In April 2015, it was revealed that Lorenzo di Bonaventura  was working on finding  a home for Millar and Quitley's limited series, Jupiter's Legacy.  While doing press for Deepwater Horizon, he provided an update on the project, revealing that he thinks its actually better suited for television.  

Talking to THR, Bonventure stated, "I have a project with Mark Millar, who wrote [the comic that became] Kingsman: The Secret Service, that is a superhero project: Jupiter's Legacy. What attracted me to it was it's not repeating what everybody else has done. It's not yet set up at a studio. Its universe is so expansive that it's, in some ways, more conducive to a television treatment. I'm doing it either way."

The comic takes a realistic approach to superheroes and looks at how  Millennial super-powered beings would deal with standing in the shadow of their parents while striving to make their own mark in a world saturated by pop culture and social media .

Last June, it was revealed that  Brian and Mark Gunn were working on the screenplay.

Still haven't read this series mostly because I'm not the biggest fan of Millar. Though I'll probably check it out eventually.

@TandAFanboy - I've been reading a lot of his work for the first time and I like some... but sometimes he writes some seriously retarded shit.

@ALostCause - Yeah I think most of them have pretty great ideas, but the execution is all over the place. Also I find that he has a tendency to write things just for shock value.

@TandAFanboy - exactly.

I just read ultimates for the first time

"Hulk so horny!" I believe was the line.


But then there's stuff like hulk's inbred family in old man Logan, and I thought that was handled awesomely lol

I dig the first arc. Haven't read part 2 yet. I wonder if Richard Dreyfuss is still attached to the role of Walter Sampson

EXCELLENT comic.
I hope the show is as intense and brutal as the comic.
