Nemesis The Warlock: Credo HQ

It’s just a dump with a giant termite’s nest in the middle

I’m blown away by Nemesis the Warlock: the Definitive Edition, Vols 1 and 2. My compliments to the publishers, Rebellion, and especially their designer Gemma Sheldrake for the truly inspired front and back covers.

Volume 2 is now on sale from the 2000AD store.

Such a Definitive Edition requires a Definitive Commentary, a companion piece for when you’re looking at the beautiful art by art-creator Kevin O’Neill and the other talented artists that followed him. So it’s time for The Secret History of Nemesis the Warlock, an episode by episode revelation of what really went on behind the scenes.

Episode 9 – Credo HQ

Purity at last visits the Warlock’s secret headquarters and discovers it’s a dump with a giant termite’s nest in the middle. Nemesis loves the khaos, resistance is just an exciting game to him with ‘that psychopath Torquemada running the madhouse.’

Purity rightly feels betrayed, but Nemesis doesn’t care. It’s brutal, but it had to be. All too often we might agree with Cardinal Pell that ‘the key to the whole of the universe, the really significant thing, are humans’.
