CBR:

The pop culture landscape is in the middle of a full-on multimedia 90s resurrection, between the return of Liquid Television online and bands like Bush dropping new records. And, of course, comics aren’t immune to current trends. Announced today at  New York Comic Con,  Image Comics  announced that  Rob Liefeld  is returning  Extreme  Studios to active status!

The former home of books like “Youngblood,” “Glory” and “Supreme,” Extreme originated as the Image founder’s personal imprint, but soon morphed into its own endeavor when he split from his partners in 1996. During it’s first run, Extreme published fan-favorite titles like Alan Moore’s “Youngblood” and Moore’s extensive and beloved run on “Supreme.”

Liefeld has re-teamed with Image’s Eric Stephenson, who led the editorial team for Extreme back in the day, to oversee the return of these characters, and in many cases the series themselves, to the world of comics. CBR News spoke with Liefeld about the Awesome characters joining the recently relaunched “Avengelyne” as well as why each creator made so much sense for their specific project.

GLORY BE.
