Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Chloe was in a hospital bed and learned that she was pregnant. The Utopian and Brandon argued briefly before parting ways. The Utopian arrived and stopped the containers from falling, before scolding Brandon. Suddenly, the ship started tilting and dropping cargo containers. If hockey is on your mind and Avengers Assemble is on your netflix follow Dave on twitter and leave him a cat gif.In the Bay Area, Brandon Sampson was using his telekinetic powers to carry a cargo ship in the sky. Jupiter’s Legacy mixes influences such as Watchmen, The Incredibles, and V for Vendetta to craft Millar’s best superhero project since Civil War.Īnyone else for casting Christoph Waltz as Barnabas Wolfe? If we scored books this one would come in damn near perfect. However there’s enough in issue five to justify the wait.
JUPITER HELL PUBLISHERS SERIES
The 10-month gap between issues might be a deterrent for anyone who’s been following this series since issue one. Peter Doherty’s color work is a subtle compliment to the artist’s masterful line work and blends cool and warm tones very smoothly. The visual design of these characters is what he excels at simplicity that catches the eye. His use of body language and posture make the pages come to life.
Jupiter’s Legacy is yet another example of why Quitely is one of the best visual storytellers in comics. I haven’t read the first four issues but it appears as though this comic rounds out this first volume’s call to arms theme nicely and leaves readers in a place where they will definitely want more.įor all the words purveyed in this issue, it wouldn’t feel whole without what Frank Quitely brings to the table. Throughout this issue the entire cast manages to have earned moments in these pages from Chloe demonstrating her overprotective mothering nature by chewing out her son on the moon to Jason who’s just trying to follow the footsteps of his family and rally the remaining superhumans. He gets quick to the enticement of the character as he opens with Wolfe using his cunning to deceive a secretary into revealing herself to be an illegal superhuman. Millar crafts another superb villain in Barnabas. Jason and his super powered parents Chloe and Brandon battle Wolfe and his government army to keep from being thrown in this world’s version of the Guantanamo Bay. The dapper, matter- altering, superhuman hunting, villain Barnabas Wolfe tracks down a young boy named Jason who happens to have a lineage of superheroes in his blood.
Issue five is the conclusion to the first book of hopefully many more to come.
So we’re all in for a bumpy ride.īased on my read though of Jupiter’s Legacy #5, I can safely say I’ve missed out on one hell of tale by Millar and one of the best comic artist of this generation Frank Quitely. Who knows? Well it’s been over 10 months since the last issue of Jupiter’s Legacy and about 10 years since I’ve read a Millar comic book that wasn’t in trade form. I don’t know maybe it’s because Robin Williams always said it’s hard to understand Scotsmen. It isn’t because I don’t like the man’s work, because I think he’s tremendously talented and few writers’ craft dialogue as well as he does.

Full disclosure, I never pick up Mark Millar books when they first hit the stands.
