Nextwave (Director's Cut)

Marvel's Nextwave (Director's Cut) is a single-issue reprint from 2006 that collects the first two issues of Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen's notoriously irreverent twelve-issue series. A loving parody of corporate superhero team-ups, it follows a ragtag group of C-list Marvel characters as they violently reject their own publisher's continuity. The "Director's Cut" label offers fans a chance to see Immonen's kinetic, bombastic art in its original pencil form, alongside Ellis's biting script. It's a compact artifact of one of the most gleefully anarchic runs in modern Marvel history.
