Nextwave is a GREAT comic by Warren Ellis. It's not a comic that takes itself seriously. Funny from front to back. From the very first page that gives you a quick QA introduction (which at least 2 of the questions change each month to bring additional funny) to the comic, to the icons used to cross out cuss words.
Also, #1 was released as a Director's Cut. This means they included the script Ellis wrote and gave to the artist. Very interesting if you've ever been curious how that process works or if you're interested in writing your own comic books.
If you don't believe me, though you definitely should, check out this cover of Nextwave 11
What Would Matt Do: Start/Keep reading Nextwave. So very good.
P.S. - Mark Millar is one of my favorite comic book authors…when he's doing super hero stuff. His Ultimates run was gold.
