I was a bit disappointed here. Like it good enough, but was really hoping for it to blow me away like Nowhere Men did.

The premise and the unfolding of the story was interesting to me. Also most of the art was good, however something about the faces and/or eyes seemed off. Some of them also seemed to basically be copies of other faces, cut and pasted and slightly changed. It was very off putting.
good enough to follow another two or three issues, but for me, not good enough to preorder beyond that yet.

Yeah, kinda how I feel. I'll get the next few to give it a chance of showing me what it's about.
Also, saying that Nate Bellegarde is too afraid to do Nowhere Men is a pretty inaccurate description of his situation. In short, he had a whole bunch of life happen to him, but you could find out more about what he's been struggling with with a bit of research. http://multiversitycomics.com/news/n...f-nowhere-men/
Nowhere Men's disappearance has nothing to do with Eric Stephenson. The delays have been due to the artist, Nate Bellegarde, struggling with mental health issues. Bellegarde actually wrote a pretty lengthy essay on the matter - his focus is on getting healthy first, as it should be.
Anyway, I just read this book last night. I loved the level of detail on the art and the colours and lettering were great. Stephenson's writing though just didn't wow me. The book just felt like a ton of exposition without much more than that. I definitely also understand those who have called out the X-Men feel - it's the X-Men if Xavier was kind of a dick.
I'm interested to see how the second issue is though, with that cliffhanger and, also, hopefully, most of the exposition out of the way.
