Nice to see what goes on in the background of major battles. Also I'm not sure if anyone else picked up on this, but Quietely almost exclusively uses a 2x4 grid for these issues. Interestingly, the grid is never fully taken advantage of as each page generally sticks to the trend of 4-5 panels. (4 wide panels: 3 wide and a 2 split).

This was a deliberate move by the creative team as it quickens the pace of the story by a considerable margin as well as adding a certain cinematic flair to teh story. Another note is that Millar limits himself to 25-30 words per split panel, or 50 words every wide. Also he tries to limit his dialog to comment, response (and counter response if he necessary).

>>88778795
I don't think so. The whole point is the horror of what you don't see. That's why he/this is so scary. The series as a whole does great things with the telepathy.

The visceral stuff you get with the mom is more than enough to get the point across.

>>88778853
But that's exactly the point I was trying to make. Millar wrote this scene with the mentality "Tell, don't show" because the mystery/ambiguity of the beatdown adds so much to an otherwise "plain scene".

In the world of comics what Millar did is generally seen as a no-no because it detracts from the point of comics wherein its a visual medium. In most circumstances writers are told to operate from the other mentality, "Show, don't tell," where a writer should a create a scene that conveyed through the art, rather than dialog present in speech bubbles. In the fight with Blackstar, he did the exact opposite of what he was "supposed to do" with amazing results.

How the fuck does that rod work? Clearly it's voice activated but he managed to retrieve it from shark infested waters probably miles away while underwater. I bet he wired a transmitter directly into his vocal cords and a corresponding receiver within the rod. Then again all this is speculation and it could just be a magic rod.

He's known as Brainwave's son and all.

Meanwhile, Johnny Bolt's girlfriend is his illegitimate daughter and I guess no one really sees her as part of the family, if she's claimed.

If there's one thing Millar does well, it's ramp things up from 0-60 in the span of one panel. He may not write the most flowery of fight scenes, but they display the full might of superpowers pushed to their limits and used in ways not necessarily intended. When powers do enter the picture, they are fast, mean, and impactful which isn't something you get to see in most cape comics.

I feel like this is something that can definitely be pieced together, but is there any hard evidence in Supercrooks or Legacy/Circle?

1MB, 1988x3056px

Something I didn't really notice till now, but the Utopian was getting his ass handed to him before Brandon showed up. It doesn't really look like the other heroes need his help to finish the job. So I see one of two possibilities.

1. Even with all those heroes wailing on him and having survived MULTIPLE nukes to the face, the Utopian was still recovering at an extraordinary rate and in spite of those injuries he would have quickly overpowered them and assured his victory, which is why Brainwave enlisted the help of Brandon, to prevent that from happening.

2. Brainwave was completely aware that enlisting the help of Brandon wouldn't be necessary, but decides that having Brandon be the one to actually do it is actually beneficial in a sense. First, he convinced one of his kids to do it which has to be an ego boost. Second, he can always state that Brandon was ultimately the one to do it and maintain his "innocence" if things start to turn sour for him. And thirdly, and this is the one that think, having Brandon kill Sheldon cements Brandon's relationship to Walter. Brandon literally killed for him and if there's one thing I know that builds an attachment to him.

>>88780074
Just something Millar flat out said.
There's no hard evidence other than both of them being really powerful mind manipulators.

And the end of SuperCrooks has her put together her own "mind painting"

The series went on an extremely long hiatus after the third issue before returning. While that pissed off a lot of people, it gave me time to revisit these first three issues and scan them over and I've come to a conclusion. Millar managed to create his own universe complete with fully realized characters and history. He and Quietely managed to do more world building and characterization in 3 issues than many series ever manage to achieve with 4 times the issues. And he also managed to do this with significantly less dialog due to the self-imposed panel restrictions. Fucking insane.

>>88780082
I saw it as them not being able to kill him. It took the whole group to keep him down, but only his kid actually had the power to finish him off. Sooner or later the group would tire of beating him up and he'd be able to escape. If he was really about to be killed by the group then he really shouldn't have been so coherent at the end. He went down perfectly explaining what Walter was actually doing.

As an aside, the only thing I really didn't like about this is how everyone seems to be on-board with killing them so callously. Especially with how they act like they're all family. A Civil War-type thing just seems more reasonable than every second-generation hero and onward being asshole murderers just because they've got a domineering uncle.

I'm glad we revisited the island, but I don't know how I feel about their powers being bestowed upon them by aliens. I almost would have preferred them keep it ambiguious or explain that these creatures aren't really aliens, it's just a form that can be easily accepted by them.

>>88780204
I completely agree, but I think Millar had pretty strongly hinted that this attitude towards Walter was building for a number of years, and they had finally just grown sick of it. And I don't think all the heroes united against him, just the ones that felt like they were under his boot, which is probably the more powerful ones because they would be on the front line with him, thus receive the most amount of domineering from the Utopian.

So universe 1 is the universe where the villains won and they tried to recreate a "normal" world that gradually starts reverting back to it's fantastic self. Universe 2 is what would have happened when the superheros "beat the bad guy" and were left with each other, which resulted in Jupiter's LEgacy. If I'm understanding that right than Millar made a ballin multiverse.

I'd read a series just about Sheldon and George broing it up throughout the 50s and 60s

>>88781334
That's an interesting point that I'm not sure is really addressed. I guess that once they came back from island, the world irreversibly changed to accommodate these heroes and started to create threats where prevously there were none (like throwing aliens and otherworldy threats their way). Some probably did come from the original six, but because of the sizable population of super heroes its unlikely they all originated from them.

>>88780119
I don't think it's that impressive. He did it at the expense of character development. You could sum up as much as we've been shown in a single page if you devoted even less time to establishing the players and their motivations. It's just not the way most people choose to write.

>>88781341
Circle 2 has some even better ones IMO. Issue 2 is nuts from Quitely.

>>88781742
I don't think he forsake ALL character development. He decided he'd rather start with fully realized people that already had an established history rather than have the characters go through any sort of "development" throughout this series. Character development is great when it works, but you COULD potentially botch it which makes either you or the character look pretentious. Also establishing character moments tend to rather "expensive" in terms of panel count which is why they tend to be used sparingly.

An experienced writer could operate within these limitations in mind and have character moments revealed through minor interactions with the environment or using cues in the background but I don't feel like Millar is quite there yet. I agree that's not the way most people choose to write but I feel that in the case of Jupiter's Legacy it works quite well. Jupiter's Circle is when he starts operating from the opposing approach.

An extremely intelligent one capable of building a superhuman detector with a wild curiosity about the golden age and a penchant for the superheroics. So nobody remotely realistic in our world but perfectly fine in their universe. This mentality helps me suspend my disbelief a little more when reading comics.

Well shit, I wasn't expecting to learn a new thing about English from this comic. Thanks for teaching me something new about prostitution, Millar.

I didn't know that either. I think it was just a slang term but I never developed a concrete definition for it.

Also, I know that nobody here probably cares but my tripcode was StoryBro and I had been posting stortyimes for a couple weeks. I had this massive Superman epic planned out and I managed to get through Millar's run but then I stopped. I had actually come down with the flu while I punching in my final grades and had to be hospitalized. So totally sorry about that lol. I'll see if I can track down the order I planned on posting. I think it was going to be Johns.

A superkid.

>>88780204
We see the super prisons have quite a few folks in them. I'm guessing that at the same time or a bit before this was happening, people were being taken out and/or captured quietly. Having a psychic mastermind it means he knows who's going to be a problem in advance, so he probably got the little folks out of the way so nobody would be left when it was time to take down the big man. Plus anybody on the fence he could probably just pull over to his side.

I think you just recognized it. This takes place in the past. From my understanding Walter didn't start focus on trying to fix the world until muvh later. By that point he wised up and realized there are far more important things to concern yourself with than two guys pork fencing.

The same way Universe 1 started growing hero's again after the villians "won", Universe 2 grew villians to deal with the hero's, them probably more hero's in an effort to create homeostatis. Nature on a meta and metahuman level.

Okay...another anon raised a good point. Where the fuck did these other heroes come from? There's no way in hell they're the children of the original six, so where the fuck did they come from? Visitors from another dimension? Science experiment gone terribly wrong/right? Shape-shifting aliens. Psychic projections? Mystical artifacts? The "Monitors" came back? WHAT?!?!?!

>>88783240
Maybe the aliens had done this superthing to the humans before. And when they gave the originals power it set off whatever was inside them to start the super arrival.

This could have ended on a much much much more sour note. I'm glad we got a least this glimmer of happiness. Also we dodged a huge fucking bullet with Fitz's kid. Anyone happen to know which Super he turned out to be?

>>88783760
Lol alright, honest answer.
1. He met his end at the ends of a villain, but that seems unlikely as I think he was still operating when Hutchence was a kid so he probably didn't die in the period to a villain or they would have incorporated said villain.
>That last statement is a HUGE stretch.

2. He died from AIDS
>I know this is horribly stereotyping but this was a serious issue decades ago.
>Also this is Millar, are we really going to say this is something he wouldn't do?

3. He retired years ago and hid himself away, but this seems unlikely as if he was still operating he more than likely would have been recruited by Chloe (unless he encountered a setback years ago that makes it near impossible to fight crime).

>>88783762
>implying the kid didn't smother his father with a pillow in the night

>>88784237
