10 Anti-Valentine’s Day Comics

2. Nemesis - Mark Millar & Steve McNiven

Nemesis Mark Millar reunites with his Marvel: Civil War artist Steve McNiven to bring us the bloodthirsty superhero action comic, Nemesis. Dressed like Batman (except all in white) Nemesis leaves a bloody trail of destruction through Asia, killing thousands in the process, before turning his sights on the President of the United States! Nemesis kicks off at a blistering pace as he evades dozens of police squad cars, SWAT and army vehicles, blowing them all away, in his coldly calculated €“ and seemingly unstoppable €“ plan to murder the President. The comic is filled with frenetic action and the body count by the end is ridiculously high, even surpassing the numbers from Millar's earlier work, Wanted. McNiven's artwork makes the comic look slick and amazing as the action scenes are flawlessly executed and the number of ways Nemesis offs his enemies are inventive and brilliant. Nemesis is one of the most exciting and blood-soaked subversive superhero comics you can read €“ and you should, it's terrific!
