The mystery of Creutzfeldt's plan is an intriguing one, and the titular superhero organization he runs is probably the biggest reason to come back for the next issue. The Supremacy isn't a great book; Dwayne Biddix's pencils are indistinguishable amidst the reams of superhero comics on the stands at any given time, and Peter G.'s dialogue can often seem forced or uninspired. As a storyteller, though, he's largely serviceable. Still, there's not enough here that seems new or fresh, nothing that truly stands out. Pulsar's station in life could lead to a lot of rich emotional anguish, but, apart from a staged teaming-up with his old childhood hero Frontliner, that doesn't go entirely as planned; there's not a lot here to hook you.
But this is only the first of five issues, and you can't always expect excellence right out of the gate. Though it's got its flaws, The Supremacy has enough interesting ideas to warrant further exploration. I can't recommend you add this to your pull list right away, but you might want to keep an eye out.
