NOWHERE MEN #1
“SCIENCE IS THE NEW ROCK ‘N’ ROLL.”
So said Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange and Thomas Walker at the dawn of a new age of enlightenment that ushered in a boom in scientific advancement. As the research supergroup World Corp., they became the most celebrated scientists of all time. They changed the world – and we loved them for it. But where did it all go wrong? And when progress is made at any and all cost, who ultimately pays the price?

I don’t know who these people are, but that pitch and cover sold me
Eric Stephenson has been involved with Image for a long time. He worked with Rob Liefeld way back in the day and is now one of the big cheeses.
He wrote a comic called New Men which I only read 3 issues of (21-23) that he did with Chris Sprouse. They were great but the book died a quick death and that was that.
Stephenson’s the current publisher of Image Comics.

@Conor that was a great interview. Just re-watched it earlier today, oddly enough.
oh yeah, I actually remembered that interview
@BCDX97: I loved New Men back when I was 12. It was totally an X-Men riff, but I thought it was fun. Eric Stephenson (and the rest of the creative team) were even nice enough to send me some signed copies of an issue I’d missed. I had just written asking if they knew where I could buy a copy, and then a few weeks later — FREE COMICS!
One of my highlights of Morrisoncon was getting to say thanks to Eric for doing that. It was a clutch move at a time when I was beginning to drift away from comics!
Cover is cool, solicit seems somewhat interesting. Gonna give it a flip through at the shop and if the art is intriguing I’ll pick it up.
Feels like a Hickman book. Even has his concentric circles. I’ll give it a look.
Hey, what happened to the concentric circles? This is not the same cover that was up Monday.
I like this cover, but why does it have the Warner Music corporate logo stuck in the middle? I can’t figure out why the cover designer would do that. It’s like they think that no comic readers listen to music and have ever seen one of the most iconic logos in late 20th century design.
Yeah, I see the cover and read the description expected it to be about music somehow
Science is the new-wave for superheroes in comics, & this should be up there with The Manhattan Projects!!!
i really enjoy books that have jordie bellaire on colors
Is this an ongoing?
Yep!
Just read this article about this book….I am checking it out.

This book was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Added to my buy pile.
That cover is so Hickman he might actually remember doing it.
I was intrigued by the concepts and I’ll stick around for a while to at least see how these three lines are connected or if/when they intersect. I enjoyed the way the background of the characters was introduced. This will fill a certain niche/void left from SECRET.
Is it weird that I like the appearance of the lettering?
“Let me tell you how it will be.”
The opening line from The Beatles album Revolver (my favorite by the Fab Four), also serves as the first line of dialogue for Nowhere Men,
So many allusions to The Beatles permeates this first issue (including the book’s name) and added a certain charm to the storytelling for me. I enjoyed the past, future and present approach in the writing and the depth of characters presented. Also, Nate Bellegarde’s art and Jordie Bellaire’s color worked perfectly.
This was a nice break form the world of tights & fights. I’m looking forward to issue #2!
Totally agreed with & my POTW!!!
Fantastic first issue. What if the Fantastic Four was four Reed Richards?
I read the first half of this issue then put it down. Last night I thought I would give it a second chance and I’m glad I did. Really enjoyed it.
Did not enjoy this at all. Not coming back for more.
