Supergod is a 5-issue comic book limited series created by Warren Ellis, published by Avatar Press, with art by Garrie Gastonny. Issue 1 was released in November 20091. In an essay written at the time of publication, Warren Ellis said: Supergod is regarded as the third and final series in Ellis' Avatar Press-published "Superhuman Trilogy" dealing with the creation of superheroes, preceded by Black Summer and No Hero. Prior to Supergods release, Warren Ellis said in an interview that, "Black Summer was about superhumans who were too human. No Hero was about superhumans who were inhuman. Supergod is about superhumans who are no longer human at all, but something else. The third leg of a thematic trilogy if you like."

Comic Book Resources found it to be "(o)riginal, inventive, and very good", but also "somewhat jarring". Io9 noted that, of Ellis's many works exploring "the real-world ramifications of superheroics", Supergod is "by far the sexiest", and compared it to a cross between Street Fighter 2 and Kaiju Big Battel. ==Notes== ==References== ===Reviews=== Review: Supergod #1, #3, #4, Comic Book Resources Supergod #1 Review, #2, #4, Comic Book Resources , The ZONE
