Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. #11

The Nextwave squad takes a charmingly unconventional approach to public relations on Stuart Immonen's cover for issue #11, marching with protest signs reading "We Don't Care," "Please Love Us," and — in a gleeful bit of meta-humor — "Mark Millar Licks Goats," as the team's distinctive lineup parades front and center. The cover's tagline, "Not Part of a Marvel Comics Event," paired with a bold "Civil War?" makes Warren Ellis and company's irreverent attitude toward 2007's crossover landscape crystal clear. If you've been following this series for its sharp wit and kinetic energy, this issue's cover promises that the fun is very much still intact.
