Rarely is a comic-book world as claustrophobic as that of Phil Amara's The Nevermen. The dark city is filled with gloomy alleys and capped by drafty rooftops; its citizens are all clothed in mystery and seem to have business outside the book's plot. The title characters are five nearly identical trench-coated crime fighters scouring their city of evil and searching for their missing partner. The beautifully drawn villains are too numerous to keep up with. From the fez-wearing Cthulhoid gentleman to the zombie crime lord, they usually exit as swiftly as they appear. The story falls just short of living up to its Phil Dick-inspired promise, but it is nevertheless satisfying and well worth a dozen readings. --Rob Lightner
Book Description
This never happened. We were never here. Where they come from, no one knows. Where they go when their crime-fighting work is done is a mystery. They are the Nevermen, the greatest heroes who never existed -- in the mission they never expected! One of the Nevermen is missing, taking with him the only clues to a plot that has the criminal underworld in turmoil. With homicidal monkey butlers, disembodied living heads, the diabolical League of Crows, and the mysterious villain known as Clockwork arrayed against them, the remaining Nevermen find themselves seeking the help of one of their former companions now turned free-lance avenger -- The Murderist -- in order to stem the swelling tide of evil that threatens not only the Nevermen`s beloved city, but the very fabric of time and space! This definitive collection of the four-issue series also includes the hard-to-find Nevermen tales from Dark Horse Presents!
