Plot
This comic continues after the events of BIG GAME, where Matthew Anderson/Nemesis is bedridden as a high-security prisoner. However, his health is critical, but his mind continues to plot his next plan for global control.
Nemesis is like a perverse, inverse version of Batman. To complete this ambiguity, he needs to recruit his Robin, only this partner must be insane as an initial requirement. He seeks him out in a very dangerous juvenile prison in Brazil. He's named Pedro, but christens him Rookie and begins training him, just as he was trained by Wesley Gibson of the Fraternity of Assassins.
Nemesis and Pedro continue their mission to steal as much money as possible by posing as millionaires and playboys to blend in with the upper class. This will allow them to achieve a status that will allow them to be above the law and become even more clandestine, thus furthering Nemesis's plan for global control.
This comic reveals a little more about the cult Nemesis belongs to, helping him carry out this macabre plan and always having to repay him with a sacrifice. It also introduces new enemies from Nemesis's past who come to collect what he stole from them. It's a comic about revenge and whether second chances are really worth it.
Mark Millar once again captures our attention with a story full of action, extreme violence, and revelations that nourish this universe of characters, which blends magic with science fiction.
Nemesis returns, more profane and determined to recover everything he lost.
Art
Valerio Giangiordano presents art with many textures adorned with shadows, where the facial expressions are so clear and well-recreated that they make you feel Nemesis's wrath. His anatomical scales are robust, which makes this villain even more terrifying. Each panel is striking and unforgettable. The color palette is cold and focused on a sepia tone.
