12 years after it launched, Mark Millar’s superhero saga Jupiter’s Legacy is drawing to a close with a new five-issue series from Dark Horse Comics. The aptly-named Jupiter’s Legacy: Finale will see the world’s heroes trapped on an alien world, just as Earth faces the threat of invasion.
Jupiter’s Legacy started life at Image Comics, butmoved to Dark Horse with the rest of the Millarworld catalog last year. The publisher’s synopsis for the final chapter of this sprawling saga reads:
“The lineage of America’s superheroes is on the brink. They’ve grappled with internal scandals, personal demons, and the constant threat of raising children in a world teetering on the edge of destruction. The struggle to understand the origins of their powers and the looming threat of heroes and villains to humanity has been a constant battle. Now, the superheroes find themselves trapped and murdered on an alien world, while the enemies of Earth, who have long envied our planet, seize the opportunity to launch their invasion.”
Jupiter’s Legacy: Finale #1 is published by Dark Horse Comics on October 16.
Last year Mark Millar talked to us about The Ambassadors, calling it the"most ambitious comic book of all time."
