Nemesis created by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven
Nemesis Reloaded is a five-issue comic book series from writer Mark Millar. It is a soft reboot of Nemesis, Millar's 2010-11 four-issue comic book miniseries that he created with artist Steve McNiven.
Nemesis: Reloaded is drawn by Jorge Jiménez; colored by Giovanna Niro; and lettered by Clem Robins. In the new series, Nemesis has plans for Los Angeles and its ruling class. By the time he is done, the city won't be the same, nor will its top politicians. And maybe the secrets of Nemesis will be revealed.
Nemesis Reloaded #3 opens in Los Angeles, a city under siege. Nemesis has just snatched up another chief of police, and it is time for him to start revealing to a specific set of men why he is killing them … deliciously. Who is Matthew Anderson? How is he able to create a suicide bomber? And can the National Guard save L.A. from the kind of chaos one only sees in zombie movies?
THE LOWDOWN: In my reviews of the first two issues of Nemesis Reloaded, I talked about how they fit in the tradition of the groundbreaking and daring comic books of the 1980s, especially of the early to mid-1980s.
With Nemesis Reloaded #3, Millar and his (handsome) artist-cohort, Jorge Jiménez, have gone past daring. Let's be honest, dear readers. If bosses of Marvel or DC Comics of the 1980s had allowed their star creators to do what Millar-Jiménez is doing here, the corporate overlords would have fired them – maybe even cleaned house.
The more violence Nemesis unleashes on L.A., the more I love reading this comic book. It feels like a drug. The simple truth is that I enjoy reading Nemesis Reloaded so much that I would do anything … anything … if I could just read the rest of it now. Seriously, this pure pop confection of crazy, sexy, cool violence is a great read. It is the kind of invigorating, big-action, high-octane entertainment that movies usually give us.
We get all this, and Millar and Jiménez still have Matthew's origin story to tell. I think they are going to drag us through broken glass to read it.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of comic books that make readers beg for more will desire Nemesis Reloaded.
A+
