Just a completely gorgeous adaptation of the Gaiman novel. I've never read Mike Carey's comic work before, but I'm a massive fan of Fabry's art, so when I saw this, I had to get it.

Carey brought just the right amount of wonder and awe to the dialogue, just as Gaiman does. And Fabry's art is fantastic enough to bring the wonder, yet realistic and detailed enough to make it feel like it's right beside our world.

Overall, just a really good effort from all the players, and a really enjoyable read. ( )

Prilično loša adaptacija, ne toliko što se tiče samog scenarija koji je nekih 80% veran originalnoj Gejmanovoj priči, već moje zamerke idu na račun samog crteža. Crtež je loš, likovi su ružnjikavi, pozadine su prazne i monotone. Preovlađuju nijanse nebesko-plave boje što direktno utiče na građenje atmosfere koja je mahom odsutna. Neki delovi priče su zamenjeni jeftinim i prepoznatljivim klišeima. Promene u samoj priči su primetnije od polovine stripa ka kraju, a stičem i utisak da je zbrzan u tom delu. Nije se mnogo radilo na karakterizaciji samih likova, koji su od početka do kraja plitki, bez duše.

Preporučujem čitanje originalne Gejmanove novele, ali ovu adaptaciju ne preporučujem. Ovo je moglo biti odrađeno mnogo, mnogo bolje. ( )

A good recap of the story which captures all the plot elements of the original novel, and brought to life by the full colour illustrations. The depictions of the London underground stations and tube trains are particulrly memorable. Recomend you read the novel first as Neil Gaiman's text is extreemely worth reading, and this graphic novel serves as an appreciation. ( )

I've read Neverwhere as a book, seen the british tv version and just read it as a graphic novel. I think the book on its own is still my favorite. The graphic novel was well done, but I don't care for the style of the artist (personal thing) so I didn't feel like it added a lot to the story. ( )

Não achei aqui para marcar a edição em português-br, que ficou "Lugar Nenhum", mas de qualquer forma foi a edição que li. Ou melhor, a que terminei de ler, já que comecei a comprar na época em que foi lançada em partes. Só não me recordo se ela parou de ser publicada (provável) ou eu parei de comprar. De qualquer modo, está lida e gostei bastante. Esse foi um presente fantástico que ganhei do querido Artur Vecchi
A tradução dos nomes de alguns personagens/locais me surpreendeu, pq conheço alguns daqueles locais e me causou algum estranhamento. Por outro lado, nem todo mundo é obrigado a entender trocadilhos (e tb nem todo mundo morou em Londres). Assim, as notas da edição guiam o leitor e solucionam a questão. Adorei mesmo o fato da região de Islington ser citada, sobretudo pq eu passava pela Angel tube station para ir para balada gótica com uma certa regularidade. Será que os porões da 'Slimelight' tem um acesso para a Londres de baixo? Aposto que o Neil Gaiman sabe a resposta! :D

A arte do Fabry está muito boa, funciona bem para a história. Enfim, se vc gosta das loucuras do universo Vertigo, vale investir nesse hardcover. ( )
