McNiven is great here. The work feels European. The one thing I would change is to provide Niven with another inker who would give thicker lines to his work. It reminds me a lot of Frank Quietly in the shaky lines that populate the pages. From afar, it all looks like solid. Close by, you see the irregular lines that permeate the work. Read Full Review

A quick and savage read, "Nemesis" will stay with you long after you've put it down. Read Full Review

However, if the book doesnt attempt anything as interesting as what I'm hoping Millar intends, then it definitely needs to provide stronger characterisation and more originality of plotting in forthcoming issues because, at this stage, it almost feels as though somebody has written an uncannily accurate pastiche of a Mark Millar comic and convinced an A-list talent to illustrate it.

Nemesis #1 is a solid offering popcorn for the brain. The reader need not engage their mind. Just sit back and enjoy the action packed adventure ride. I would definitely only recommend Nemesis #1 to action junkies. Most other readers will probably find Nemesis #1 too shallow and unsatisfying. Read Full Review

Millar has made a name for himself as the master of spectacle driven, in-your-face comics, and his past work has entertained me enough to convince me Nemesis deserves the benefit of the doubt. At times, when Millar is riffing on a few age old Joker tropes, you can almost sense the story about to spring to life. Sadly, though, it never does in this first issue. The ideas just kind of sit there while Millar and McNiven wave their hands and try to grab our attention with violence and potty language. It's kind of a bad sign when you derive more entertainment out of a comic's text afterward than you do the comic itself. Read Full Review

In a prose afterword at the end of the issue, Millar thanks readers for having enough faith in him and McNiven to pick up this book. His assessment of the series potential success is right on the money. So far, its creators reputation is the biggest thing Nemesis has going for it. Read Full Review

None of this is necessarily a bad thing, though, but it's important that the difference be pointed out. It still reads as good entertainment, but it's just that: good entertainment. Though it's only the first issue, everything is a little more spoon-fed than it needs to be and the next issues are going to need much more to them for Nemesis to rise above being considered anything more than shameless fun. Compared to it's hype, this book doesn't exactly deliver as cleverly as was hinted at, but it does set up what may be a fun "Rated R" action-fest of a story. I'm giving this one a C.

What if the smartest, toughest costumed bad ass in the world (Batman) dressed all in white but was totally evil? He'd be Nemesis, of course, and he has systematically been destroying the lives of various police chiefs around the world--and now he has set his sights on the chief of police in Washington, DC.

Even the cliffhanger ending of "Nemesis" #1 is uninteresting. It's the sort of moment that we've seen in countless issues of "Avengers," "Justice League of America," "X-Men," "Batman," "Captain America," and probably even "Firestorm." You should never get to the end of a comic and find yourself thinking, "That's it?" Unfortunately, that's exactly what you'll get. Even our supposedly crafty and clever hero (we're told he is such because that's why Nemesis wants to spar with him) uses such a tired and clichd way to stop people holding up a convenience store that it makes you wonder if the bad guy is targeting the wrong man. I'm not a fan of Millar when his comics turn into a series of increasingly ludicrous moments, but I actually found myself yearning for something crazy in "Nemesis" #1. In-your-face Millar, as it turns out, is preferable to boring Millar. Read Full Review

This is a dull, lifeless story that is mostly violence for the sake of violence with absolutely nothing to back it up. At least Millar's KickAss had some heart to it and Wanted was an interesting commentary on the postWatchmen comic book industry. This, on the other hand, is just an uninspired mess that is nowhere near the level of quality that readers can normally expect from Millar and McNiven. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one at all costs. I wish I had. Read Full Review

Or, at the very least, wait for the trade if you are still interested. Like most Millar stories, this has a good premise and concept, but it lacks any kind of subtlty or execution. Should make for an entertaining movie, but it's seriously lacking on the comic book side of things. Read Full Review
