(B+) 78% | Good
Notes: A loosened-knot expected plot, like checking off a list, though does suffice and ending's nice: a cool conclusion twist.

I've read the whole 5 issues now and all I can say is that its exactly what I was expecting. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary from the series, Nemesis has always been a series as deep as a rain puddle on the road. I wasn't expecting for the full rebirth route to be taken since I thought it would be too out of the blue with no buildup but they did it, baby Nemesis looks pissed as hell. They had the real Sofie make a phone call and make us think it would build up to something only to kill her off screen and also did not develop the characters at all, the men that kitty worked with had useless character traits to them at the start that didn't make sense to add because they were never used. One of them was literally pointed out saying that he has a thing for 70 year olds yet goes on to try to sleep with kitty (after punching her a day or week prior) and then mercilessly try to kill a old woman as if it wasn't made clear that he has a thing for old women, and the other two didn't get light of day. Also the deal with nemesis said that who ever killed him would die at his hand yet he killed himself so I don't get it. It just all felt rushed, they were trying to do too much with their 5 issue limit and felt rushed and that the ending wasn't really planned out until the last few pages. I hope this really isn't the end, I love nemesis as shallow as he is, I guess I'm looking at it though the edgy rose tinted glasses of when I was 13.

Está claro que Mark Millar tiene más que cariño por Némesis, ya hasta parece que realmente todo lo referente a Big Game era para justificar estas nuevas miniseries que retoman al personaje y lo convierten en esa renombrada Némesis (sic.) de su Millarworld... Es justamente por esta suposición, que me frustra bastante que Némesis Forever siga siendo un espectáculo vacío que solo vuelve a plantear un hiatus argumental para el personaje tras su "comeback" en Reloaded y el "balance de daños" de Rogue Gallery. Aún llegando a plantear un último número que podría poner las cosas en verdadero suspense aunque sea por la parte más humana de la historia con la agente encubierta embarazada, ya daba por temer que el guionista hiciese ese doble rasero en mostrar las hiper gráficas masacres de Némesis pero no cumplir con el sacrificio maternal aunque fuese en vano... Pero es cierto que en estas miniseries se ha revelado un contexto sobrenatural para Némesis y esto provoca ese cliffhanger que bien puede dar a pie a un retelling de La Profecía que podría de verdad aprovechar el desarrollo infantil y juvenil de básicamente un Anticristo terrenal, o solo quedarse en esa sardónica viñetal final amamantando el hype de quien espera algo más de Mark Millar.

What an ending.

Now that was a damn ending. Hurry up and make the movie already! Or a show. This story is a goldmine. I hope this isn't the last we see of Nemesis.

Genius! And that ending … diabolical
