Review! Nemesis TPB (Marvel/Millarworld)

COVER: Steve McNiven. Always a nice cover by McNiven.
STORY: Mark Millar. Why had no one done this story before? It seems so obvious. At first read it feels
                like a "Batman gone villain" story, and that would have stood up just fine by itself. Then at the end
               of the book (this collects the four issue series) we get a "Charlies Angels meets Fantasy Island"
                finish and it changes how the story feels. One thing that bothers me about the story is that we are
                not quite sure what powers Nemesis has. Is he a super powered villain, or is it his suit?
ART: Steve McNiven. McNiven is just a good artist. Any book he touches is golden.
FINAL FILE: Buy, Read, Shelve it!
