On my second reading I have a different impression of the flow of the story. A lot of it felt more superficial this time. I still like the overall trippiness of it and the fact that it's not supposed to be a typically resolved plot line. But somehow the reread didn't have as much punch as the first reading a year ago.
I suspect my feelings on this story will always fluctuate. Lots of interesting ideas here, but sometimes the execution made me feel like there was an epiphany I was supposed to have somewhere along the line that I missed.

I felt like I didn't know enough quantum physics to follow this story line. Too many multiverses introduced.

Les images, sérieux... elles sont TELLEMENT belles. C'est fou, fou, fou. J'ai adoré leur côté hors du temps, les fonds... c'est magnifique.
Histoire intéressante, un peu post-moderne, réflexion sur les super-héros dans les comics et leurs multiples vies. Mais sérieusement, c'est étrange, souvent confus, et je ne conseillerais pas si vous ne connaissez pas Supreme. Sinon, vous allez manquer des références et ne rien comprendre pendant plus de la moitié du truc, je pense!

The art style in this I think is some of my favorite that I've come across. The story is so epic, and I loved it. It was a bit confusing at some points, but nothing that stalled the story or that rereading didn't help. I love the idea of the universe going through a revision that corrupted. I think this is great.

Supreme: Blue Rose is a story based on alternate universes, or something like that. The universe constantly resetting itself, and these versions of people around that don't match every revision The Supremacy is a bunch of people who can see through this revision, and recall past versions. That's all I gathered from this extremely confusing story. Even by the end, I didn't know what the red-head (forgot her name) does, and what actually is the reasoning behind the revisions. And that Professor Night thing was really weird, though, in a meta way.
What drew me in about this book, at least to request it, was the cover and the description. I was like - oh cool. The reality was that, though the lineart is pretty good (very talented sketcher, I must say), the coloring of the graphic novel is quite, well, vibrant. I don't know if it is because it was a galley, but there were these faint blue lines criss-crossing all over the page, which were sort of ruining the artwork. If it was intentional, to lend the overall hyper-realistic/illusionist feeling, I would say it didn't really have a positive role in that direction. It didn't really fulfill my expectations after that beautiful cover.
