I'm blown away by this. I had never even heard of it, but grabbed it because I had recently read one of Stephenson's other books. This is amazing. Really.

I don't read many comics but this one was really cool. The plot is really interesting, I really want to know what happens next. The art is also very good and the 60's 70's advertisement influence in a lot of panels is really cool. This a text heavy comics but it helps to flesh out the characters a lot more.Recommended.

This one started off with a ton of potential, then just got way too wordy for me. That makes me sound like a troglodyte, but no, it just had way too much going on. The stuff all looked very good, art and graphic wise, the little info things included like fake newspaper articles and magazine covers was cool, but kinda pulls you out of the immersion when you have to read so very carefully.Premise is, something like what if the Beatles had been 4 scientists instead of musicians? But not exactly, be...

A very different and enjoyable book which I'm really looking forward to delving into more. It's like manhattan projects about four genius scientists who were like the Beatles of science in the 70's. One of them becomes greedy and creates a virus which starts evolving people into creatures with powers. Som really cool characters in this and all of them easily defined making it easier to follow.

sometime in the future, science is the new rock 'n' roll. a Fab Four of science idols build an amazing company together and their inventions help to change the world. in kaleidoscopic fashion, Nowhere Men explores their various fates and those transformed by their ideas.this required a much larger suspension of disbelief than I'm used to, as I can often casually accept weird alternate worlds that include zombies, superheroes, and president trump. but for some reason it was really hard to swallow...

Let me take you down… ‘cos that’s where Nowhere Men’s taken me after reading it!Four hippy scientists are apparently “rock stars” for their amazing research or something. They create World Corp that becomes the world’s biggest corporation (yup, we’re in simpleton land already!). Fast forward to the present. We’re on board a space station and the crew are sick with some unknown disease. The hippy scientists broke up because… the wooorrrllld… is rooooounnnd… nah, it was about money or something st...

More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/ Nowhere Men is an intelligently written, nuanced, and very intriguing book that perfectly makes use of the graphic novel format. I was enthralled from the first few pages and consider it one of the best graphic novels I have read.The story starts in a very 1960s feeling America (but clearly an alternate universe) where four men, hailed as the hope of the future as brilliant young scientists, start a corporation with a

Collecting the first six issues of the comic, this is a dense and sometimes complicated read. But in a good way. The genre is sci-fi with the primary focus on “rock star” scientists and what they’ve done to improve the world. It covers a virus, mutations, space stations and teleportation. It’s a very detailed story with a few twists and some interesting characters. As a whole, it reminded me of Watchmen, not only with some of the plot, but also the way the panels were interspersed with articles

Nowhere Men: Fates Worse Than Death begins with the media blitz of World Corp., a company founded by a team of four genius scientists. The company manages to create several meaningful inventions, including technology that allows the blind to see. However, in the midst of their fame and rock star status (a T-shirt on the cover of the comic book declares “Science is the new rock ‘n’ roll”), the group begins to have disharmony, spurred by the unorthodox methods of Thomas Walker and trailed by rumor...

Image is putting out so many great titles that make it clear why they are the biggest publisher of creator owned comics right now… this book is not one of those great ones.What’s it about?From what I gathered the story is pretty much about some famous wannabe Beatles/scientists and a group of supposedly sick people who need to go through a portal of some kind.Why I hate this book:The story is boring.The art is just awful. Okay, in all fairness, I have seen art that is much worse than this. I wou...

This was by far one the most interesting and unique comics I've ever read. Though I wasn't attached to any of the particular characters, the overall plot was exceedingly compelling.Many of the events in these issues are all over the place, but in my opinion the chaos is welcome as it creates an engrossing energy able to drag readers into the narrative while experiencing the same mix of confusion and curiosity its players are.The use of fabricated interviews, magazine articles and biographies to

Personally, I think good science fiction has been missing from the U.S. comic shelves for some time. I know this puts me in the minority, but neither Saga nor Manhattan Projects does it for me. Stephenson takes his core concept, which is scientists as rock stars and crafts an interesting sotry using multiple story telling techniques.The standard panel and words balloons are there. Stephenson, in working at creating an chronicle of events put in news papers interviews, magazine pieces, and sectio...

I loved the way this started and the idea of scientists as pop culture icons, but the story failed to deliver on many levels. Narcissistic, simple characters, an uninspiring plot that could have come from many other superhero/scifi stories, and pedestrian artwork all added up to a big disappointment. The faux magazine sections and ads were clearly an attempt to use a different storytelling style, but frankly, Alan Moore did it better over 25 years ago.

I’m giving this book 4 stars though I enjoyed it a little less than that. The art is phenomenal. The story felt very much like a mashup of several elements. For me, as a long time Beatles fan, all the references were right there on top. Seemed a little too obvious sometimes, but then maybe that’s just me. So you take that conceit, then graft it to the bones of the Fantastic Four origin story, along with text interludes that felt very Watchmen, and blend it together with great visuals. The seams
