Nextwave/YMMV
< Nextwave
- Alternate Character Interpretation: If your only previous exposure to Machine Man before this was in books like Earth X, prepare for a shock.
- Crazy Awesome: this is a series in which out-of-character established superheroes and the Captain blow things up while being pursued by a Nick Fury spoof in an airship made from submarines welded together.
- Wolverine/Chimp hybrids, anyone?
- Crosses the Line Twice: All over the place, such as the suicidal teddy bear.
- Also, evil beam-shooting Stephen Hawkings getting massacred by the team.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: At least one per issue. Usually more.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: How many other twelve issue comic series have their own Theme Song [dead link]?
- Girls Need Role Models: Averted in that despite the team's gender balance being skewed towards female, none of them are terribly good role models. Monica comes across as a Small Name, Big Ego type, Tabitha is an Idiot Hero and Elsa seems to just be there for the killing. That said, they're paragons of decency compared to the guys.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: All of the Nextwave cast members (save for The Captain, who was created for the comic). Oh, and Forbush Man.
