Nextwave

    (Marvel, 2006-2007)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

Writer/creator Warren Ellis aptly described Nextwave as a “super-hero team book as Attention Deficit Disorder Anime.” Mixing D-list Marvel heroes like Machine Man and Photon (formerly Captain Marvel) with an especially aggro Nick Fury parody named Dirk Anger, Ellis exercises his well-known low regard for the super-hero idiom while also bending the genre to suit his purposes. Salted with quippy dialog and mild political parody, Nextwave’s assertively over-the-top destruction/explosion antics come with a parental advisory notice even though the venerable Fin Fang Foom’s still got his purple underpants on.

Look for Ellis to squeeze in some subtle character development between the laughs and enjoy Stuart Immonen’s bold illustration.
