JUPITER'S LEGACY 3
The beginning and the end. Things come to a head for all members of The Upotian's family. Issue four will jump ahead nine years, so we can see the fallout from decisions made here, and I'm looking forward to seeing just how screwed up things become. While I'm generally not a Millar fan, Quitely could illustrate and instruction manual and I'd want to read it. This feels like Millar might be maturing. While he still goes for the occasional shock value, this isn't as immediately offensive as something like Wanted or Nemesis. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens, not only in the future, but back on that island all those years ago.

SAGA 14
I read this a few days ago, and was just flipping through it again now trying to figure out what to write when I saw "Royal Baby Bump?" on a TV in the background of a panel. This is why I love the book. Saga is a story of imperfect people trying to live their lives as best they can, with gorgeous, expressive art by Fiona Staples, set against an incredible sci-fi backdrop. With sometimes hilariously ridiculous things, like flying sharks and a baby seal in overalls harvesting plants, and tiny background details you may not even see the first time you read it. You either get it or you don't.

ZERO 1
The book everyone's been talking about, and for good reason. 30 pages, no ads. All action, intrigue, and drama from start to finish. It's books like this that people break out the word "taut" for, since there's not a single wasted panel or word in this book. I've heard Ales Kot's name get thrown around for the last year, but this is my first exposure to him. From now on I'll be paying closer attention. The art is by Michael Walsh, and though the artist will change for each issue of the series, he does an excellent job illustrating the action and the few quiet moments. Highly recommended, and for only $2.99 you really can't go wrong.
