Put your thinking caps on, you naughty children. MATH TIME!!! Try to solve this equation: Corrupt policeman + giant, hungry robot ÷ Manhattan clam chowder × (origin of The Captain - logic) + Y + a chair3= YOUR FAVORITE BOOK. Solve for "Y". Nope, Y / a 1979 Volkswagon Rabbit. Y = explosions. HAVEN'T YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION?
BONUS REVIEW by DAL BUSH
This book should sell itself! Here's proof, from this very issue: "This is Nextwave: Selling you a huge crazy mutant cop menacing an attractive young woman and calling it Fun." "Killing robots is SICK!" "I hate cops! Because, like, cops keep arresting me and stuff? For stealing? Like stealing's a crime or something?" "Nextwave would like to remind the audience that dragging insane, corrupt police officers who change into giant killer robots into an alleyway and shooting them a lot is very bad and not the Marvel way. And also still illegal in most states." Such the perfect Marvel comic. If New Avengers were half as much fun as this, it'd still be 4 times as fun as it is now. Which is to say, any fun at all. 9 Grahams
