Nowhere Men #1
This volume collects the first six issues of the acclaimed Image series, introducing a world where scientific celebrity culture has run amok. The story follows the fallout after a catastrophic accident at a research facility owned by the enigmatic World Corp, focusing on the fractured lives of the scientists and the public's obsession with their work. A sharp, satirical take on fame and the ethics of discovery, it blends character-driven drama with a looming sense of dread.
Nowhere Men #1, written by Eric Stephenson and illustrated by Nate Bellegarde with colors by Jordie Bellaire, kicks off with the discovery of a derelict space station in the Sahara, its crew struggling to survive amid mysterious mutations triggered by a virus. As one member, Dade, slowly regains consciousness from a coma, the story unfolds through stark, grounded visuals and unsettling hints of corporate influence—seen in the inclusion of a two-page ad for the Trans-Island Skyway, a page for the World Corp robot Nigel, and another for Cubiq, all rendered with the sharp, deliberate style of Bellegarde’s cover art.
In a flashback, four brilliant minds—Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange, and Thomas Walker—unite to launch World Corp, their ambitions clashing over the direction of their groundbreaking work. Fast forward to the present, where a tense research team grapples with the mysterious spread of a deadly virus, hinting at a legacy far beyond their control.
In "null," Darrow wakes from a coma aboard a dying space station, where the fragile calm is shattered by the crew’s urgent debate over the teleporter—its use could mean salvation or doom. As Emerson grapples with the weight of their discovery, the line between escape and sacrifice grows thinner with every passing second.
In "null," Dade, Emerson, and Simon confront Thomas in a tense flashback, setting in motion a chain of events that fractures their alliance. As the space station crew undergoes unsettling transformations, Dade races to find them while Fletcher begins erasing his own trail—leaving behind a mystery that deepens with every page.
In "null," Emerson and Simon's secret plan to seize control of the ISS unfolds in a tense flashback, set against the vast silence of space. As the station's crew grapples with sudden, unsettling mutations, their experiments with newfound abilities spiral beyond their grasp.
