First off...

I don't know about you, but overall, Nemesis has been one of the funnest rides I've ever been on in a LONG time. Issues 2 and 3 were perfect at doing their job: Which is to keep you wondering what the HELL is gonna happen next!?
But for some reason any serious "big" project that involves Millar, it ceremonially gets delayed to oblivion.
The comic debuted in March, right?
So how does it take 9+ months to pencil 4 comics? What the hell is going on.... EVERY.SINGLE.TIME?
Ultimates, Civil War, Nemesis, Kick-Ass... etc..
I digress. This thread is for us fans to talk about how much we liked it and to welcome issue 4, coming in a couple of weeks. When I go back and re-read issues 1-3 it makes my mouth water for more. It's fun. It's crazy. It's comics, and I can't wait to see this crazy $#!t on the big screen.
1. I personally loved how "Jackie Shoes" turned out to be what Morrow meant when he said "Call Kirby, we need to get a plan together." back in issue 1.
2. The "Anderson" truck outside the robbery in issue 1.
3. When Nemesis is arrested, "Howard Anderson" sent his congratulations via video remotely because he was "on business". This could have easily been pre-recorded.
4. At the end of issue 4 Sergeant Lee says "I can't BELIEVE who he's been hiding as all this time." and Morrow replies "Actually, he was my first guess all along." In the beginning of issue 2 "Howard Anderson" is the first person Morrow talks to.
I'm pretty sure Matthew Anderson murdered his own uncle and hid as him in plain sight, ala Bruce Wayne and Batman
I have a question as to Nemesis' team though. Which is which? Is Johnny the tech expert or Gentle Joe?
In issue 1, the tech man with the sash and long gloves always accompanying Gas-Pipe (Nemesis' "favorites") is addressed by Nemesis as "Gentle Joe" when he asks "I hope we get 10 million a piece". Then Nemesis states how they each have their expertise from technology crime ("Gentle Joe's" field) to burglary ("Jackie Shoes").
But in issue 3 when Nemesis breaks out of prison he states "Lights, please, Johnny" which then cuts to his tech expert in the prison guard's electronics room cutting the lights. Then his identity thief proceeds to shoot the armed guards, while Nemesis states "Lights, again, please, Johnny."
It's presumed that this "Johnny" was the one who disabled the lights when Nemesis says directly to his undercover agent "Nice work, Gentle Joe. Now get those keys and get me out of here."
So did these guys switch names or something? Is Johnny the tech expert and Gentle Joe the identity thief?
And in issue 2 when Nemesis asks the whereabouts of Morrow's family, Gas-Pipe tells him "Not even Johnny could find them." I find it more logical to use a tech expert than an identity thief to find out where someone's hidden, no?
