review 1: Mostly a recycling of old mad scientist cliches, gussied up with a few contemporary touches. Several decades after four science hotshots set out to transform the world, their friendship has fallen apart and some of them have decidedly dubious agendas (which is where the mad science comes in). Readable but unimpressive—for one thing I'd find it easier to believe in how amazing they were if we saw some of their inventions in regular use. And the text pages (magazine articles, book excerpts) really don't add anything I didn't already know.
review 2: Imagine a world where scientists are the only real celebrities - and they are constantly working (and succeeding) to advance our understanding of the universe in fantastically creative ways. Scientific conglomerates ... morecompete with each other to produce technologies that have the potential to transform the lives of millions of people all over the world - but they also freely conduct super-secret research projects that endanger just as many. This is a very entertaining and unpredictable story - I wasn't even looking to get back into comics and graphic novels when I discovered "Nowhere Men," but this is a superb find that I can recommend to anyone who likes thought-provoking science fiction of any kind. less
