Goofy and silly and not at all serious, the Nextwave comics read like a sort of Monty Python for comics nerds: twisty logic, elaborate non-sequiturs, and lots of sneaky little in-jokes. Often, jokey comics wind up being lame and self-indulgent; but thankfully, the smart writing and roffley sight gags here are ACTUALLY funny.  (Which is not to say they aren't also just a wee bit self-indulgent too.)
Nextwave is strongest when it's slyly taking the air out of the over-serious puffed-up
Marvel tone; but the book's 2-dimensional characters sacrifice depth for the sake of jokes. It's kind of hard to enjoy their jabs at stock characters when the book itself is populated solely by simple archetypes.
So in the end, it's all good wacky fun; but unlikely to leave much of an impression beyond "ha."
