MILWAUKIE, Ore., (August 29, 2024)— Dark Horse Comics continues to produce both new series and new editions of Millarworld staples for fans of iconic comics stories. Mark Millar and Dark Horse can now announce two more series that will receive the signature oversized hardcover Library Edition treatment. Jupiter’s Legacy Library Edition Volume 1 and Chrononauts Library Edition will both feature a hardcover volume with a dust jacket, ribbon bookmark, and gilded edging. With more announcements on the horizon, fans must stay tuned to Dark Horse news and social media for more news about everything hitting bookshelves and comic shops in 2025 and beyond. Jupiter’s Legacy Library Edition Volume 1 collects Jupiter’s Legacy Volume 1 and 2 together. Volume 1 is written by Mark Millar (Civil War, Kingsman) with artists Wilfredo Torres (Subgenre, Jupiter’s Circle), Davide Gianfelice (Earthdivers, Northlanders), inker Francesco Mortarino (Power Rangers, DUNE: The Waters of Kanly), colorist Ive Svorcina (All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, Secret Wars), and letterer Peter Doherty (Grendel Tales: Devil May Care, Shaolin Cowboy), with cover art and chapter illustrations by longtime Millarworld collaborator Frank Quitely (Jupiter’s Circle, New X-Men). Volume 2 is written by Millar, with Torres, Chris Sprouse (Star Wars, Tom Strong), Gianfelice, Rick Burchett (The Batman Adventures, Justice League America), and Ty Templeton (Batman Adventures, The Batman and Robin Adventures), inkers Walden Wong (Dr. Slump, Deadpool), and Karl Story (Nightwing, Star Wars), as well as colorists Svorcina, and Miroslav Mrva (Ghosted, Red Wolf), chapter illustrations by Bill Sienkiewicz (New Mutants, Moon Knight), lettering by Doherty and cover art from Quitely. In 1929, six friends were called to a mysterious island and returned home with superpowers. The story that unfolded is like none before; a huge mythological tale that explores everything from superheroes enforcing their real-world politics on humanity to the secret, alien origins of the human race itself. Jupiter’s Legacy covers three generations of heroes in a vast trilogy described as The Lord of the Rings for superheroes. Jupiter’s Legacy Library Edition Volume 1 (of 3) arrives in bookstores on March 11, 2025, and in comic shops on March 12, 2025. This 312-page (8” x 12.1875”) hardcover collection of Jupiter’s Legacy trade paperbacks volume 1 and 2 will be available for $49.99.

Written by Mark Millar, Volume 1 features co-creator and artist Sean Gordon Murphy (American Vampire, Tokyo Ghost), colorist Matt Hollingsworth (Preacher, Daredevil), and letterer Chris Eliopoulos (Savage Dragon, X-Force), with cover art created by Murphy. Volume 2 includes Murphy, artist Eric Canete (Martian Manhunter, MARVEL: Komanda), colorist Giovanna Niro (Big Game, Nemesis: Reloaded), letterer Peter Doherty, and cover artist Pasqual Ferry (Heroes for Hire, Doctor Strange). A satellite is blasted back through time, beaming hazy pictures home to the present day from the American Civil War. Now it’s time for the first manned mission as Chrononauts Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly step back into the past on live TV with the whole world watching with bated breath. But of course, it all goes wrong, and they find themselves lost in the time-stream, and time itself is running out. This book also contains Corbin and Danny’s second adventure, this time blasting into the future and discovering why the human race has never been invaded by time-travellers. This story is about the Professor who taught the boys everything, and his terrible secret is jaw-dropping.
