I have a feeling that Repro was originally meant to be Kasey from SuperCrooks.

Millar said that the SuperCrooks would have cameos but that never came to pass, and she's done this already.

Was there ever an explanation for Wolfe's yarmulke? He was a "Hans Landa" type who just happened to be Jewish? Sounds like surface level "irony" from ol' Millar.

See you around

>>93660210
Well, I'm fucking retarded - it's listed right at the bottom.

Jupiter's Requiem!

And also, SuperCrooks 2 is out later this year.

I won't be ready to die until I track down Mark Millar and force him to explain how Brain-Wave could just light up Skyfox like a Roman candle...this will haunt me.

>>93660260
I figure it's tied into their standard psionic powers.

>>93660151
lets replace the stars with a maga hat. I love it.

>>93660341
But that would completely undermine the speech she's making...sorry kid.

>>93660341
I think it's just someone throwing their cap up

>>93660047
>>93660038
This is fucking clever.

>>93660210
I don't know how he can expand on J.L. short of making everything suck again, which would be a shame.

>>93660480
Well, since this is a generational story - Requiem will probably focus on Kid Utopian all grown up and trying to figure out who and what the aliens were.

>>93660480
It's going to be the ayy lmaos, they built up that recording device and its message. Kid Utopian's going to crack it

>>93660281
Damn I always forgot about that. That's almost silver age level fuckery

>>93660509
YESSS

>>93660166
millar had to be a faggot

>>93660853
What's your fucking problem

>>93660158
>why do we love our children so much?
goddamn, what a tragic character.

>>93660038

Hrm... so in the end Walter had victory in his grasp and ended up dying entirely from his own hubris. Kinda disappointing but it's very Millar.

I like Neutrino's costume, simple but appealing and the orange visor's a nice touch, i hope i can find a full picture of it soon.

>>93660091
No because he was shielding himself or something, he was sandbagging his attacks to make him lower his guard.

>>93660116
>>93660128
I fucking love Skyfox costume

>>93659927
I completely forgot about this. How long ago was the last issue?

>>93660047
This is the most satisfying page I've seen so far this year, I've waiting for Walter to get his.

>>93661519
today

>>93660047
It makes me wonder why he never did this before, but it's so satisfying I'm waving it.
>>93660158
>why do we love our children so much
aw geez

>>93659927
what's this about? the plot seems meh tier but the tight spandex on everyone gives me boners

>>93662285
It's a generational story told in three maxiseries.

The first is called Jupiter's Circle and about the original superteam and their personal lives.
This is the second called Jupiter's Legacy about their kids and how the stuff from the first has caused rifts, detachment, and basically they have to learn how to be heroes.

>>93662285

Few can render a crotch bulge as lustily as Frankie Q.

I can't believe Skyfox dies such a lame death despite being one of the OG heroes.

>>93663077
Just realized, The Heat would have totally lost that bet.

Quitely art is always a treat.

>>93660047
>Millar's desire to do something cool overcomes his desire to plot once again

>>93660086
Bit silly that the Big Bad Wolfe dies to this given what he tanked before.

>>93663077
Yeah. I feel like this is the most complete and competently executed superhero thing Millar has ever done, and it works on a lot of themes he's tackled before but better, but it still has these Millarisms in the action that kinda throw you. Not like I care that much, this had some of the best action scenes I've seen in the whole 4 years it's run.

>>93660047
Thanks Dave, just found this series from your story time. I feel privileged to have skipped the 4 years and enjoy it start to finish in the last 24 hours.

>>93660932
A politician he doesn't like became president in a fictional universe.

>>93660151

>>93663781

>>93663781

The one in yellow is the girl who can shrink to subatomic size who's name I already forgot maybe it's Photon?

>>93663829
Neutrino.

Is the guy in blue the ice guy?

It has been so long that I don't even remember, the last time I read it they introduced the guy who was a tracer or something.

>>93662342
Like a JSA? that's interesting

>>93663939
Yeah, pretty much.

What do you think Jupiter's Requiem will be about? The mysteries of the ayy lmaos finally being solved?

>>93663998
Likely.
And about an adult Jason since otherwise the structure would be screwed haha.

>>93663998
yeah, i think mostly adult kid utopian finding out about the ayylmaos and also his grandfathers' works, especially skyfox's research into whatever he was into in seclusion. i honestly just hope the new circle is able to run things relatively smoothly.

>>93664212
I hope SuperCrooks 2 is able to tie that into this main saga a bit more. It's part of the family tree, and with the new status quo - it'd be interesting their dynamic/

>>93660260
So I went back and read that myself and the sequence is:
>Skyfox produces a wave of flame to throw back the younger heroes
>Brainwave hits him with a more concentrated flame and incinerates him
Quitely makes it clear the flame on Skyfox is more intense, and the dialogue is about Skyfox sitting around getting old. I think George really did just not come up to par - it makes sense. He'd truly retired, whereas Brain-Wave had been using and refining his superpowers constantly. He might've had more raw ability but he was too long out of practice to win.

When I read the issue first, I just assumed it was a dupe. But reading this one and thinking it's not, it's not as bullshit as I assumed either.

>>93664276
Can you tell us which characters are standing beside the others when Chloe gives her speech?

>>93659961
Yeah, One is the Wanted Earth (where Wanted, Chosen, MPH, Marvel 1985, Kick-Ass, Nemesis, Secret Service/Kingsman, and Superior happened) and the other is the Jupiter's Circle/Jupiter's Legacy Earth (where Supercrooks also happened).

>>93664366
where does Empress, Reborn and Starlight fit in

>>93660022
That's not what "sonic boom" is, Millar. Sonic boom is when something goes superfast. Speaking of which, I'm supposed to believe she couldn't take off into supersonic flight and create a sonic boom this way? Come on. That's just dumb.

>>93664415
All on Wanted Earth.

>>93661433
How can you shield yourself from teleportation with an external shield? What kind of shield this even is?

I mean, damn. Millar had ten issues to establish rules and laws and stuff, and extra twelve with Jupiter's Circle, and we know almost fucking nothing. Logic of this world is criminally underwritten, just saying.

Also how did they release the criminals? I'm supposed to believe that Supermax, this super-duper-impossible to break out of-prison had a 'release everyone' button just lying around? Without even something like two-man rule?

How the fuck did noone BEFORE break out of it? That's just bad writing.
I knew Millar will need to do some heavy bullshit to wrap up the entire series in one issue, but that's just extremely disappointing overall.

>>93660232
So is SuperCrooks in the same universe or not? Because I'm confused.

>>93664578
>How can you shield yourself from teleportation with an external shield?

It's a star trek shield.

Wait a second, was the sonic boom thing a reference to the sonic boom gun Skyfox used to incapacitate the giant squid monster from the first issue of Circle?

>>93664658
Yeah, it is.
The first is set inbetween Circle and Legacy and Kasey, Johnny Bolt's girlfriend, is Walter's daughter.

There's a sly reference in the previous issue that Jack Frost sold Skyfox's meeting table to Johnny Bolt.

>>93660055
>If she went microscopic, she'd take a million years to get there
I wish more writers realised this and used it in size changing superhero stories.

>>93661821
kek
>>93662285
plot is admittedly weak, (>>93663437
) but it's Millar... the art is great, and the story has plenty of emotion and heart, even if cheesy and overly sentimental at times.
>>93663077
yeah, it was surprisingly quick and somewhat underwhelming, but Walter gets rekt in a similarly brutal fashion so I guess it balances out
>>93664366
I don't like this idea desu, not everything has to be a shared universe and Wanted Earth just makes things messier and ruins suspension of disbelief for series like Kingsman or Wanted, since you have demons/Hell (Superior), aliens (Empress), and some sort of weird afterlife that doesn't really make any sense (Reborn)

>>93665841
>I don't like this idea desu, not everything has to be a shared universe and Wanted Earth just makes things messier and ruins suspension of disbelief for series like Kingsman or Wanted, since you have demons/Hell (Superior), aliens (Empress), and some sort of weird afterlife that doesn't really make any sense (Reborn)

Yeah, if you think about it for one second - it makes zero sense haha.

But it's an idea that Millar is very keen on so...you just gotta accept the broadstrokes. Also in Reborn it is revealed that there's a proper afterlife, presumably heaven

>>93659998
What exactly is the problem with this son of a bitch? Pop and Mom were too busy saving the world to have time for him or was it the other way around?

this comic is one of the few things that makes cape comics still worth reading

>>93660116
I think I missed an issue, how did Skyfox die?

>>93664415
>where does Empress, Reborn and Starlight fit in
>>93664454
>All on Wanted Earth.

>>93665841
>I don't like this idea desu, not everything has to be a shared universe and Wanted Earth just makes things messier and ruins suspension of disbelief for series like Kingsman or Wanted, since you have demons/Hell (Superior), aliens (Empress), and some sort of weird afterlife that doesn't really make any sense (Reborn)

Has he ever said Empress or Reborn were part of Wanted Earth? I didn't follow his board regularly in a long time. The only ones I know he outright confirmed were Wanted, Chosen, Marvel 1985, Kick-Ass, Nemesis, MPH, and Secret Service. And at one point Unfunnies was included though I'm getting the impression he's trying to stay away from that.

If it were just those it would still work since covering up is what the Wanted supervillains do a lot. The only wrinkle is probably Superior since the battle would be very public. But if you go by the theory in Wanted that comics are really the creators trying hard to remember the superheroes, Jupiter's Legacy existing as a comic in Kick-Ass 3 would mean that the supervillains' hold has been weakening because the Utopian and Skyfox's villains were all wiped out.

>>93667434
He's said that Empress takes place in the far past, and that he had ideas for a crossover with other properties with Empress.

And basically the overriding feeling is that if the Earth doesn't have the "every other block is a superhero" then it's Wanted Earth.
And I mentioned in Reborn we are shown that there is a proper Heaven-like thing going on.

And yeah, this entire thing gets a billion holes once you try to put it together with any real sense.

>>93667434
>>93665841
Also the demons/Hell thing would fit Superior with Chosen. But not only that remember that in Wanted, Mr. Rictus was a pious man who went evil because he when he had a near-death experience he believed there was no afterlife. And then in The Unfunnies, Troy Hicks said that there was no afterlife, but he was doing satanical stuff. At one point on the Millarworld forums, Millar said that Troy Hicks was one of Satan's friends who raped Jodie in Chosen. Millar since removed the rape part in the new printing of Chosen, but the implication here is that Troy Hicks and Mr. Rictus indulged in evil when they were convinced there was no afterlife.

>>93667546
Also, it's right that Millar has cast out Unfunnies entirely.

It was also notably not included with the Art of Millarworld artbook, and he's pretty much talked up every other bit of his creator owned properties since then.

Honestly, you reminding me of Rictus makes clearer how another pious character in Reborn reacted to the "Warrior World" afterlife. Wonder if she would have renounced her faith as well.

>>93660196

Does this have to do with how all the MIllarverse stuff is connected?

Was there ever a chart on that or anything? Supercrooks is in the same universe as JL from what I recall and most everything is fictional to the Kick Ass Universe.

>>93667633
Only Circle, SuperCrooks, and Legacy are fictional to the Kick-Ass universe.

Everything else is in the Kick-Ass universe.

And yeah I made a chart up but it became silly to use it since "Earth 2" is just one series and a spin off.

I liked it but I have to agree with >>93664578

While they are cool scenes and I don't mind them being a bit anti-climatic they missing an impact on me.

Then again it could also be because there was always a big gap between the issues.

>>93660128
>>93660158
I like this tight spandex on Kid Utopian

>>93659927
Ooooh shit, bump.

>>93659954
Man do I love psychic battles.

>>93660011
What the fuck Brandon

>>93667604
Didn't Millar disown Unfunnies because his wife found out about it and lost it on him, and in the process of trying to explain it to her he realized just how awful the book was?

>>93668165
The crow was sucking cock for a REASON

>>93668165
is it really that bad?

>>93669017
Read it and see for yourself.

>>93660078
How did he already know that?

>>93663688
>>93660932
No, it's because the page can be interpreted to imply that the current elected president in real life is a dictatorship, because Millar might be a faggot

>>93669260
if that's the case this is some advanced levels of retardation, that whoever posted the initial reaction should seek medical aid.

>>93669017
It's worse.

>>93660151
Utopia means 'No Place' right? So trying for the perfect place is just going to fuck things like the previous ones did

>>93659935

>And here we go...after around 4 years from issue 1.

so what's the final issue coming out rate? seems not horrible for Quitely?

>>93670779
10 issues over 4 years is 2-3 issues a year.
So not so bad.

>>93670761
yes, etymologically speaking, but it originally meant "fictional place", and evolved into "fictional place that is ideal". striving for a utopia does not necessarily mean fucking things up, as long as people who are striving for certain ideals are mature enough to realize that the path is progressive and overnight changes won't have strong enough foundations to support said ideals. having said that, i'd love to read a story where a ridiculously powerful group of meta-humans like the jupiter's circle infiltrate the system and force progress through both inspirational acts and subterfuge, instead of wearing clown clothes and parading around and chasing after petty criminals.

>>93667546
wait wait wait. so was there really a afterlife in wanted and what is connected to the wanted universe

>>93671211
Everything but Jupiter's Saga and SuperCrooks.
Also not Unfunnies because Millar has banished that.

And yeah American Jesus and the ending of Reborn reveal there is a legit afterlife beyond the setting of Reborn.

>>93671346
so its a welp you died at the wrong time kind of thing or you sleep in a rotted body till afterlife.


also any mega downloads for reborn and A jesus

>>93671383
Who really knows?
It's one of those things that doesn't really check out.

Either Rictus should have gone to the "Evil kingdom" in Reborn, or just Hell if he was bad.

There ain't a nothingness. Just one of those things that doesn't work when ya put them together.

>>93660210
We can only hope he doesn't die before completing it. Sucks when that happens.

>>93671719
Depends on who draws it.

It's not going to be Quitely.

>>93667115
Really? THIS is what you consider to be one of the best cape comics currently ongoing? Hell, Astro City blows it out of the water in that regard.

What a surprise, another Millar comic that ends up being completely generic. And again, the only thing of note about this book is the art. Why is it that Millar only has two styles of writing? It's either edgy, juvenile shit or completely generic movie pitches in comic form.

>>93659927
Thanks Dave, the hero we deserve etc.

>>93660047
FUCK YES THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN IN A COMIC ALL YEAR

>>93673215
yeah i agree, this is really mediocre

Honestly it was pretty good. Millar seems to be finally outgrowing (or at least tamping down) on his edgelordy bullshit. There's a lot of brutality in this comic but compared to even the stuff Millar used to do in Ultimate Marvel it feels a lot less gratuitous and much more in service of the story.

That said, there wasn't a ton of stuff I didn't feel like I'd seen before. Lots of dudes getting anticlimactically ganked, powers all taken up to 11, last-minute reversals and the stuff I've pretty much come to expect from a Millar/Morrison Joint over the last 15 years.

>>93673732
That said Dave, you're a hero for posting this
