NextWave, Agents of H.A.T.E.: Ultimate Collection by Chris Eliopolous, Stuart Immonen, Warren Ellis, Dave McCaig, Joe Caramagna, Wade Von Grawbadger
5.0
I don't know what was wrong with me at first. Using Marvel Unlimited, I read this entire series--but after the first few, I was ready to give up. I didn't hate it, but I didn't particularly like it, nor did I understand the hype. It was goofy, had no character development, and was far too random.
Than, towards and after the end of the first volume, I fell in love with it. There's still not a lot of substance--some minor character development, often accompanied by ridiculous ideas that somehow work, and the storyline itself doesn't really exist.
But damn is it fun.
There's just something hard to resist about it. If you go in expecting something deep and tragic, something that will change your life, you're going to despise it. But if you walk in expecting essentially the goofiest parts of "Rick and Morty" with all the intelligent bits taken out, you should be able to appreciate what silly greatness "Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E." has to offer, you'll put the book down smiling and satisfied.
