![]() The plot, which is almost incomprehensible in the first two issues, is as follows, according to Image: “A massive asteroid named Xibalba-the “Place of Fear” in Mayan mythology-is on collision course with the planet Earth. The nameless protagonist, like the reader, is never able to tell nightmare from reality, and the comic’s effect is disorienting, even bordering on uncomfortable. As it approaches, Xibalba demonstrates a psychic hold over those on earth and over the astronauts who explore it. The story follows a nameless occult hustler brought on to analyze a huge asteroid, Xibalba, hurtling toward the earth. It’s a non-linear, trippy comic fully indebted to its form, frightening because of the way comics are: silent, private, and full of small spaces between panels in which anything could happen. ![]() What’s more, Nameless is not a horror comic in the same vein as The Walking Dead or Outcast. ![]()
