Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
I just finished Marvel's last issue of Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, which is a tie-in to Electronic Arts recently released video game.Mheh -- Kind of like the game.
And, like the game, there are some good things. Jae Lee's covers are pretty nice. Renato Arlem's art is OK -- kind of stylish, kind of dark, kind of appropriate.
But I'm not a fan of Greg Pak's writing on this series (also not a big fan of it on Marvel 1602: New World (though I'm not sure anyone looks good picking up after a Neil Gaiman run). He gets some characters OK (like Spider-Man and the Thing), but I feel like he totally doesn't get characters like Elektra or Storm.
And the story ended on a limp/weak note, that didn't tie up the story nicely, or dovetail into the game. Double loss.
