The superheroes finally saved the world and turned it into a Utopia—just in time to lose it forever to someone who wanted it more.
It started with a call from an island in 1929, a desperate man receiving messages in his dreams to come and save America. It ends with his children and grandchildren discovering that the superpowers he received in that strange place was the beginning of man’s greatest reckoning.
What are we and who made us? These are the questions the superheroes face as they look into their horrific origins all those years ago, but it’s a question we ask ourselves too as the Earth’s creators return and we find out what’s been planned since the dawn of man and the pivotal role the superheroes play in our destruction.
Regarded as one of the most ambitious superhero stories ever told, this epic tale covers the third generation of superheroes as we go into the future and find out about mankind’s final days on Earth. This volume is the stunning conclusion to a comics saga twelve years in the making, a major Netflix series and a crowning achievement for the creators involved.
Mark Millar is a NEW YORK TIMES best-selling author, Hollywood producer, and now president of his own division at Netflix after selling his publishing company to the world’s biggest streamer in 2017. He also signed on to exclusively create new comics, TV series, and movies in-house as a senior executive.
Adaptations of JUPITER’S LEGACY, SUPERCROOKS (in the form of a Japanese anime), and AMERICAN JESUS (adapted as THE CHOSEN ONE) have already been released. THE MAGIC ORDER, REBORN, SHARKEY THE BOUNTY HUNTER, PRODIGY, KING OF SPIES, EMPRESS, MPH, HUCK, and a live-action SUPERCROOKS are being put together now.
Previously, Mark worked at Marvel Comics, where he created THE ULTIMATES, which was selected by TIME magazine as the comic book of the decade and described by screenwriter Zak Penn as his major inspiration for the movie THE AVENGERS. Millar also created WOLVERINE: OLD MAN LOGAN and Marvel’s CIVIL WAR. CIVIL WAR was the basis of the third Captain America movie, and OLD MAN LOGAN was the inspiration for 20th Century Fox’s LOGAN.
CIVIL WAR remains Marvel’s biggest-selling graphic novel of all time, and his seminal SUPERMAN: RED SON is the highest-selling Superman graphic novel in history. In 2020, RED SON was also released as an animated feature.
Mark has been an executive producer on all adaptations of his books and worked as a creative consultant to 20th Century Fox on their Marvel slate of movies.
