Termight is a world at the heart of a cruel galactic empire - a world devastated by nuclear warfare. Deep below ground, its inhabitants try to eke out a mere existence, continually threatened by the Terminators, lead by the diabolically evil Torquemada. There is a resistance though, and a new kind of hero. Meet Nemesis the Warlock, champion of the coming rebellion!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blurs the line between sci-fi and fantasy 17 Mar 2007
By Babytoxie
These days, I grab any 2000AD collected editions I can find in the US, as the opportunities appear to be dwindling. Considering the love affair American comics readers have with British writers and artists, you'd think we'd snatch up these books, but unfortunately, that's not the way it goes. In fact, several years ago, DC began reprinting select storylines of various characters, including several I'd never heard of before. These reprints featured work from such big names as Alan Moore, Simon Bisley, Brian Bolland, Frank Quitely, and Chris Weston: creators who are no strangers to American audiences. Unfortunately, the line was cancelled after a year or so. On one hand, I can understand that DC wouldn't want to continue the line if the books aren't selling, but did they honestly expect that they would fly off the shelves without heavy promotion? The unfortunate truth is that most American readers need to be spoon-fed when it comes to British comics, and we few enlightened fans suffer the consequences.

In any case, I am happy that 2000AD/Rebellion is following the black-and-white "phone book" trend of Marvel's Essentials and DC's Showcase by releasing their Complete collections. These are available through US distributors, and my local shops order them regularly, so I can finally read the original adventures of my favorite 2000AD characters - and at this point, I don't care if they're not in color. THE COMPLETE NEMESIS THE WARLOCK BOOK 1 collects the first 4 stories of my favorite horse-faced demon, plus some nice extras. Nemesis leads the fight against the evil Termight Empire and its emperor, Torquemada, whose goal is the elimination of all alien life in the universe. All of the stories are written by Pat Mills, and they kept me on the edge of my seat.... Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars The best is yet to come 10 Feb 2007
By Great Uncle Baal
Nemesis the warlock astounded me when i was young - it seemed so 'deviant', to have a demon as the hero and a religious zealot as the enemy. The artwork here is fantastic from Kevin O'Neill whose vastly intricate artwork is compelling. The book, to be fair, does not have the best Nemesis story lines - Terror Tube and Killer Watt are not exactly structurally complex but they do set the scene and give us a great view of 'Termight' from the inside out. Book I and Book II are sort of adventure stories with big spiders and the like.

However, Book III (with the return of O'Neill in the artists chair) is where things start taking a darker turn and develop in complexity. For me, this is where the great stories begin. Unfortunately this collection stops at the end of Book IV with all the really dark stuff still to come. Also, Bryan Talbot's artwork in Book IV ( and later in Book V and VI i think) is not as compelling as O'Neill's.

I'm pleased at how thorough rebellion have been with this collection as they have included all nemesis stories from the era i.e. the ones that appeared in special editions and annuals etc., as well as the first two stories in which Nemesis isn't seen!

This is essential stuff even if only to set the scene for vol 2 which will have The Two Torquemadas and Deathbringer with the unnerving artwork of John Hicklenton.

Also, be sure to check out The Meknificent Seven and The Black Hole collections of ABC Warriors as they are tied in with these stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spread the word 7 July 2012
By J Davey
Amazon Verified Purchase
Ah, the thrill of 'arch deviants' and 'bigots'! The memories come flooding back, with o'Neil's nightmarish artwork (wasn't some of this censored with big white blobs?) to the fore. Pleasantly surprised 'The Gothic Empire' is included, as Talbot's version of Purity Brown did funny things to me as a boy. A great collection of stories and an equal to Dredd and Rogue on my bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars more cash in your wallet, more warlock on your shelf... 8 Jan 2009
By Adam Benyon
wow, pretty damn amazed at how something so simple in concept could work out so addictive. i wasn't privalleged enough to read this epic sci-fi adventure the first time round, but have recently been getting back into graphic novels due to some essential re-releases, and my god do you get a lot for your money.

what does £15 usually by nowadays in terms of gn fiction? one single storyarch, full colour (rather overrated at times) and a shiny cover.

if entertainment is what you desire, and in bulk amounts too, you can't go wrong with nemesis the warlock! remember back to the good ol' days of saturday morning cartoons, twist this on its head so the bad guys are cool and the "good guys" are evil, and you have nemesis.

occultism, totalitarian empires, aliens, pure science fiction, this flick has it all, if you have the patience to look beyond the rather simplistic text and see the beauty beneath. can't wait to read the next collection.

CREDO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic British Comic Storytelling 20 Aug 2007
By Steven Dedalus
Nemesis the Warlock is unquestionably one of the more esoteric stories to ever grace the pages of 2000AD. Growing out of the frankly ludicrous "Comic Rock" stories, where a popular song of the day would be transformed into some kind of weird tale within the pages of the comic, bizarrely, Nemesis' roots belong to the Jam's "Going Underground". Quite what this has to do with anything, I'm not sure, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Pat Mills has created so many great stories and characters, but Nemesis is one of the strangest, and the most successful. These early stories collected here capture exactly why the British comics industry of the late seventies and early eighties were so successful. The unbridled creativity that flows through every panel is simply staggering, and one gets the impression that Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill were just throwing everything they had at the page, regardless of whether it made sense or not. They seem to be just lost in the moment, going at it with reckless abandon. And by god, it works!

Ignoring for a moment that the `hero' of the story is a cloven hoofed demon, Grand Master of Terra, Tomas de Torquemada must be one of the greatest comics characters ever created. Malevolently evil, delightfully unhinged, and terrifyingly grotesque, there simply isn't another character like him in the comics world that I can think of. Defying the laws of physics, and dying in almost every story, he best exemplifies how thrilling it is to read the early Nemesis material. As evidence of their unrestrained artistic explosion, Mills has Torquemada repeatedly killed on these pages, but never once decides to give a coherent explanation as to why this can happen....
