Jupiter's Legacy 2 #2

Frank Quitely's cover for this 2016 Image series puts a mustachioed superhero front and center — arms spread wide, grinning with unmistakable confidence, his blue-and-gold costume catching the light against a swirling green background scattered with red petals. There's something both triumphant and slightly unnerving about that smile, which suits Mark Millar's generational superhero saga perfectly. With Quitely on art duties and Sunny Gho's colors giving everything a lush, painterly warmth, this is a series that wears its ambition proudly.
