Nemesis- Mark Miller
It's here, it's here...finally, at long last i have managed to own my own copy of Mark Miller's new series 'Nemesis'......
Got it yesterday and finished reading it within 10 minutes or so.......
Miller definitely hit the gold mine with this baby...i mean after 'wanted' and 'kick-ass' (i am talking about both the graphic novels and the films based on them) most of us comic readers (sorry perhaps the actual term is graphic novel readers) are waiting to see what magic Miller can cook up and here it is, it has finally hit the stores.....'NEMESIS'......
Take a good look at the front page below.....
Okay...i admit that the image of Nemesis sitting on the car and going guns blazing might evoke the comment ...'Oh great, another lousy and stupid comic character has been born'...i do admit that there are several such comic characters that should have never been created , who have posed themselves in such similar poses and have worn stupid costumes that give non comic readers the general idea that comic books are for idiots and people that just like to pass time as they have no purpose.....
But being honest we all know that this is just a bunch of bull@#%^ .
First of all several of the world's greatest writers, non comic that is have often commented on the power of manga, anima and other comics around the globe as great and inspiring to their own works.......
Comics books as of recent time have become very mature and more fashioned for serious readers....
Take death note and bitter virgin for example......
Anyway despite the weird costume and the pose, nemesis is different from anything that you have seen. For starters the story is pretty nice and interesting....just reading the first issue has got me all hooked up on the idea of reading the next one as soon as it releases.
And dont think for a moment that nemesis is a hero cause he is not...he's a VILLAIN....one that is sure to remind you of joker from the dark knight.......
His story starts off with him laying waste to half of tokyo and getting his target, the police chief of the city brutally killed buy having him run over by a train.....images below.....
Not wishing to give spoilers away i have chosen to let you read the comic book yourself and i can guarantee you that it will probably be a treat for you if you are a Millar fan.....Apparently Nemesis is Millar's current project and the story has already been written out entirely and now only the drawing and bringing the story to life using colourful pictures is left.....As a Millar fan i feel that he is getting more and more interesting with his stories and i seriously do hope that just like wanted and kick-ass, nemesis too will get made into a film. I know that reading just the first issue is too early to pass judgment but i am already sure that this is going to be another neat series from Millar.
So what are you waiting for, get out there and buy your own copy of 'Nemesis' or just download it for free from megauploads......and if you are doing that i suggest downloading and installing winrar first as the download file will be in cbr format and you will have to open it with winrar.
Anyhoo...thats all for now.....i am currently going to turn off my computer and head back to my hostel to get some grub before it's all gone......lunch hour is mad here.....and keep on the lookout for the second issue of nemesis.....
My Very First Post
Let me think...............................ummmm................awwwww mannnnnnnnnn........this is my very first post and i can't to seem to think of anything better than an introduction into my world......then again maybe this is exactly what my first post should contain.....
Hey, that's right...this is why i can't think of anything better....cause this is already the best thing for a first post.
Okay.....here we go....
All right, all you people of the www, welcome to my blog. First of all let me introduce myself.....i am your friendly neighborhood Akhil Anilkumar (dunno if spiderman minds me borrowing his lines) that is if your neighborhood is NIT Calicut, Kerala's reputaion wise best engineering collage.
Hi, at the time of writing this post i have completed my first year here and am waiting for the start of the next semester from where on i will be a senior.
That's right..woooo hoooo....no more ragging for me.....then again i never got ragged in my first year.....
I guess this has something to do with my height and muscular build...not to mention facial hair....as it is many seniors themselves have already called me a senior thinking than i am older than them. Dunno if it's a bad thing or a good one but it did save me from ragging.......
Okay...now lets move on to the main topic...thats right.....it's ME....
I would have said that i was your typical smart boy genius studying in the best collage in the state buuuuuut i won't since my doctors have advised me against lying....so instead i will come clean. My name is Akhil Anilkumar and i am an NITAN......
Thats right i am one of those guys who are considered to be smart or smart enough to have gotten admission into the biggest collage in the state where the brightest minds in the country gather..........but here is the real bone chilling truth...despite popular beliefs Nitans aren't that smart or a tleast we aren't that smart now......
Sure some of us were the best students in our high school and were always toppers but thats in the past......after entering collage in my observation i have found out that majority of the students tend to lay back and take things easy and drop their so called intelligent charade...truth be said despite being in the best collage in the state we Nitans, at least the majority of us are the same as any other lazy laid back collage student you can find in the state of Kerala or at least the majority.
I think of myself as friendly, sweet, lovable, loyal to me friends, trust worthy, good hearted, easy going, laid back, a bit of a slacker at times and a bit of a hard worker at other times. I love video games, basketball, watching cricket, watching adventure, comedy and action films, photography (dont have my own camera though...managing with my nokia 5800 express music phone camera though), love reading books and learning new things.
There are time when i am tough and strong and times when i am cute and cuddly but every thing depends on the people that surround me and my surroundings....
Lets see..i am single......by choice and not by fate since i still have to meet my one and only....that plus like most Keralite mothers, mine is particular on the no romance until wedding rule....but its not all that bad as long as i have my video games. Take that away from me too and you will see a side of me that only a few unfortunate and currently deceased souls have seen, one that rampages and tears off the heads of all those who get in its way.......but yeah normally i am a sweet and gently guy...
Describing me is not a task that can be done in a day or a week...in fact like the Taj Mahal or the pyramids of Giza it might that were build after years and years of hard work and slave labour..it would take a normal human with two hands at least half his life to describe me in all my shades and colours and i really am not planning on wasting half my life for writing this introduction post...so i hope that what little i have written about me today may give you a glimpse into who or what i am.....
Also the title 'A Genius's World' has been chosen by me cause i believe a true genius is one who knows or has expertise in various things including pop culture and that is what i am according to my beliefs.
