John Byrne’s Next Men 0-30 (plus 2112, not the Rush album)
John Byrne’s Next Men (also simply Next Men or JBNM) is a comic book series written and drawn by John Byrne. It ran 31 issues (#0-30) plus a standalone prequel, 2112. The series was published between 1991 and 1995 by Dark Horse Comics.
Along with its late-1980s/early-1990s contemporaries such as Watchmen, JBNM was a deconstruction of the superhero genre, positing a world with nascent superhumans and considering how they would impact the world in fairly realistic terms, for the genre.
The series ended with a cliffhanger in #30. Byrne had intended to conclude the story in a second series, but the collapse of the American comic book industry in the mid-1990s made it financially unfeasible for him to do so, and he returned to working for hire at DC Comics and Marvel Comics. As of 2006 it is not known whether the Next Men story will ever be concluded.
JBNM has been collected as a set of graphic novels:
