None of them get explained and the opening reads as a strange fever dream, though some of that may be intentional. The problem is there are too many weird concepts thrown at the reader right away that it’s hard to catch your bearings. If reading that made your head hurt, don’t bother opening this book. From what I can gather, Nameless is hired to infiltrate the dream world and steal a Dream Key, runs into The Veiled Lady (who has a parasite stuck to her face) and then is told by his employer that he will be traveling to space to help stop an astroid that has the door to the anti-verse on its side from striking Earth. The first half is such a whirlwind of images and concepts that you feel like you’ve eaten the brown acid. dream, time and magic themes and it makes for one hell of a confusing book. Morrison continues his use of reality vs. That sentence alone should give you an understanding of the ideas within. The protagonist in Nameless named himself “Nameless” to surrender his name so no one has control over him, even though Nameless is his name.
Nameless #1 is the latter and will have many scratching their heads. There are two kinds of Morrison stories: the quirky kind that are fun and easily accessible and the kind that have huge intellectual tales full of Morrison’s trademark (and slightly self indulgent) crazy. Never a stranger to the odd and imaginative idea, Morrison has become known as the guy who writes comics you won’t understand (most of the time).
Previously in Nameless: Grant Morrison had some ideas. Want to know more? Of course you do! Read on for the review!
It has dream worlds, strange symbols and languages and guys with fish masks. Nameless is the new Grant Morrison book from Image Comics.
