SPECIAL DOUBLE-SIZED ISSUE!
The next chapter in 2021's Netflix global phenomenon begins here as MARK MILLAR returns for the sequel to one of his most critically acclaimed series. Chloe and Hutch have gotten married and had more children. The superheroes are working in harmony with humanity and creating a perfect world. But all is not well in the Garden of Eden as the Sampson family gets ripped apart and the secrets of the Netflix show's mysterious island begin to be revealed. Order big, as this will be a juggernaut!
Jupiter's Legacy: Requiem #1 delivers. There's really no other way to put it. This is Mark Millar at his best- superheroics, the humor, the characters, it's all there, and it's all amazing. Tommy Lee Edwards' art is often breathtaking and sells the grandeur of the book totally. John Paul Leon's pages are amazing; he's a talent that was lost too soon. This is a great comic, and if Millar and company can nail the rest of the book the way they've nailed this comic, then it will be one for the ages. Read Full Review
Millar writes an excellent script that shows us why he is one of the best in the business. The art by Tommy Lee Edwards is pretty great as well. The whole thing is really well done and I can't wait to see where they take us from here. Read Full Review
Jupiter's Legacy: Requiem is not without its flaws but it is off to a fantastic start. It seems Millar has an endgame for the story and I hope he maintains the quality level to this franchise as it is, in my personal opinion, his best independent work. The artwork is wonderful and innovative and I cannot wait for more of it. Read Full Review
Chloe and Hutch's offspring are ripe for a Millarworld production. Jason has grown up from his childhood superhero days to become the new Utopian. Sheldon is definitely smiling down from above like the proudest grandfather. Otto us clearly the woke one, as he left The Union for reasons. His hacking skills are top notch, he fights for the oppressed and is pissed off by Jason's goody 2 shoes act. Sophie and her Walter-like telepathy make for an interesting character. She also stepped away from the superhero life, but she seems to be holding personal resentment towards mom dukes. Considering how Millar likes to take advantage of family members feelings, I'm going to keep my eye on this one. Read Full Review
Jupiter's Legacy: Requiem #1 begins the final act of Mark Millar's superhero trilogy, boasting some of the most stunning artwork I've seen from a debut issue. I'd recommend reading the first issue after catching up on Jupiter's Legacy, or if you're a fan of Millar's work. Hopefully, this series has better reception than its Netflix adaptation.

The book looks great, but the story is convoluted and overly dour, while both the lettering and the coloring distract from the story being told in different ways. It's a little bit disappointing, and I miss Frank Quitely. Read Full Review
Great start from Millar and Edwards. We had to unpack +30 years worth of relationships and to check the world, but it was worth it, really well done there. The art is worthy of Quitely with its own futuristic take, really enjoyed that. The story is bold on opinions as Millar always is, but I am mostly really curious to see the links to the overall story and to see how it will pay off in this series. Let's hope it will end with a banger! :D
Nop, I definitely stick with the Netflix version.
I hate future-based comics that destroy the hope of the storylines that come before them. Nothing matters, violence is cool, people are expendable, that sums up Millar's world for me.
