NEXTWAVE: Agents of H.A.T.E.: The Finale! A Corner Box Deep Dive S2Ep12

John & David wrap up their deeper dive into Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.! The guys make a noble attempt at trying to explain The Captain’s drunken origin, Machine Man’s dark origins, Elsa’s childhood training origins, Forbush Man’s pot, the magic of the Warren Ellis/Stuart Immonen collaboration, the Crayon Butchery Variant, Nextwave’s crazy covers, fun Easter eggs in each issue, and the greatest line in all comics. Also, David makes yet another shocking (to him) discovery.Timestamp Segments[01:48] The origin of The Captain.[02:25] Kicking cops?[03:57] John’s favorite Dirk Anger scene.[06:09] The Crayon Butchery Variant.[08:53] Machine Man’s origins.[10:02] Crazy characters.[11:24] Nextwave goes down?[12:40] The greatest line in comics.[15:02] Elsa’s childhood origins.[16:30] Forbush Man’s pot.[19:17] Where’s Tabitha?[21:25] Nextwave’s covers.[22:49] Stuart Immonen’s 6 double-page spreads.[24:54] The big finale.[26:26] A few extras.[27:43] Nextwave’s legacy.[28:46] David’s shocking discovery.[29:21] Marvel continuity.[30:26] Stuart Immonen’s changing styles.Notable Quotes“Nextwave doesn’t work, at all, if Stuart Immonen isn’t drawing it.”“I don’t think issue 2’s were planned, at all, when issue 1’s were written.”“Mark Millar licks goats.”“You must buy 6 copies of this comic now.”Relevant LinksDavid's Fun Stuff!Did Someone Say Fun Time?
