About this Issue

Supreme #14 is the second chapter of the six-part 'Supreme Madness' arc, one of the earliest sustained crossovers to link Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios corner of Image Comics with Jim Lee's Wildstorm imprint, placing Union — a Wildstorm character — as the central guest star opposite a deranged Supreme. The issue marks the in-continuity death of recurring villain Zachariah Grizlock, whose lab explosion is later established as the origin event that gave Danny Fuller his superpowers (revealed in Supreme #19), making #14 a quiet but consequential piece of Extreme Universe world-building. It also demonstrates the mid-1990s Image ethos of shared-universe guest-star storytelling across studio lines, a practice that would define the publisher's 1994 output and prefigure larger crossover events to come.

History

The 'Supreme Madness' storyline was scripted by Rob Liefeld and Kurt Hathaway as the creative team sought to raise the series' profile by pulling in characters from across the Image shared universe. Dan Fraga handled both pencils and inks for this installment, with a cover by Jeff Matsuda and Jonathan Sibal — Matsuda being among the younger artists rotating through Extreme Studios titles at the time. The arc ran through Supreme #13–18 (June–August 1994) and was later collected in the Supreme Madness trade paperback published by Image Comics in May 1996.

Trivia · 8 facts

Published June 1994 by Image Comics (Extreme Studios imprint); cover-titled 'Union' and subtitled 'Supreme Madness Part 2 of 6.'
Written by Rob Liefeld and Kurt Hathaway; interior art (pencils and inks) by Dan Fraga; cover pencils by Jeff Matsuda, inks by Jonathan Sibal.
Zachariah Grizlock, Supreme's recurring nemesis, dies in this issue — killed in the explosion triggered by his own 'treatment' that drove Supreme insane.
The explosion from Grizlock's laboratory established in this issue is retroactively identified in Supreme #19 as the origin event that granted Danny Fuller superhuman abilities.
Union (real name Ohmen), the Wildstorm alien warrior co-created by Jim Lee and Mike Heisler, appears as the primary guest star; his first appearance was in his own miniseries (Union #1, 1993), not here.
The story is set at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; Union and companion Jill Monroe witness the aftermath of Supreme's destructive rampage and Union strategically feigns defeat to prevent further civilian casualties.
The issue is part of the 'Supreme Madness' arc (Supreme #13–18), a cross-imprint Image crossover that also featured Spawn, Stormwatch, and Pitt fighting the maddened Supreme across subsequent chapters.
The entire 'Supreme Madness' arc, including this issue, was reprinted in the Supreme Madness trade paperback (Image Comics, May 1996), collecting Supreme #12–18.
