VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Mark Millar (A/CA) Frank Quitely The comic-book event of 2013 finally arrives as superstar creators MARK MILLER and FRANK QUIETLY give us the superhero epic that all future comics will be measured by. The world's greatest heroes have grown old and their legacy is a poisonous one to the children who will never live up to their remarkable parents. Unmissable. s? Date Available: 04/24/2013
BONUS REVIEW by Gavin Rehfeldt
Jupiter's Legacy is a hip and sexy take on pulpy super-family-comics concepts that mostly works. A mysterious island is introduced (always fun), luring young explorers to a fate beyond their imaginings. Quickly the book shifts to the shallow fame-hungry successors to the legacy of the altruistic explorers. The generational contrasts are obvious in Millar's barbing of the dysfunctional Sampson family, but his skewer and wit is sharp. Quitely's art is, as always, of the highest pedigree. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
