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 Lee's

Wildstorm

Productions, Erik Larsen's Highbrow Entertainment, Jim Valentino's

ShadowLine,

and 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.
