While Frank deserves a good chunk of credit for the visual success of the book, I must confess that colorist Diego Rodriguez seems to be the true stand-out in the creative team. Also, as to be expected when dealing with Famous Monsters and given his previous work on IDW’s Godzilla comics, Frank has no problem excelling in the creature department. While Robinson’s first issue felt a little predictable at times, all in all, he delivers a story full of terrifying creatures, a distinct sense of mystery, and a number of insane and interesting concepts (like a kaiju-to-human heart transplant) to excite readers and continue to explore down the road.įrank’s art style works well with Robinson’s script, and he seems to have a real knack for expressive and emotive facial expressions. Much like how Alien: Resurrection focused on the military’s creation of a cloned, half-xenomorph Ellen Ripley and the havoc she wrought upon them, the first issue of Project Nemesis tells the story of a secretive military science unit that clones a half-kaiju (or maybe more than half) young girl and then quickly regrets this decision, when she begins to behave like the monster they created. I know many of my fellows geeks think very little of the much-maligned fourth film in the Alien series, but the comparison isn’t in regards to quality, but plot elements. Now, don’t start going all negative just yet. Project Nemesis #1 is a lot like a kaiju version of Alien: Resurrection.
