Synopsis
Action! Excitement! Explosions! The Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort, or H.A.T.E. (a subsidiary of the Beyond Corporation) put Nextwave together to fight Bizarre Weapons of Mass Destruction. When Nextwave discovers that H.A.T.E. and Beyond are terrorist cells themselves, and that the BWMD's were intended to kill them, they are less than pleased. In fact, they are rather angry. So they make things explode. Lots of things. Starring Monica Rambeau (formerly Captain Marvel and Photon), Aaron Stack (Machine Man), Tabitha Smith (X-Force's Meltdown), monster-hunter Elsa Bloodstone and the Captain! Guest-starring Fin Fang Foom! This title collects "Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E." numbered 1-6.

Warren Ellis ist Freunden der Comicszene kein Unbekannter. Mit Nextwave legt er nun schließlich einen Comic vor, der (nach eigener Aussage) so wie Authority ist... nur ohne Handlung. Die Handlung ist tatsächlich nur Nebensache. Bei Nextwave geht es eher um Action und vor allem Humor, der besonders bei den Rückblenden zum Einsatz kommt, die auch mal bekannte Superhelden in weniger rühmlichen Situationen zeigen. Wer sich auch mal mit "leichter Kost" gut amüsieren kann wird hier bestens bedient.
Der Graphicstil entspricht am ehesten einem Computercolorierten Manga und passt durch seine poppige Art wunderbar zum Inhalt.
Fazit: Nicht Anspruchsvoll, aber ungeheuer Unterhaltsam.

The Comics Should Be Good! blog has spent 2009 covering a year of cool comic book moments -- three of which, so far, have come from nextwave.I didn't know anything about nextwave but I know amusing when I see it and this bit from issue #9 which mocks a key moment from Ultimate Avengers is amusing. So, I decided to try it out.
I'm not a Warren Ellis uber-fan. I think he's a good writer and have enjoyed some of his runs on more traditional super hero books (his Ultimate Fantastic Four work was really enjoyable, for example) and I really dug The Global Frequency but I'm not a fan boy so there's lots of his stuff I haven't read. I don't know his specific pecadillos and tropes. And, also, while I've been a fan of comic books most of my life (even as I couldn't afford to maintain the book buying habit in the 90s), I don't keep up with the conventional wisdom of comics fans of the day. I buy what I like (which, generally, are relatively smart or familiar super hero books, and writers or characters I enjoy) and leave all the hemming and hawing about the downfall of the funny papers to other folks.
So, what I learned while reading this initial volume of nextwave is this: comics satire is good -- in small doses which is probably the point of the whole thing. Nextwave is about the gratuitious spectacle that makes up the Marvel and DC lines these days. Explosions, death, giant boobs, expletives. This is what makes "cool" in the mainstream of the medium right now. It's what sells. It's what gets promoted. It's what they know how to do. It's the Blockbuster Economy as Jeff Jarvis calls such markets in What Would Google Do?. So Ellis and Immonen give us an overwhelming amount of it in non-stop fashion. It's ludicrous and absurd and, at times, quite funny.
It's also beautifully drawn.
What it isn't, at least for me, is a quick read or a page turner. I usually bang through trade paperbacks in a day or two when they are really good. It's the entire benefit of a collection. I don't have to wait a month for the next chapter. It took me well over a week to read this volume and it's not very long. I just couldn't stay in that world of shoot `em ups and crass jokes. While I get the point being made, it's not why I read comics and not what I enjoy most about them.
I'd only recommend for the fan boys that will appreciate the inside jokes or those interested in really good art. It's got that in spades.

One of my favorite comics EVER.

I'm only recently getting back into comics and I spent the first couple of years reading the serious stuff - Preacher, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Doom Patrol. I read Ennis and and Miller and Morrison and Moore and Gaiman and Ellis - the literary lights in comic-dom who helped bring more critical acclaim and appreciation to the form.
And then I read NextWave. And it kicked my fleshy-one face.
Do not buy or even read this book if you have no sense of humor. Do not waste your time. If you can't appreciate movies like "Wet Hot American Summer," if your heroes are sacred to you, then move along because there's nothing here for you except irritation and aggravation.
For me though ... every single page is brilliant. I read dialogue to friends of mine over the phone and while some of them are bewildered (broccoli men? Dancing critters? Fleshy ones? Captain @#$*?), most of them get it.
It's filled with in-jokes that refer to other comics, new and old. If you aren't familiar with the reference though, it doesn't take anything away from it (however, I suggest reading the Ultimates before reading NextWave - it really will make one of the jokes MUCH funnier). It's filled with absurd dialogue, absurd violence, absurd plots and it's awesome.
It's a comic for those moments when you simply want to see a bad guy get their face kicked and a hero say something completely stupid as they do it. Reading NextWave will also help you understand other comics, like what MachineMan says the things he does in Marvel Zombies 3.
But really, I don't think anyone could write a review which truly does this comic justice. You need to be able to laugh at your heroes, not in any mid-1980s deconstructionist way, but able to laugh at their quirks, foolishness, etc. as they fight completely over-the-top opponents and say completely insane things.
I adore these two volumes. I treasure them. I make friends with them when I make people borrow them. They may well be the best comic I've read to date simply because they brought the sheer joy and pleasure of reading a comic for a comic's sake back when lots of things seem to be dour and serious and grim and ... well, you get the idea. NextWave is bright, cheerful, filled with robot brains that need beer, fleshy ones, kicked faces and face kicks, and broccoli men. Lots and lots of broccoli men. Absolutely extraordinary work which may - StormWatch, the Authority, Transmetropolitan, Orbital, Ocean, Doktor Sleepless, FreakAngels, etc. aside - be Ellis' best work.
