1. Alan Moore’s Supreme

Supreme is one of the greatest Superman comics of all time, even if it isn’t actually a Superman comic.

Written by Alan Moore (yes, THAT Alan Moore) and drawn by a whole host of artists, Supreme is an absolute love letter to everything about comics, and Superman especially.

The series follows Supreme, a Superman-like hero who has recently been “revised” or rebooted. As he slowly remembers the pieces of his life, we see them via flashbacks. These flashbacks, written and drawn like old comic books, are simply sublime. From ‘50s horror to ‘60s superheroing to Mad Magazine-esque humor comics, Supreme is a comic book that loves comic books. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the Supremacy, a fortress in limbo full of alternate versions of Supreme from throughout time. I swear to God, I lose it every time laughing at Grim Eighties Supreme, who is just Alan Moore’s parody of Frank Miller.

It’s a book made of a deep love of comic books and all the charming goofiness inherent in them.

Odds of Returning: 1 in 1000. The series stopped before its intended conclusion, and, since Moore tends to end all his partnerships with ”#*@$ you, I’m never working for you again” he’s probably not coming back anytime soon. His final script for the series was drawn and released in 2012, but that’s almost definitely going to be the last we see of Alan Moore’s Pearl Paragon.

That’s it for this article. You guys have no clue how much I wanted to end this list at Number Two, just for the sake of the joke…
