_Supreme: The Return_, Alan Moore

_ Atomic Robo. Volume One, Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne_, Brian Cleving

Volume two of Supreme is significantly less good (without actually being bad or boring) than volume one. Supreme is Moore's dissection, reinvention and interpretation of the Superman icon across every comics style from the 1920s through the 1990s. The main stories are modern, but every other page or so is seen as an excuse to flash back to a Supreme story from a previous age or incarnation. Recommended for people who really liked volume one and wanted more; not for anyone else.

Atomic Robo is awesome! Thanks, hungrytiger!
(He said: Dan, have you read _Atomic Robo_ yet? If not, I'd recommend volume 1 to you. AR is sort of a Sci-Fi version of Hellboy. Set in the present day, but with a lot of flashbacks, it stars a sarcastic robot adventurer (built by Tesla naturally) and his team of action-scientists fighting Weird Science! monsters. Silly adventures and silly comedy (the long-standing feud between Robo and Stephen Hawking is my personal favorite).
To which I just have to say, yeah!
