We’ve never fully delved into the artistic stylings of Rob Liefeld, but it’s finally time to take the plunge.

We look at his work on relaunching Captain America during Marvel’s Heroes Reborn event in the 90s along with Jeph Loeb, and we find plenty of… interesting art choices to discuss. 

We read the first 5-issue storyline as well as a 6th issue that perplexed us.

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #16 which brings up a new mystery!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 053 – Supreme: Story of the Year, Pt. 1

The comics industry is full of Superman knock-offs. Every creator wants to be able to tell their own version of the story, but they’ve got to change all the details if they want to avoid lawsuits from DC.

Supreme is one such knock-off who probably would have fallen into obscurity if Alan Moore hadn’t taken over the series to write a story so epic we had to split it up into our first two-part episode!

Join us as we get this story going with Supreme #41-48.
