secret experiment to find themselves in a completely unfamiliar world. During

Parallel (7-12). [From Dark Horse Comics:
Six months have passed since the events that brought the Next Men from the
Greenery into the everyday world—six months spent training and testing
their unique powers. Now Jack, Bethany, Nathan, and Jasmine are sent on
their first mission, to the former U.S.S.R. to confront their counterparts,
a handful of super-powered Russian mutates—and a ghost from their past.
And Danny, left behind for his own safety, goes on a quest of his own --
for his mother. ] 
3
Fame (13-18). [From Dark Horse Comics: One
minute you're running in the shadows, a complete stranger in an uncaring
world. The next you're in the spotlight, and everyone wants a piece of you.
And they'll slowly pick you apart, piece by piece, until you've nothing
left to give. That's how Fame works, as you'll find out in this third volume
chronicling the saga of John Byrne's Next Men. When the Next Men are thrust
into the spotlight of stardom by a publicity-hungry comics publisher, a
lone sherriff believes the super-powered teens can shed some light on the
grisly murders in his small Arizona town. From unknowns to celebrities to
fugitives, the Next Men take the roller-coaster ride of a lifetime and find
that it falls short of an E ticket!] 
4
Faith (19-22). [From Dark Horse Comics: The
first appearance of Mike Mignola's Hellboy is just the icing on the cake
in John Byrne's Next Men: Faith! The Next Men, having been falsely convicted
of murder, break out of jail and go underground...literally. They head for
the abandoned subway tunnels of New York and find them less abandoned than
everyone thought, filled with a secret community of homeless people. But
they can't stay hidden forever, and when the government's forces finally
track down the Next Men it becomes both an exercise in survival and a lesson
in betrayal. ] 
5
Power (23-26). [From Dark Horse Comics: The
power to move mountains; the power to challenge armies; the power to atomize
an entire city. One young woman gains absolute power, the kind that makes
real anything she wishes. With that kind of power, she could destroy the
world. But she doesn't want to destroy it; she wants to control it. Can
the genetically enhanced Next Men reel her back in, or will mankind fall
to her megalomaniacal whims?] 
6
Lies (27-30). [From Dark Horse Comics: The
Next Men awoke from a virtual-reality paradise to escape from the evil Senator
Hilltop and have been running and looking for answers ever since. But what
happens when one Next Man wakes up again? Jasmine awakes to another reality,
one in which Bethany likes the fast lane, Jack likes guys, and she is supposed
to like her husband—Hilltop! Another serpentine chapter of intrigue
unfolds for the super-powered Next Men, as Jasmine tries to determine what
is the truth, and what is Lies. This four-issue series, collected for the
first time, weaves the loose plot lines into a startling tapestry and ends
the first chapter of the Next Men with a bang!]
