Awesome
Comics
or Awesome Entertainment (also known as Awesome-Hyperwerks when
they were briefly joined with Hyperwerks
Entertainment) was an American comic book studio formed in 1997
by Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld. The company closed in
2000, and the rights to the company and its works were bought by Netflix in 2018[1]. In 1992, seven high-profile comics artists
left Marvel Comics
to form their own publisher, where comics creators could publish creator-owned
material without having to give up copyright-control
to their characters. The seven artists (bar Whilce
Portacio, who opted not to become a full partner) formed a
partnership between their individual studios, and published their comics under
the over-arcing Image Comics banner. Image's early titles were
distributed by Malibu Comics (a company chosen for its good
marketing and distribution practices), while Image established itself
independently.The studios were: Todd
McFarlane's Todd McFarlane Productions, Marc
Silvestri's Top Cow Productions, Jim Erik Larsen's Highbrow Entertainment, Jim Rob Liefeld's
Extreme Studios. Extreme Studios's Youngblood became the first comic released
under the Image banner, and became the first independent (non-Marvel/DC)
title to be a number-one best-seller.[2] Other Extreme titles published through Image included: Badrock,
Bloodstrike, Brigade,
Team Youngblood, Youngblood Strikefile, Glory,
Prophet, Supreme, Troll and New Men. Titles
thought not to fit with the Image brand were self-published under Liefeld's
separate imprint: Maximum Press. These titles included Avengelyne,
Warchild, Law and Order, Black Flag, Risk, and even
licensed properties such as the classic sci-fi
TV show Battlestar Galactica
(based on the original 1978–1979 TV series).
After Liefeld's departure from Image in 1996, Maximum Press began publishing
some of Liefeld's Extreme` titles (including Glory
and Supreme), before Awesome Entertainment came
into being.
