" is going to wow people. "Glory" is easily my favorite of this new launch!
One of the more interesting creative line-ups to be announced is a "Supreme" story written by Alan Moore and drawn by Erik Larsen and Cory Hamscher, how did that come about?
...so it's great that he is writing and drawing with Cory Hamscher. This book is easily my favorite of the new launch!
The members of Bloodstrike -- a group of previously dead assassins -- will get a new life thanks to Tim Seeley and Franchesco Gaston.
...I'm so excited by it. Again, easily my favorite of the new Extreme line.
Aside from "Supreme," Extreme Studios is probably best known for "Youngblood" which was one of the very first comic launched by Image Comics in 1992. Why hand the reins over to John McLaughlin and Jon Malin?
...we are going to celebrate Youngblood big time! This book is far and away my favorite of the launch so far!

pretty cool. but "Not only does Supreme have a massive fan base, but it is a fan base split down the middle between those that prefer the original, arrogant, short-tempered Supreme and Alan Moore's retro-vision. Following Alan Moore's final script, Erik puts himself smack dab in the middle of that discourse and his solution is a compelling vision that should satisfy everyone" I would not say "split down the middle"

Yeah, he probably just sees it that way because most of the letters he gets are probably from his fans.

I'd read this as well - I liked Moore's take on Supreme.
I wish they'd finish the whole "1963" storyline, though. That's like the holy grail of comics to me. I'd dearly love to know how it all ended (or was meant to have played out).

That one's sort of inexcusable, IMO -- Jim Lee spoke with Moore about drawing the finale himself, so Moore put it on the backburner until Lee's schedule cleared up... but then it never did. Wikipedia's got a really in-depth article on why it was never finished.

These partners "quickly took the initiation of the 1963 project as an open door to working with Alan on their respective projects. Again, we didn't realize at the time this also was tied up with their competitive natures: that is, it was Jim Valentino's coup that he got Alan on board via 1963, and the other Image partners wanted a piece of that action, which would also trump Jim Valentino's initial coup."
That pisses me off. It's one of the best things I've ever read. And it'll never be finished.

That pisses me off. It's one of the best things I've ever read. And it'll never be finished.  I'm a Jim Lee fan but the quote right after that really gets my goat -- Quote: "We didn't realize the Image partners were in competition with one another, and we unfortunately allowed our confusion to undercut Jim Valentino. At the 1992 San Diego Comic-Con ... Jim Lee sent an emissary to intercept Rick Veitch and I and ask if he could "do" the Annual. We - Rick, me and Alan, as we somehow contacted Alan by phone, I think - stupidly said 'Yes.' We shouldn't have.
To make a very long story short, I believed then and I believe now had we stuck with Jim Valentino, the Annual would have been completed and seen print. Jim Lee simply never did anything."

It's annoying. This explains things more fully. But the initial holdup was Jim Lee's doing, it seems. I feel for Bissette. http://srbissette.com/?p=8694

I wish I knew what was up Moore's ass on 1963. He seems to hate the whole thing as much as Watchmen or V for Vendetta... I mean, he wanted his name removed? It's not as if he was screwed out of money or rights... was he?

According to Bissette's account, they all settled the legal rights to who owned what, and everyone was happy with it. Bissette also says that he isn't sure why Moore suddenly wanted nothing to do with him, and won't speak to him directly (the legal negotiations were done via Bissette's lawyer).
It appears as though Veitch & Bissette did everything that Moore asked of them - but who knows?
