SquareChaos Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's from a reader perspective. The 1st few were good, the last couple were pretty poor. They were definitely not worth the wait. People balked after waiting on Manifest Destiny to return. That was planned and not nearly as long. And frankly the book is much better. Patrick Ah, well I respect that, if you don't like it don't support. I feel differently, I like both books, but feel Nowhere Men is much superior on almost every level.... other than reliability :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, NWM #5 and #6 seemed rushed to me. The first three issues set things up great but it seemed like they tried to tie up too much at the end of the first arc.

james1miller Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 http://multiversitycomics.com/interviews/image-expo-eric-stephenson-and-the-comic-industry-of-tomorrow-interview/ The NWM part. In regards to your book “Nowhere Men,” many have wondered about its absence, especially with yourself, Nate Bellegarde, and the book earning Eisner nominations and both Emi Lenox and Moritat being featured in solicits for future issues. Recently, Nate gave readers an answer, opening up publicly on how the book’s delays were entirely on his end and what caused them. With that out in the open now, do you have plans set for the future of the book? Do you have anything you want to add to what Nate said? ES: Well, as you may have gathered from the statement Nate posted online, the future of Nowhere Men is kind of out of my hands. Half of issue seven is drawn. It looks great. It’s absolutely stunning work on Nate’s part. He’s tremendously gifted, but unfortunately, as a result of his situation, we’ve been at a standstill for almost a year now. Back in January, my hope was that we could at least wrap up the second arc. That would have left readers in a satisfying place, and I would have more or less accomplished what I’d set out to do story-wise. I’d still like to do that, but honestly, everything is up in the air right now. We tried getting someone else as a replacement – Jake Wyatt, Möritat – and what we learned is that Nowhere Men really only works if it’s Nate, Steven, Jordie, and myself. So without Nate, Nowhere Men ceases to exist on any real level, and without Nowhere Men on our schedules, Jordie, Steven, and I have moved on to other things. We’re all pulling for Nate, obviously, but the whole situation is just deeply saddening. Hopefully, things improve for Nate at some point, because he’s too talented to have his career derailed like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquareChaos Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 That is almost as definitive as if he said 'It is over.' Too bad, I was hoping they'd continue it, I really enjoyed the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 So, it sounds like, at best, Nowhere Men will end as a 12 issue mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEI Reborn Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The way I read it is.....Nates health is more important than the book. If Nate gets the treatment he needs, then they will talk about it then but for now, everyone else must continue on with their lives. I have a feeling we will see this book again.

JollyComics Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I waited for the next issue and always wanted to know what happened next but this may be uncompleted. I felt like that I was cut off since Atlas Comics went bankrupt. Planet of Vampires, Ironjaw and all other books were gone uncompleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to get my hopes up for anything anytime soon, but I have my hopes up that we will again get new books some day. This is great news! Going to pull a set and reread to refresh and do so again once the next issue comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
