I haven't followed any of Millar's Jupiter stuff since the first mini, I think. Last bit I read was the timeskip and the reveal that the kid had powers. Stopped reading due to the delays, but very intrigued by the premise and characters. Excited to go through this now, thanks Dave

As always I hope someone out there enjoyed this.
I sure did. See you around.

He didn't really kill Skyfox

This was pretty good. I had never heard of this before this thread.

>>93620917
randomly wandered into the first thread because i liked utopian's costume, not even a regular comic reader. thanks a bunch man, loved it.

>tfw skyfox is the only character I can relate to, even though unlike him I never even tried.

Thanks a bunch for the storytime. This series is riveting when taken as a whole.

>>93620019
>Giant with short blonde hair and teeny tiny shorts

sweet jesus muh dick

>>93620917
Fuck man this is such a good read! Thanks DD!

>>93620689
>Wears regular clothes to fight
>Lived life in his Dad's shadow
>Didn't particularly want to be a superhero
>Uses a 'cosmic rod'

Can't help but think Hutch has a deal of Jack Knight to him.

>>93622265
Well, like has been said, Blue Bolt was the Starman analogue - Hutch is definitely riffing on Jack Knight.

>>93622310
Millar has far better taste than I thought.

Though anything is a cut above Goats.

>>93620360
HABBENING

>>93622265
>>93622310
I think he's kind of a mix of primarily Starman but also Green Lantern.

Remember how in Wanted that Millar brought forth the theory that comics were basically people trying hard to remember the heroes but weren't fully getting it? Sort of like how Mike Moran was trying hard to remember his magic word? And that the supervillains don't do anything about it because not as many people read comics?

So the implication for the Wanted Universe is Joe Simon remembered the name "Blue Bolt" but not the character. Jack Burnley and the DC editors unwittingly were trying to remember the actual Blue Bolt but got the design wrong and ended up with Starman. Same with Bill Finger and Martin Nodell with Green Lantern Alan Scott. And you could imagine that 90's Starman was James Robinson trying to remember but was conflating Blue Bolt, Skyfox, and Hutch, and New 52 Earth 2 Alan Scott was Robinson starting to remember that Blue Bolt was gay.

>>93623462
You also should take into account that the Jupiter's Saga is itself not a perfect duplicate of the original Wanted universe.

That version had Solomon Seltzer, and this had someone completely different who ended up reformed. I take this as the primary reason why the same events didn't happen. Seltzer had the idea to begin with, and without him Skyfox (a nominal hero even when a villain) took the charge of the supervillains.

>>93623523
Actually this brings up a good point, has Millar ever confirmed that Parallel-2 from Wanted is the Jupiter's Legacy universe? Cause it would make sense if it was (and would fit in with the idea that Wanted is a sort of Earth-1 and Jupiter's Legacy is a sort of Earth-2). Wesley described Parallel-2's America as "An America identical to ours in every respect except two decades older and still crawling with these gaudy-looking superfucks" while Seltzer said "the superheroes have had twenty more years to breed on Parallel-2". But Seltzer did say there was a team-up between the villains of two worlds so parallel Earths might be public knowledge back when superheroes were around, and they might know of Blue Bolt from the Jupiter's Legacy universe.

On the other hand the team on Parallel-2 is called the Liberty Union.

>>93623772
Nope, all he's said is that the universe is what the world would have been like without the villain uprising.

I don't think it's Parallel-2 since it's not 20 years older and seems rather contained.

>>93620818
This can't be the end of Skyfox, can it?

I get that anti-climaxes are all the rage right now, but come on.

When did Walter develop the power of spontaneous combustion?

>>93620505
BTFO HARD

Thanks dave. Thoroughly enjoyed rereading through this universe.

But where's Blue-Bolt and The flare?

>>93624229
Probably dead.

>>93623853
i doubt it, i don't think he'll survive to the end, but this doesn't feel like a proper death.

>>93624229
>>93624403
probably, but after reading everything in one sitting today i want to see or read what happened to them.

It was a good read but one thing that really bugs me and bitters the whole thing is everyone turning against the Utopian. It didn't make sense. They should have made it more explicit that the bad dude was mind controlling all the other heros.
