Netflix - Jupiter’s legacy : Discover the great trailer

By Mulder, 07 april 2021

“My one and only ambition was to create the biggest and best superhero story of all time with these books. A big, self-contained Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones with superheroes. I worked at Marvel for 10 years, I did Superman at DC, and I just wanted to take all the skills I’d picked up reinventing their characters and employ them to create the biggest franchise I could possibly imagine. This starts in the 1920s and runs until the end of time, so the story predates both Marvel and DC Comics, and covers everything from the meaning of life to the biggest secret in the universe with literally a hundred different characters. I spent eight weeks doing notes in 2012 — my office looked like a serial killer's room, there were little Post-Its all over the place, and strings attached to some of them. I worked out the backstory for the whole 100 years and I couldn't wait to start writing the script. The artist is as much a co-creator of a comic as the writer, and Frank Quitely brought this story to life. It took the two of us to craft the comic. And the comics are still going. The final volume, which is 12 issues long, will be out June 2021.” – Mark Millar
