You can see how Ellis and Immonen's intent was to scandalize Bendis, Millar, Miller and readers while having fun when this series was released. Lots of fun, sometimes too much. Five stars missed by an inch for me. Jan 22, Eric rated it it was amazing Shelves: humorfavorite-comicsscience-fictioncomedyfantasyyoung-adultcomicssuperheroesactionadventure. It could just be that I simply haven't read enough Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - The Complete Collection them, but "comedy" and "funny" aren't words I associate with comics, even though comedy is the oldest genre comics and cartoons have been associated with. Comedy relies a lot on timing and delivery, which in my experience isn't easy to simulate with a series of still images with words in them. Most of the time a comic book only gets a smirk or a "heh" of amusement out of me since most comic book writers and artists just aren't as funny as the It could just be that I simply haven't read enough of them, but "comedy" and "funny" aren't words I associate with comics, even though comedy is the oldest genre comics and cartoons have been associated with. Most of the time a comic book only gets a smirk or a "heh" of amusement out of me since most comic book writers and artists just aren't as funny as they think they are. I have never L aughed O ut L oud so damn much because of a comic. Imagine if Matt Stone and Trey Parker were allowed to write 12 issues for Marvel, with their only restrictions Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - The Complete Collection no cursing and only allowed the use of obscure Marvel characters especially considering Nextwave has it's own theme song. Sometimes bleeping is funnier than actual cursing, which is the case here, and if you don't know who Elsa Bloodstone Nextwave, Agents of H. While Ellis and friends make fun of everything silly and nonsensical about superheroes, Nextwave is also a pure distillation of the reason why any of us first picked up a superhero comic: FUN! That Nextwave is so gleefully and unabashedly fun and funny is something that I feel can't be emphasized enough. To make a comic book as fun and funny as possible is a simple goal, but simple is by no means easy judging from the mass of comics that are so damn tedious and take themselves way too seriously. Plus, it has some of the greatest double-spreads in the history of comics. View all 13 comments. Sep 20, mark monday rated it it was ok Shelves: comicon. Didn't even realize it was written by one of my favorites, Warren Ellis. I skimmed it back then and saw, aghast but also amused, that this version of my buddy Machine Man had eschewed his formerly friendly although rather emo personality. As written by mean, cynical Ellis, Machine Man is now a mean, cynical robot, prone to casual anti-human racism I bought this a while back due to Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - The Complete Collection MAN, Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - The Complete Collection favorite obscure superhero and my template for living life as a robot but you know, with empathy. As written by mean, cynical Ellis, Machine Man is now a mean, cynical robot, prone to casual anti-human racism which I totally getdownloading beer directly into his skull which I also totally getand capable of transforming himself into a deadly, larger than life Swiss Army Knife which I'm totally jealous of. He's part of an ensemble full of similarly amusing comic creations. This is a comic comic book. Unfortunately, I think Ellis actually has a very unfunny sense of humor. That flat teenage snark that probably sounds badass to the teen delivering it but is often eyerolling to me. Boring snark rather than wit. Still, this is Ellis, so even if the humor is stupid and broad, the story itself is pretty smart: a full-bore satire of everything Marvel, Morrison, and even past Ellis efforts. View 2 comments. Mar 30, Patrick rated it it was amazing. Want a little bit of the old ultraviolence? Looking for some sharp-edged satire? Crave banter that is witty to a near whedonesque degree? Those things are in this thing. If you want them, you should read this. View all 6 comments. Jun 24, Cheese rated it liked it. I was drawn in by the hype of this book. This isn't really a comic with Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - The Complete Collection substance, just a team on different whacky missions blowing things up. A shame there wasn't more to it.

No amount of description could ever adequately describe the insanity going on in these 12 issues, so the only thing you can do is just go and read it. It's the anti-Avengers for the me generation Nov 18, Martin rated it liked it Shelves: reviewed. Warren Ellis obviously had a LOT of fun writing this book maybe too much?

Art-wise, Immonen went for a style that is somewhat more stylized than his usual output and the frequent "overly-cartoony-ness" of it did not exactly jibe with me. I do recommend this book to fans of Warren Ellis, to people who don't mind a book that doesn't take itself too seriously, or to those who want to try something different. The Marvel Retro Rundown: Ellis & Immonen's NEXTWAVE - The Beat Listen up, fleshy ones! Does the over-the-top adventure hold up for a first-time reader? What, does it sound nonsensical and over-the-top? When you attempt to simplify what makes this book great, you realise that this is the perfect blend of writer and artist. His characters initially come across as funny joke machines without much else to them but Ellis perfectly peppers in glimpses into their pasts that connected me to them fairly quickly. As far as I know, there are only two previously established characters on the team with Monica Rambeau and Meltdown. This honestly may be the quintessential superhero look; vivid, expressive characters with crisp and concise action scenes. I love that despite the relatively short length of this series, each story comes in digestible two-part arcs. It keeps things short and sweet, and the stories are a lot more memorable as a result. More scenarios offer more chances to get to know these characters, which I consider to be brilliant writing. This point has been Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - The Complete Collection by others already, but the Warren Ellis Forums jumpstarted a lot of careers and gave rise to new voices we otherwise would not have heard if not for his contributions.
