Nemesis: Rogue's Gallery #1

Nemesis remains one of Mark Millar's coolest creations and perhaps one of the most fun comic book villains since The Joker. I really enjoyed this opening issue of the sequel to Big Game and look forward to seeing how things unfold as our favorite villain finds and trains his sidekick, which is something we'll get to see in the next issue. Hopefully, we'll also see more of the people seeking revenge on Nemesis. Read Full Review

NEMESIS: ROGUES' GALLERY #1 sets the world's most evil killer loose on the world again with a new mission to rebuild his empire and take his revenge on the superheroes who defeated him. Mark Millar's script is unapologetically fierce in portraying Nemesis as a man who should be feared under every circumstance, and Valerio Giangiordano's artwork infuses menace and intimidation into every Nemesis glare.

Even knowing what happened in Nemesis Reloaded and Big Game won't make this somehow more exciting either; in fact, it might make the impact of those particular stories, whatever they might have had, feel lessened. Read Full Review

Plot This comic continues after the events of BIG GAME where Matthew Anderson/Nemesis is bedridden in a hospital as a high security prisoner, his health condition is critical, he cannot even eat without help, that is taken care of by a nurse, who is the only one who treats him well.

At this moment, he authorizes them to eliminate everyone and leave blind the nurse who was helping him. A mysterious group of people then approach this nurse, offering to cure his blindness in exchange for his loyalty in eliminating Nemesis.

Once recovered, he needs to pay the debt and is going to rebuild his extortion network and fortune, for that he goes to Brazil and in this place he plans to recruit his partner from a psychiatric hospital. Accompanied by his wife Margot, he heads to this Latin country. Nemesis is like a perverse and inverse version of Batman, to complete that ambiguity, he needs to recruit his Robin, and this sidekick must be insane as an initial requirement. Like a tsunami of revenge, Nemesis will regain his physical abilities and prepare his next attack on the planet's heroes. Mark Millar once again captures attention with a story full of action, extreme violence and revelations that nourish this universe of characters, which mixes magic with science fiction. Nemesis returns more profane and with the determination to recover everything lost. Art Valerio Giangiordano presents an art with many textures adorned with shadows, where the facial expressions are so clear and well recreated that they make you feel the wrath of Nemesis. His anatomy scales are robust, which is what makes this villain the most frightening. Each panel is striking and unforgettable. The color palette is cold and focused on a sepia tone. Summary Nemesis seeks to recover everything he lost in the Big Game, for that he needs all the help he can get. The most unfortunately violent and profane villain returns for revenge more
