It’s a story I’ve been thinking about for the past five years. It’s a massively ambitious project and planned as an enormous trilogy, the first one being I think the best thing I’ve ever written…What I’m proposing here is a universe of characters, who have been around for a while and a vast network and world we can play with…This kind of scale, this event-level storyline, is something I don’t think I’d have been ready for before. This is what I’ve been building to.

Co-created with Frank Quietly, Mark Miller’s Jupiter Legacy tells the story of the offspring of Earth’s greatest superheroes who fail to live up to their parents’ reputation. However, a family battle ensues causing one half to stage a rebellion while the other half goes into hiding. The war at home soon becomes a war that has drastic consequences with the world.

The series recently wrapped up its five-issue run; with a prequel series Jupiter’s Circle is hitting shelves this month.

This marks Miller’s fifth comic book series being adapted for the big screen with Wanted, Kick-Ass, and Kingsman: The Secret Service all becoming films based on his work with his next one being an adaptation of Chrononauts.
