This volume has a fascinating premise: what if the Beatles (or people very like them) were rock-and-roll super-scientist stars? There's also lots of fancy use of unusual storytelling techniques. Unfortunately, Nowhere Men never really fulfills it potential. 
 To start with, the story makes constant use of flashbacks and different time periods, which I'd usually love, but it's largely incomprehensible here, as you struggle again and again to figure out what's going on when. I think this problem was made worse by the lack of chapter dividers in the TPB, which turned it all into one muddy flow. Then we come to the text pieces & "ads" where are constant in the comic. Neither of them added much to the story, and the text pieces were entirely dull. Finally, you get to the plot, and minus all these tricks it's ... OK. As for the characters: the four super scientists are interesting, but the 12 characters who fill out the B plot have almost no characterization. 
 So, a bold, worthwhile failure for me. I'm frankly astounded it continues to get so much great attention. I was skimming the text pieces by halfway through the book, and by the time I got to the inconclusive ending, I was skimming the rest of the comic too.
