Nowhere Men, Volume 1: Fates Worse Than Death
Nowhere Men, Volume 1: Fates Worse Than Death | Eric Stephenson
6 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
"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? Collects "Nowhere Men "#1-6. ''When a writer-artist team is truly clicking, something magical can happen, and it does here. Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Bellegarde juggle multiple characters and locations - in geography and in time - yet personalities and appearances remain distinct. The creative team has also supplied realistic ephemera - personal letters, magazine covers and interviews, World Corp. logos and advertisements - that enrich the experience and fill-in the back story. "Nowhere Men" has a lot to absorb, and that's most welcome at a time when some comic books take only minutes to read.'' - The New York Times

An alternative future where scientists are rock stars does not quite seem plausible...but it did have an element of Watchmen in it that I enjoyed.

This was very plot heavy and talk heavy for a graphic novel. There were a few story lines, a bunch of which were people in offices, which is not the most thrilling in graphic form. But there were also storylines where people transformed and got powers, and that was great.

Happy free comic book day! I love #fcbd and had a great time this year. I picked up five free issues and then supported my local comic store and bought two graphic novels.

Starting Spring Break off right: in a coffee sho, reading with my love. His: Nowhere Men; mine: American War by Omar El Akkad. He wanted to read Sex Criminals but was too embarrassed to read it in public. ☺️

Went through some Eric Stephenson Comics for the start of #24in48 last night and again this morning. Finally read the fist arc of Nowhere Men and the first two arcs of They're Not Like Us
