The Nevermen are a trio of trenchcoated punch-monkeys in fashionable eyewear that protect a dirty burg called Midnight City from Lovecraftian thugs. There isn't a corner of the city they don't protect, which is good, because crime is 24/7 here. One baddie is done blowin' up a bank, another is waiting to fleece an art gallery. Put one knuckle-dragger in jail, two more swipe your granny's purse. The Nevermen used to be a sextet but two of them died, and another becomes a charming freelance bountyhunter called The Murderist.
The Nevermen: Streets of Blood is packed full of hints as to the origin of The Murderist, what The Professor had been busy doing before he created the Nevermen, whether or not there'll be any heroes joining their thinned ranks, and what the Nevermen do all day when they're not punching someone. Plus, you'll see a nasty new archvillain, Winterbone, who makes the Joker look like a Lord of the Dance!
"Nevermen is a little bit Big Sleep, a little Matrix, a whole lot of quirky," writer Phil Amara commented. "The first series was very visceral, and admittedly subtle. This sequel is a chance to blend my unique perspective on comic storytelling with the good-ol'-fashioned comic book mechanics we know and love."
This sequel to last year's smash series is written by Nevermen confidant Phil Amara and drawn by Nevermen arch rival Guy Davis. Issue #1 pounds its way into comic shops January 29 with a retail price of $2.99.
