My son Zachary wasn't sure if he wanted to see INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS, and then I explained to him exactly what the concept was (and showed him a couple of clips from the website). Suddenly, he was very interested. I was instantly reminded of times we've spent together before bedtime, me clutching a comic book in one hand, and he hanging on my every word as I describe the action and portray the different characters from the story. This show brings those actions to life in exciting fashion, combining the use of 1250 panels of hand drawn action (projected on a Hi-Res screen), three voice actors who cover all the characters who populate this adventure, a talented foley artist who makes sure the atmosphere feels authentic, and a pianist who accompanies it all with a thrilling score. Intergalactic Nemesis does exactly what it sets out to do, bringing a graphic novel to life on stage in thrilling, compelling, and sometimes downright humorous manner.
