It’s not often you find more ladies than men in a super hero group comic, nor is it often to find a lady leading that group. And it’s even less likely to find a hilarious, weird and ludicrous super hero comic either. The Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort put together NEXTWAVE to fight Bizarre Weapons of Mass Destruction. When the group discovers that H.A.T.E. are really terrorists themselves and that they intended to kill the NEXTWAVE, they become rather angry. So they blow things up. All the things. Like the cover says, “they heal America by beating people up” except without the healing part and more emphasis on the beating. Ellis has taken five C-list Marvel characters and slapped them together to form a team who then fight with some of the weirdest – and legit – Marvel concepts. There are some really funny one liners and I’m pretty sure my neighbours think I’m crazy because nobody should be laughing that hard at 2am.
