Warren Ellis is awesome. Pretentious, drunk, chainsmoking, and full of hatred, but awesome just the same. This very month his new 12-issue book NEXTWAVE will be out. My prediction? It will be... oh just guess it already. NEXTWAVE'S got it's own theme tune which is the greatest song ever written by a human being.

"It's like Shakespeare but with lots more punching!"

Apart from the Warren Ellis writing, Stuart Immomen's on the pencils. Immomen's also a genius. Check the covers on the Newsarama preview out!

And if you need more convincing, here's Nextwave's cast -

You can't but not LOVE something which has a character named DIRK ANGER. And, ooh, MACHINE MAN IS BACK.

magnum out.

Guest-starring Fin Fang Foom!!!


I officially don't care about anything else in this comic. Not even Elsa Bloodstone's tracts of land can tear me away from FIN FANG FOOM!!

This requires my investigation.

Dude, Fin Fang Foom, the Dragon What's Last Name is a Sound Effect? I might have to check this out too.

You got me convinced! Beer-drinking machines are always a plus.

And because this will be the first comic I'll be buying in... oh, 2 years at least, here's another Nextwave preview. With added script!

Dirk Anger's firmly earned himself a place in my heart.

When Warren first started posting about this with pretentious pop-art Andy Wharhol-esque Pulp Fiction mock-up coverart, and sketches of that Buffy the Vampire Slayer chick ripping engines out of Jeeps with a guitar smack, while openly admitting it's an FLCL reference, I said "meh~"
Mostly because the ONLY thing I associate Warren Ellis with is comic-snobs too smart for funnybooks... and his homoerotic adoration of Corey Sutherland Lewis.

Then I heard the theme song.

Which I find to be a horrible piece of music... that I can't help but love.
How can I hate something with the lines
"It's like the Titanic, but the boat is still floating...
NO IT'S NOT, THE ******** IS EXPLODING!!!"

(Which he claims he had nothing to do with, and that the song is all his editor's idea...)

And then I went and looked up the characters...

So now, with the promise of Boom Boom, Fin Fang Foom, mindless explosions and totally useless beer drinking robots, I am indeed eager to see just what NEXTWAVE is bringing to the table.

Besides, I've always like Stuart Immonen's art... since like, X-Men Annual #1. This looks as good a title as any to showcase his awesome.

Awww.... ********. I'm gonna buy a MARVEL COMIC?? I haven't done that since Ryan Kinnard drew that Titsn'a** fest Pheonix. T___T

Holy ********, BOOM BOOM is in it? Like NEW MUTANTS Boom Boom? Seriously?

Yuji - YES.

And the theme song promises Midget Hitlers and more explosions than you can shake a pointy stick at!

It's a change of tone from current Marvel's offerings either way... what with Crisis events and Spiderman turning into a man eating monster and all that > sad

Don't forget the Green-skinned purple-pantsed people eater, who rips Eastwood-Wolverine in half... and Nick "Samuel Jackson" Fury.

Nextwave scans courtsey of scans_daily. Worth looking at, if only for Fing Fang Foom's secret origin.

I NEED THIS SO I'M OFF TO THE COMICS SHOP EXCEPT IT'S 1 IN THE MORNING HERE.
