Nextwave (Director's Cut) #1
"Nextwave" kicks off with a bang: five misfit heroes have minutes to stop a giant lizard monster from devouring a town—wearing nothing but purple underpants. Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated with kinetic energy by Stuart Immonen, the cover by Immonen captures the absurd, high-stakes chaos of a 2006 Marvel comic that’s as sharp as it is ridiculous.
