Jupiter's Circle, Vol. 1 by Mark Millar
3.0

Well Jupiter's Legacy you are not. I ordered part 2, so it might change my mind. However, let us discuss volume 1.

This is the past. So if you read Legacy you'll see the old original team from those books shown in full color here. You got the gay guy who's trying to hide his identity, the super sayian Superman father from Legacy and mother. You have his evil piece of shit brother. You also have the best friend, who becomes bad, or does he?

See I wanted to love this but didn't. Because Cliche hit it like a ton of fucking bricks. Like I've seen all these stories done a million times (and sometimes better) and it hurts the overall story because it's not done particularity well. Executed okay, but not all that well entertained. As you can see I don't remember anyone's name lol.

Also the art is a little tame. It grew on me but it's not even close to the original.

Overall I'd say it's worth reading to the backstory of these characters but I have to say, I'm a tad upset it wasn't more engaging. Especially coming from Legacy which is damn fantastic.
