Product Description

Metro (April, 2007)

A rattling escapist romp!


Product Description

There are two Londons. London Above is our 'normal' world, and London Below, deep underground, is where the Black Friars and the Hammer Smith live alongside the rat-speakers, and the Earl's Court forever travels the Circle line...Now, Richard Mayhew's normal life will disappear as he's plunged into London Below, thanks to a young streetkid called Door, herself on the run from a deadly plot. Can they survive? Not if Richard's nightmares about crossing Night's Bridge come true...Acclaimed writer Mike Carey (Lucifer) and master artist Glenn Fabry (Preacher) bring "New York Times" No. 1 bestselling author Neil Gaiman's urban fantasy to vivid life!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comic treatment, 17 Sep 2007
By Richard Kelly (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Many years ago Neil Gaiman wrote a TV Series that ran on BBC2, and from that he wrote a book. These were both about a fictional London that lives within the cracks of the existing and is inhabited by a host of magical creatures, people, wierdos etc. It followed the story of Door who tries to get revenge for the murder of her family, and Richard who slips between the gap between the two Londons and joins Door on her quest.

The book is good but flawed in places, the TV series is the same - both have that unique Gaiman touch. This comic is basically a retelling of the novel in comic format, but this time the comic treatment is written by Mike Carey. Now I like Mike Carey and I like Neil Gaiman so this should be a match made in heaven.

In the end it is pretty good, all the bits that are annoying in the book are there. Unfortunately some of the elements of the book that make Neil's prose sparkle have had to be cut, and whilst this is sad it is understandable. I'm giving it 8/10

If you like the novel and like comics then give this ago, it is a worth while addition to anyones Carey/Gaimen collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 2 May 2007
By Gavin Schofield (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a huge fan of the Book, I picked this up the second I saw it. I didn't expect it to be as good as the book, but it is.

Possibly the best Graphic Novel I've ever read. Buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Neil Gaiman's" Neverwhere, My Arse, 9 Jan 2009
By E. Saul "SalieriTheFish" (Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The sheer discrepancy between the TV series & book and this monstrosity is like the discrepancy between a decent meal before you ate it and after you vomited it out. Dialogue and descriptions of character's appearance are either snipped away or chucked out of the window, or - as with the new, racist interpretation of the Marquis de Carabas' 'dark face' - taken in completely the wrong direction. The saving grace would be Fabry's art - except that he throws out any of the darker, shadowier aspects of Londons above or below in favour of a multi-rainbow approach that looks as if it were done with pastels and burns the surface of the reader's retinas.

Future Comic Book Editors, heed well the warning of this book. If you want to adapt a book into a graphic novel - most especially one by a guy who is very good at writing graphic novels - don't rush it out. Wait until he, and an artist who can work well with him, is less busy. But DON'T hand it over to a couple of mediocre hacks and then untruthfully slap the original author's name on the cover as a hook for new readers. Because what you get is...well...this.
