Supreme
I've been reading Alan Moore's Supreme: The Story of the Year collected edition of the comic book.
It's a typical Moore retelling of the superhero trope, self-aware, self-critical, but also rich with ideas and language, while not afraid to poke fun at itself.
As always with Moore's work, there are levels of complexity beneath the prose and art work. It's been an enjoyable work, especially as Supreme goes through his many incarnations from the 20's to the 90's, with appropriate art work for each decade.
The artwork is great, especially as it is used to showcase the different comic art styles of those decades. I'm looking forward to reading the next collected volume, Supreme: The Return.
