At the end of the day I thought the complete story was better than that mediocre first issue.

But I must say that the whole idea was better as a movie script rather than an actual comic book.

Nemesis was just the opposite of everything i'm looking for in my action funnybooks. I don't how to say it, but if you asked me what i did want, i would just point at it and say "Not that."

Waid's What If Superman Were Evil is just better on every level than Millar's What If Batman Was Evil.

I still wouldn't say Nemesis is bad on those terms, it's still pretty entertaining, if a little outlandish and over the top.

Then again, Irredeemable is just better because Waid decided to commit, seriously, to a working schedule and deliver a monthly series, simple as that, if Miller had a little more vision Nemesis would've been better.

Same with Aztek and The Flash, where I think Morrison did a lot of the work there. His Authority, Ultimates and Wolverine: Enemy of the State are big dumb fun. After that, I dunno. I really loathed Kick Ass and what I read of Wanted. Just vile, hateful stuff. Not my scene.

THIS.

Can we call this post the Mark Millar Bible?

You get the feeling that Miller is rubbing himself with that fancy Hollywood money while writing Nemesis.
