Jupiter’s Legacy #3 Review

  “Superheroes were the summit of American aspiration and so our children grew up to remind mankind of everything we could ever hope to be.” Writer: Mark Millar / Artist: Frank Quitely / Image Comics Well that was fast. Millar does not waste any time setting in motion this mutiny. And I’m sorry, I’ve done my damn best at limiting big spoilers for this series, but this particular issue is just too poppin’. Oh and I have another apology I must issue. My bad ya’ll, my CBG (comic book guy) has been criticizing me for not showing Quietly more love during this look back at Jupiter’s Legacy, so I’ll be sure to include all of the glory Frankie Q exudes page to page. Chloe is on her secret identity filled way to mom’s house so she can retain her advertising contracts, following that drug induced hospital visit. She got put on super thug probation and is having a real ass heart to heart with Momma Grace Sampson when out of nowhere, WAM!!] Shorty gets blasted through the living room into a van parked out front.

Frank Quietly goes on a visual rampage in this carnage laced issue. Not only does he capture the violence and destruction magnificently, but his ability to depict the fear and despair of Chloe’s mother as she bursts out of the house, only to be greeted by dozens of charged up Nights Watch-esk turncloaks is remarkable. Then that last shot of Grace Sampson, crippled, and impaled with dozens of arrows, swords and spears throughout her body…

Really amazing stuff gracing thes…
