Trivia / Nowhere Men

• Creator Breakdown: Artist Eric Bellegarde. After over half a year of no new issues, Bellegarde published a long tumblr post admitting that his perfectionism had delayed the book before a downward spiral that culminated in him being diagnosed with depression, ADHD, and an Autism Spectrum Disorder. He vowed to get better and return to work, but a full year after that post, there were still no new issues and the rest of the team decided to carry on without him. He later posted a follow-up with his complicated thoughts on the matter.
• Schedule Slip: Something fierce. Issue #1 was released in November 2012, and issue #6 (which wrapped up the first arc) was released in October 2013, with the trade paperback coming out the following month. It was mostly monthly, but saw a five-month delay between issues #5 and 6 that was only a taste of what was to come. Issue #7 was supposed to come out in January of 2014, but didn't see the light of day until a full two years later. #8 and #9 came out the next two months respectively, but #10 didn't get released until June, #11 wasn't released until September, and #12 still (as of December 2023) hasn't been released and doesn't even have a solicit on Image's website. And since #12 wraps up Arc 2, that means trade-waiters still don't have any idea of when they can expect the second book.. Nate Bellegarde took the blame for the first long delay (see Creator Breakdown), but since being replaced, it seems Eric Stephenson's editor role at Image and everyone else's increase in projects has dragged things to a halt.
