I love that Jack Hobbs is obviously the setting's Lex Luthor, and that Millar invoked Red Son Lex's " worked it out to the last decimal point years ago " just to go " Jupiter's Legacy v2 is definitely coming out in the same year as this ".

Skyfox continues to be the actual best character in this whole series, and the true hero of this comic

It's like Millar looked at Oliver Queen's "rich guy bitching about the fatcats" era and decided "How can I do this and make a character look LESS like an over-privileged asshole..."

Still can't help but think "that escalated quickly" when he jumps from flipping some cop cars to kidnapping the VP.

Now if he were to force the leaders of America and China into a fistfight so they'd stop waging a bloody proxy war then that'd have some great early Superman energy.

Man, the Utopian might be a square, but even he feels gross enough after being praised by Ayn Rand to reconsider his whole approach to crimefighting.

Hmm. Another OOTS reader in the wild? Greetings!

Golden age Superman was a good balance between Skyfox and Utopian. Though Utopian could do more I don't think the status quo dig really applies till Jupiter's Legacy.

"Moral Objectivism" might be the second most repulsive two words I've ever seen put together

Ayn Rand remains the ultimate litmus test for assholes.

The only good things that can be said about her is that she was pro abortion and against the Vietnam war. And like...if the ONLY good things anyone can say about you are that you're in favour of women not being controlled by fascist misogyny and against america invading sovreign nations and murdering innocent people that's a pretty piss poor testament to the life you've lived because for any NORMAL person being in favour of that first thing and opposed to that second thing is just the bare fucking minimum
