Review: NEXTWAVE vol. 1 by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen

This is a comic book, and a funny one, which isn't as redundant as it sounds. In this country, comics are dominated by superheroes, and superheroes stopped being funny in ever. But this book is hilarious.

Writer Warren Ellis takes several unused characters (and one new one) and throws them into a S.H.I.E.L.D. story that's been cranked up to a ridiculous extreme. Stuart Immonen is one of the top artists in the industry, and draws in an angular style that perfectly suits the frankly insane story.

The series was only 12 issues long, and volume 1 contains the first six. I liked it a lot, and I highly recommend it for anyone else who likes comics.
