Jupiter's Legacy Issue #1 Review

So you like the Walking Dead Television show, or Scandal, Arrow, maybe the Vampire Diaries. Have you seen Kick Ass and or Iron Man 3. Well this is for you, some serious next level Superhero stuff with a bit of Atlas Shrugg thrown into it. Jupiter's Legacy is the latest from Mark Millar and Frank Quitley the team that is responsible for current iterations of the Avengers we all now know and love that are now cannon that's used for television, animation, and video games.

The tale that Millar and Quietly brings us takes place in alternate United States of America where Superheroes come and save America from the "Great Depression" as early the 1920's. A man named Sheldon Sampson takes his girlfriend and his close friends to an island outside of Cape Verde that he saw in a dream. In this dream the island says he can save America but coming to it.

The comic moves the story to one hundred years later Sheldon and his sweetheart,(now his wife) and friends are still fighting crime. Things couldn't be better except their kids are spoiled little jerks. These jerks are the true stars of this story.Hence the title of the comic, I am guessing the island is Jupiter and legacy means some children. Sheldon's own prodigies are indulgent screw ups who only really care about endorsements and trying "space drugs". One look at their son Brandon Samspon in his element enjoying his doeses of the double headed hydra of fame and the spoils that it provides, lets you know their parent's pride in country has not been assimilated.Their daughter Chole' ends the first issue comic with an atomic sized dentonation after a dalliance with said space drug... 

Jupiter's Legacy is an awesome comic book it pushes the boundaries of Superhero lore past the point of what is a comfortable approach to the genre. I give it 10 out of 10 Planets-thegqlife

Welcome to the GqLife!

Hi! Welcome to my blog first I am Garrick, I created this blog for polymaths and I realize that this may be jarring but people that are polymaths do exist! Most polymaths are women due to them being groomed to become Mothers one day. I think everyone can agree that Moms do multiple things well all the time and invent new and efficient ways to do things. This blog is for them and for those who know there is no real limitation on human expression. Thegqlife will cover everything in the dictionary; first thing I will cover because I am greedy is cooking!

 My first post will cover preparing Mother's Day 2013 Breakfast amazingly quick and super cheap. It will post on Saturday, May 11th the day before Mother's Day 2013. 

Have a great week out there!

From my mind,

Garrick
