Wytches from Image just started back in October but there was already a fair amount of buzz around it after the initial announcements it was on it’s way and with Scott Snyder writing & Jock on art there was good reason for that.

Jupiter's Legacy #1

The much talked about, much-hyped team-up of Mark Millar & Frank Quitely hits with #1 of this latest title from Image.  Millar, Quitely AND Image – sounds like a winner before we open that issue but does the title deliver what we’d expect??
