One of my favourite characters, and who couldn't love a comic where the aliens and monsters are the good guys and the humans - with the exception of a courageous few who resist the prejudiced and genocidal majority - are all evil?

Kevin O'Neill's art is utter genius, the kind you can lose yourself in as you unpick the intricacies and details of it. And I love the Victorian glory and stupidity of the gothic empire, from before steam punk went twee. Mar 08, James Aggas rated it it was amazing Shelves: ad. I've been a fan of AD for nearly ten years, but this was the first time that I checked out this popular character. I can see why he's remembered so fondly. While the opening prologue chapters were ok, allowing for a little bit of science fiction, satire and of course, thrills, it really kicks off with book 1. The considerably longer page count allowed not only for both character and world exploration, but also, despite still being set in the future, there's a slight but noticeable shift in g I've been a fan of AD for nearly ten years, but this was the first time that I checked out this popular character. The considerably longer page count allowed not only for both character and world exploration, but also, despite still being set in the future, there's a slight but noticeable shift in genre from science fiction to epic fantasy. This allows for a lot of gorgeous and highly imaginative artwork from both Kevin O'Neill and Bryan Talbot. Book 4: The Gothic Empire is especially great at showing off exactly what kind of story Nemesis the Warlock can be at times, merging fantasy, science fiction and steampunk all in one. I'm also really enjoying Pat Mills's growing ambition with his story telling, aiming for one, long epic that connects to other key storylines, particularly ABC Warriors, with book 4 feeling like not just a crossover but also a direct sequel to the earliest ABC stories. These characters are arguably given more depth since their original stories, and I'm looking forward to reading more about them, both in Nemesis and in their own series. If there's one thing I'm not quite so keen on, it's the number of times Torquemada is defeated in a big way, despite the fact that we know the story will continue and that he will, once again, come back. It gets just a little bit repetitive after a while. However, this is only a slight peeve, as overall, the writing is great at convincingly telling one long epic that has a beginning, middle and ending rather than an ongoing series of "adventure of the week" type stories, and Torquemada's many defeats is one of the only things that almost breaks that kind of storytelling. Overall, I've really, really enjoyed reading this initial volume, and so far it's enough to make Nemesis one of my favourite comic book characters like many AD characters, really. It's bold, epic, satirical, dark, subversive, not to mention gloriously 80s, this is a classic example of why I enjoy reading AD. Feb 16, Alexandre Szolnoky rated it it was amazing. My first time reading this collected works by AD, and I was very impressed by the edition's quality and printing. The story is very interesting, and most important of all, it was fun. Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill have serious twisted minds, I loved the characterization and the artwork is top-notch. All the parts are fun to read, and sometimes everything is really silly and exaggerated, and I loved it. Sometimes there are errors in continuity and things get really confusing, but it's part of t My first time reading this collected works by AD, and I was very impressed by the edition's quality and printing.

Watch ye for the mark of the deviant! The tentacle and claw! The scaley skin, the bug eyes! The cloven hoof and paw! With sword and axe and mace, we cleanse and purify! We never show any mercy, all aliens must In the grim darkness of the future, there is always, it seems to be, war. As far as AD comics go, that is. This time we're "thousands of years" into the future. The mighty human Termight empire rules half of the galaxy and is governed by a fanatic purist group of inquisitors called Terminators. At the top of it, all is the worst one, Torquemada and he is bent on cleansing the universe of alien scum. Nemesis that's a character name is the one heroic alien that tries to get the resistance going and convince the other galactic inhabitants to form the Cabal to oppose the empire. This book collects the stories from to and can be split into distinctly different parts. The majority is drawn by Kevin O'Neill and while the art is fine, it's not something breathtaking. There are two exceptions and that's where the dark world of the future starts to look way more gorgeous. I'll mention it when I get to it. For now, let's start with the first two stories, Terror Tube and Killer Watt. They're pretty short and are the first tests of the characters. Pat Mills says in the introduction that the fans didn't like very much the overall zaniness but did like Torquemada himself and that probably led them to tweak the formula significantly later on. The most amusing thing I find is that the titular character is nowhere to be seen. He is always inside his living spaceship and the only word he says, periodically, is "Credo! In the next part, Word of Termight numbered book one of the series , we finally see Nemesis and I find his design somewhat meh. The stories all proceed in a consistent order, Nemesis saving his fellow aliens from execution and ending with a big melee fight with Torquemada possessing the corpses of the fallen inquisitors. You see, back at the beginning he died and became a ghost able to get into the dead bodies and animate them. Book two has a different artist, Jesus Redondo, and I find his work much more to my liking. His thicker, more curved lines are much more pleasing to my eye. The storyline this time deals with the group of Terminators that are on the arachnid prison world. The catch is that the spiders are benevolent, highly intelligent, and are trying to reform the prisoners. The war is almost over, the empire is demoralized by the apparent death of its Finally, in , Mills and artists Henry Flint and O'Neill wrapped up the series with Book Ten: The Final Conflict, and an epilogue of sorts, Deadlock , which explored the political state of Termight in the aftermath of Nemesis' and Torquemada's deaths. O'Neill's imaginative, grotesque art helped to establish the popularity of the series, but the efforts he put into creating it led to a low rate of productivity. This and the higher rates of pay available in America led O'Neill to leave the series prior to Book four - although a handful of episodes he had drawn just after "Killer Watt" introduced the fourth book. O'Neill was replaced by Bryan Talbot. O'Neill returned to the strip to illustrate its intended last ever episode and later for a special anniversary story.
