Note: This is a spoiler-free advance review of Jupiter Jet #1, which will be released on December 6.
You have to admire Action Lab Entertainment for the versatility of their comic book lineup. The publisher recently wrapped Spencer & Locke, a dark, Sin City-flavored and strictly adults-only spoof of Calvin & Hobbes. Now they're shifting to the very other end of the spectrum with Jupiter Jet, an all-ages superhero comic more in the vein of The Rocketeer. This industry can certainly use a few more all-ages titles, and it appears that Jupiter Jet will do its part to fill that niche.
The Rocketeer comparison is unavoidable, as this series also features a jetpack-wielding protagonist fighting injustice in a steampunk-flavored setting. Fortunately, there's plenty else to distinguish the series. Teen heroine/orphan Jacky Johnson isn't punching out Nazis, but rather robbing the rich, zeppelin-riding elite of Olympic Heights and using her ill-gotten goods to support her younger brother and their various downtrodden neighbors.
