Despite the hojillion dollars Netflix spent on it, Zack Snyder’s duo of Rebel Moon movies failed to become the next Star Wars like he wanted it to be. There was a fair amount of pre-release hype, but after the first movie came out most people decided it just wasn’t their thing. And ordinarily that would be the end of the story, but Titan Comics has decided to extend things a little further. Comics, you see, don’t need a large budget or even a large audience to sustain themselves. The number of fans Rebel Moon has at the moment is rather small, but it just might be enough to make this prequel miniseries profitable: presenting Rebel Moon: Nemesis, the backstory of the cyborg sword master played in the movies by Doona Bae. Rebel Moon: Nemesis was written by Gail Simone, and——–erk, better tone down the snark. Simone is a really nice person. If this is the kind of job she wants, then…more power to her, I guess. She explains why she was drawn to this project: “I feel like this story was a little bit destined to happen, somehow. My family and I were watching ‘Rebel Moon’ and really enjoying it, […]

We are not going to have a 3rd movie?

Watching the first Rebel Moon felt like something I had to survive, not enjoy. It was honestly exhausting. So no, there is no way I’m going to read a comic based on that. I don’t care who’s writing it. The movie was already a mess, and I don’t want to put myself through more of that world. If the film felt like torture, why would I choose to read an extended version of the same thing? I’m out.

I don’t think Rebel Moon was terrible, but it was trying too hard. That’s what made it feel off. But the comics might be different. Nemesis has the kind of story that works better in a quiet format like this. No big budget, just storytelling. I’m glad Gail Simone is doing it. She cares about characters, and that matters.

Rebel Moon was one of those movies where I liked the setting more than the story. The universe felt big, but the plot didn’t connect with me. Still, Nemesis stood out. She was cool without saying much. A revenge story focused on her? Sounds way more interesting than what we got in the film. I’m not a comic reader normally, but I might try this one just to see if it gives her more justice.

To me, Rebel Moon had good ideas, but everything felt rushed. It needed more space to breathe. Comics can fix that. Gail Simone writing Nemesis is smart because she can slow things down and show what’s happening inside the character, not just outside. I like when sci-fi goes personal. Nemesis had pain in her eyes, and I want to see that explored. I’ll buy it day one.
