I picked up that Popeye comic having loved the cartoons but never actually reading any of E.C. Segar's stuff. Holy poo poo, Popeye and crew are douchebags.

I haven't seen this comic yet, but that all sounds pretty close to Segar's comic strips! Who are the artist(s)/writer(s) in this venture? I hope they can keep up the good work -- of the current comic strips, the Sundays are utterly dire and the (recycled) dailies are pretty tired.

Alan Moore basically rebooted Glory already in the 1990s, but only a few issues were published.

Really? Oh goody, more new old stock Moore to track down! :dance:

I don't think anyone has mentioned that Supreme has been restarted too. They finally printed Alan Moore's long-lost last issue,

Do you mean the last issue that was published way back then (the Jack Kirby tribute), or the storyline that was under way when the title was cancelled (the Supremacy vs. Daxia g�tterdammerung)? If the former, great, it'll be nice to see again. If the latter...well, I'm not terribly fond of that kind of cast of thousands all bashing each other story, so it depends on how much awesome Moore-ness there is versus how much not-so-Awesome Comics-ness.

quote:

and then the next issue brings back the original Supreme from the early 1990s, who depowers and/or kills of all of Moore's characters. I think I would've preferred for the series to be rebooted with little to no connection to the past, like the others.

My gut reaction is "How crass!" On further reflection, since Moore's added characters were part and parcel of his extended hommage to Silver Age Superman zaniness, I guess it makes sense that a new team taking the character in a new direction would discard the artifacts of the old regime. Mind, I didn't give a crap about Supreme before Moore worked his pagan magicks on it, and I'm unlikely to give a crap about it now.
