oakman29 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I REALLY liked Nowhere Men. Lots of extra's jammed into the issue with the bios on the first couple pages and the magazine article in the back. It feels very well thought out. I liked the first issues because it jumped back and forth between time periods and didn't treat the reader like a complete insufficiently_thoughtful_person explaining everything. Gives you just enough to be interested but doesn't answer all the questions. Also, visually it's well put together with the art / fonts / graphics. Looks like Eric is using the same people that do the lettering and logos for SAGA. Loving all the science fiction stuff IMAGE has been pumping out lately. I haven't had a chance to check out Think Tank but if it's similar to this I'll have to check it out! I'm loving it too,so I'm on board for the run.

If you're not reading it you're missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VEI Reborn Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yep, Think Tank is in my top 3 of this year such a great comic! I know Ive said this a dozen times already but it just shocks me that it hasnt blown up yet. Low Print runs [#1 6,200], [#2 5,700] and is down right awesome. Maybe I will buy a few TPBs and see if anyone on the boards wants to read them. Then just pass them around as people get done with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddymagoo Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Can someone tell me why there is a preview of The Nowhere Men in Invincible #19 from November 2004. It is the same guy who wrote this one but looks like a completely different story?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read Nowhere Men yet but pre-ordered a few. It's my kinda book from the description. Think Tank though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinky Lee Zepplin Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I picked up Nowwhere Men #1 but have not read it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEI Reborn Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Just read this book. My thoughts... Someone needs to figure out how to improve the previews of some of these books. Comeback and Nowhere Men previews had me not interested. However I picked up a few Comeback NYCC and liked the book so I decided to give this a shot. Once again the book was much better then I thought it would be. In my personal opinion it is no where near the level of Think Tank currently but it is only one issue....so I will check back in a few months. The cover price at $2.99 is nice also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I really enjoyed Nowhere Men #2. This series looks like it will be a good one going forward. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuff Ghost Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yup! loving it so far. It continues to keep giving us hints as to what is going on but not reveling everything. Morning Glories could learn a thing or two from this series on how to make things mysterious but still make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 posted this elsewhere, but belongs in the official thread ... i will admit that wherever i read the (sneek peek at the back of another image title, cant recall which) i was very unimpressed. In fact, i remember thinking to myself, what a horrible pun on The Beatles, from the title of the book to the way one of the characters looked like John Lennon. i was wrong. after word of mouth was good, i picked up #1 and enjoyed it. But i have to be honest, i cant see how Yoko isnt suing them. The character that looks like Lennon has his birthday listed as 10/9 (Lennons Birthday) and his parents names are Alfred & Julia (same name as Lennons Parents) still have to read #2, but i think i'll like it as i liked #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 My main regret with this book..............I passed on the 4 copies of the #1 Bubble variant that one LCS had put on the shelf beside the regular cover for a whopping $2.99 apiece.

kimik Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Looks like #1 is fetching up to $9.99 already, with a couple of sellers starting to ask for $20+ on eBay right now: Closed items: http://www.ebay.com/csc/Comics-/63/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=nowhere+men+1&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc Current items: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Comics-/63/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=nowhere+men+1 Edited December 23, 2012 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Linguini Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 a friend of a friend who wasn't me told me this story about nowhere men. My friend was on some pornography sites when he stumpled upon a user submitted amateur porn site. There was a girl and it had a link to her facebook, he tells me. Once clicking on her facebook it said engaged. This friend of mine was intrigued no doubt so he clicked on the engaged persons name, hopeing it was a joke and maybe to a girl- only to find out her facebook fiance had a Nowhere Men banner on their facebook. That was off they must of thought, so they took out their copy of nowhere men and found out - the was the writer for nowhere men. the pictures were added within the last two months, he tells me. Which could me that the writer of no where men is into some weird voyerism or whatever its called. take from that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
