Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen
H.A.T.E.
So, out come the gunchucks.
The book works as a tongue-in-cheek parody while still serving as an entertaining story on its own terms.
The numerous fight scenes manage to convey an impressive amount of movement despite the stark art style.
Sexcastle himself is an insanely likable hero, and the story wraps itself up in a surprisingly sweet way.
Cold War paranoia, superheroes-as-arms race, memory-as-propaganda.
The books satires are sharp, spending considerable time skewering celebrity culture and big business.
And then is also killed on the last page of the second issue: but at a younger age.
Its an art-driven book, of that theres no question.
Liews pages contain stunning detail and texture, but also fantastic body language and variety of characters.
Theres even room for experimentation with the form.
Its like nothing else youve seen, and that makes it worth your time.
A long-gestating film adaptation ofEthel & Ernestis finally in active production.
