ROSS, KRUEGER ON SUPREME
by Rob Allstetter
Awesome Comics' Rob Liefeld said that Earth X collaborators Jim Krueger and
Alex Ross will be working on a Supreme mini-series to be released next year.
"I'm a huge fan of these two gentlemen's work and we're going to be doing a
huge project with them in the middle of 2000," Liefeld said. "Alex Ross and
Jim Krueger are doing a Supreme Prestige Format, three-issue mini-series.
"I can't tell you the title, but Alex called me months ago and said, 'I've
created a hundred new characters for this series.' I said, 'You did not.
Don't tell me a hundred because I'll go repeat that.' He said, 'I'm telling
you, it's a hundred new characters.'
"It's a story I've never seen done in comics before. Alex will be doing the
third book. He's designing all the characters, painting all the promotion
pieces, he's painting all the covers and he's doing the third book of the
series."
Liefeld said he couldn't announce the other artists for the project's first
two issues because the deals haven't been signed yet.
"You're going to see a lot of build-up over the next year," Liefeld said. "I
think of it as our Kingdom Come. I'm extremely flattered that someone as busy
and talented as Alex and Jim have decided to do this for us.
"Alex has shown me some of the sketches and they will blow you away. Alex
continues to cement himself as one of the most versatile creators in the
field and this stuff is going to take him to the next level.
"He said, 'Rob, this will be the most controversial thing I've ever done.'
And I said, 'Well, if you're doing it with me, I can guarantee that will be
the case - whether you want it to or not.'"
