Nemesis Forever is a five-issue comic book miniseries from writer Mark Millar and publisher Dark Horse Comics. It is a sequel to the miniseries, Nemesis Reloaded (2023) and Nemesis Rogues' Gallery (2024). Besides Millar, the rest of the creative team is comprised of Matteo Scalera (artist); Giovanna Niro (colors); and Clem Robins (letters).
Nemesis Forever finds that Nemesis, the world’s most dangerous man, has now made himself into one of the richest. No longer content just to terrorize the forces of law and order, Nemesis has a new plan: seize control of the world itself and enslave humanity with super-technology. For now, Kitty Tepper a.k.a. Sofie Stein, a CIA deep undercover agent, may be the only person who can impede Nemesis... at least a little.
Nemesis Forever #5 opens in San Francisco as Nemesis – in his “Hans Berg” tech billionaire identity – makes a move to take out a tech rival. However, it all comes to a screeching halt when Nemesis discovers the truth about Sofie Stein. Now, Nemesis may be faced with making his final stand.
However, Sofie Stein, who is really CIA agent Kitty Tepper, is finding her time undercover with Nemesis terrorist cell, “Nemesis HQ Number 5,” starting to run down. Now, Kitty has to make he final stand.
THE LOWDOWN: This is the second time that I have been on any kind of list that provides PDF copies of titles published by Dark Horse Comics. Nemesis Forever #5 is the latest PDF that I have received.
The “Nemesis trilogy”: Nemesis: Reloaded, Nemesis: Rogues' Gallery, and Nemesis Forever, comes to an end and reveals the fate of the world, which Nemesis had planned on ruining and then ruling. The ending is classic Mark Millar as the ending plants interesting seeds. More than that, Millar resolves this story in a most shocking manner, contriving a way of overwhelming a super-powered being that has previously seemed incapable of ever being overwhelmed – at least the way other stories presented him.
In Nemesis Forever, artist Matteo Scalera and colorist Giovanna Niro produced some of the prettiest art to appear in a superhero (kind of) comic books over the last decade. Scalera and Niro's storytelling here is a bombshell of beauty and brutality, and the result is a visually and graphically gripping narrative. I must also shout out letterer Clem Robins. He does not let himself get left behind because his lettering is as tight as ever.
Dear readers, I said that we should expect a crazy ending. We got the crazy and the unexpected.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Mark Millar's comic books of his Nemesis series will desire Nemesis Forever.
A+
