Nowhere Men

I have so many ridiculously good books on my pull it is hard to notice when something is running late. I think the only one I notice being late is TWD because of my obsession. Nowhere Men earned it's spot and will continue to be there even if it is only 5 books a year.

Seems like some folks that initially loved NWM are throwing tantrums about the delays and are going the pseudo-blackmail route (I'm done after issue so and so) to I guess force E.S. to pump it out faster?

I'm just as chapped as everyone else about the delays and E.S.'s cavalier and somewhat laissez-faire attitude concerning said delays....but I think it's all falling on deaf ears.

He pretty much said in that interview that NWM takes a back seat to everything else, it's his spare time project. It's good enough IMO to get on the front burner, but there's only 2 folks that control that....him and Nate.

Maybe if fans wrote letters to him encouraging the work to move along that would be more incentivizing than basically telling open unmonitored space that the love affair is over. If it was falling on deaf ears before, it's not falling on ears at all.....E.S. has left the bldg. along with Elvis and Nessie.

i said months ago that e.s. has a more important job with Image.

 

I get it, and that's been known since the getgo. It's understandable that he's got important things to do, but he could be a wee bit more enthusiastic about his own title IMHO. In retrospect the multiple prints ad nauseum were probably related to his lack of spare time as well.

Either way, kvetching about the delays here is most likely ineffectual. While he was perusing the thread it may have served some purpose....but he obviously got his panties in a bunch and ran off mad. He seemed like the type that was not going to take too many verbal purple nurples without bolting.

Lazarus just added, and I have hopes for Sheltered.

 

I still love NWM, and wish it was a regular release, but I'll read it when it ships.

I'm with you guys - I still like this book quite a bit and will continue to pick up new issues as long as they're being published.

 

 

I am with the rest of you. I LOVE me some NWM but it still chaps my behind about how things have been handled thus far.

It appears we will not be alone. This seems like a pre-summer auction;

I think the series is making a slight comeback on the secondary market.

I hope it has a slight comeback. I listed all the prints (except the two of the #1 variants and the Thought Bubble) and a sealed Image Yearbook on here a few weeks ago for $90 with no buyer.

Interesting. Looks like I will have to put up a few NWM sets now.
