Mark Millar's Nemesis is returning for a new series with Batman artist Jorge Jiménez.
CBR can exclusively reveal Nemesis will return for a new series in January 2023. Coming from Millarworld -- Millar's personal division at Netflix -- the new series will be written by Millar and drawn by Jiménez. "I'm especially excited to have this opportunity to work with Mark Millar!" Jiménez said of working on Nemesis' return. "He is not only a writer that I have admired for years, but he is also one of the titans of the comic book world. In addition, Nemesis series has everything I need to develop my style as an artist in a crazy, daring way and without filters. My main objective is to take care of the characters' acting. This series plays nimbly between extremely harsh scenes and hints of badass humor, extreme violence and some serious dramatic touches. The whole project is such a challenge for me, keeping up with this crazy energy and making the whole project feel really entertaining and fun. I'm also going to be the happiest guy in the world doing the action scenes. They're so dynamic and powerful, but very modern too. I'm very excited! I promise you I'll do my best and you will love this madness we have cooked up for you!!"
The publishing company also announced Millar would be working on a new series called Big Game with artist Pepe Larraz. "I'm in love with these guys and have been sending them fan mail for years," Millar said of the announcements. "Jorge I think is the best Batman artist of this century and Pepe is, in my opinion, the greatest X-Men artist of all time. If you're going to steal, steal big so I went for Marvel's biggest player and DC's top dog. Having them over here at Netflix with us is an absolute treat. They're both deep in their respective projects and we'll be releasing some of the art as previews in the back of our current Magic Order and Prodigy series."
Millar & McNiven's Nemesis first launched in 2010 as a creator-owned limited series published by Icon Comics. Created by Millar and Steve McNiven, the series follows a Batman-like supervillain named Nemesis as he sets his sights on bringing mass chaos, destruction and death to Washington D.C. A Nemesis film has been in the works for some time and has moved around to several different studios. In 2021, Millar announced Promising Young Woman's Emerald Fennell was working on the latest draft of the script.
