We focus on his purple underpants. Because we CAN.


Newsarama has a preview up of Nextwave #2, featuring Boom Boom/Time Bomb/Meltdown vs. Fin Fang Foom. Someone on the "inside" recently sent me some of Warren Ellis's notes from his script for Nextwave #1 (which has sold out at Diamond):

And it’s FIN FANG FOOM. I have a bunch of scans of his first appearance. Basically he’s a great long lizard monster that walks on his hind legs and wears purple underpants. I swear to God, purple underpants. Now, in the original, he’s only like thirty feet tall and is more of your mythological kind of monster. But that’s no fun. So here he’s a hundred and fifty feet tall, and your Godzilla-style atomic lizard geezer. I could probably have found another atomic lizard geezer, but come on. His name’s FIN FANG FOOM and he wears purple underpants. You can’t buy that shit.

We focus on his purple underpants. Because we CAN.
