I think the yungblud runs to about three issues, all of which have the hot stink of fun. big brother, doc rocket, johnny panic, good late nineties eyeswideopen reinsuperheroes.
a good bang for your buck would be the Awesome handbook, or something like that, white cover with an alex ross suprema on it I seem to remember, where the beardy basilisk [there's sites where they unblushingly call him the grand high midwinter magus of great britain, thankfully not here] lays out his ideas for the future of the awesome u, including ideas for glory, youngblood, supreme, the fantastic four analogues, all sorts. given the liefieldverse's scheduling habit there was no way all these ideas would have found their way into funnybook-form, so the handbook is where it's truly at.
its pricey, but there's a supreme trade around now as well, and once you've got past the 'it's too retro' [it's why/how retro can sometimes be cool] you've got a shitload of good comicry there, an important and valid reinterpretation of the DCU and superman's whole pants over tights bit. four stars from this true believer. |
