Maybe it's just me, but whenever Millar is given freedom to use whatever dialogue he wants (IE Max or Parental Advisory rating) he goes overboard with the cursing and language so much that it becomes like a parody. In his work for Marvel and DC where he can't use those words as readily, his dialogue is enjoyable, witty, and clever. So, in this first issue, as well as with Wanted, I felt that it was forced and, to put it plainly, inappropriate.
That, coupled with [BLACKOUT]standing on a flying airplane with no equipment or gadgets to keep him held on[/BLACKOUT] and Nemesis' sudden chatty attitude more toward the end took away the excitement I had for the book when it was first announced a few months ago. Hopefully the rest of the book will be better and more like his Ultimates work (or even like the later issues of Wanted) so it won't be so hard to get into.
I agree. And yeah, that standing on the airplane thing was shockingly stupid.
