As Julia struggles with the reaction to her podcast and Ben's investigation hits yet another wall, a shocking development in the case of Richard Roe threatens to upend everything-and may bring NO/ONE even closer to the light.

PLUS! The story continues in "Who is No/One," a monthly companion podcast starring RACHAEL LEIGH COOK (She's All That) and PATTON OSWALT (Netflix's The Sandman, Minor Threats, Marvel's M.O.D.O.K.)!

NO/ONE is a Massive-Verse series.

    When the creative team does make the switch to the action, it operates on a similar level, using its various elements of craft to reinforce core ideas and necessary parts of the suspect list. NO/ONE #5 continues to be a wide-reaching, but hyper-focused exploration of vigilantism and journalism in a community. It shows that the creative team has the means, motive, and opportunity to tell a rich, compelling story that leads the audience to want more. Read Full Review

    COMICON - Tom Smithyman Aug 22, 2023

    No/One #5 is one of the best entries in this limited series, save for a single panel that is so jarring that it disrupts the entire reading experience. One-third of a single page shouldn't carry that much weight, but when the rest of the book is so good, all it takes is a single flaw to disrupt everything. Read Full Review

    With each passing issue Kyle Higgins, Brian Buccellato, and Geraldo Borges' No/One gets better and better. No/One #5 is yet another example of that as the title character steals the show while Julia Paige and Ben Kern continue their own parallel arcs. Everything comes together for yet another can't miss comic book. Read Full Review

    Good God, not enough people are talking about this amazing series.

    No/One #5 continues the story as its been going, both the comic and the podcast. Last months podcast dropped a HUGE bombshell and this issue throws all presumptions into doubt in interesting and engaging ways.

    I got to talk to the writer Kyle Higgins before this issue released, and I asked him if the identify of No/One was able to be unearthed by readers or if it was a complete fakeout. He told me it's possible this issue may send you down the right path.

    Well; this issue opened up a lot of potential paths, and no definitive answers, but its darn good.

    It also features one of the best action sequences in any comic I've read this y more

    Absolutely agree with other reviewers that not enough people are reading this book.

    You want good crime drama? Higgins delivers.

    I honestly thought this would go another direction, but the twist at the start and how it unfolds really throws everything into chaos. I also love how now I can say that whoever no/one is, they are very human (remember this takes place Higgins superhero universe). They dont easily win battles (when they do fight them), and tire like any other person does.

    Also every character is written so well. The writing room banter at the start where some people just throw out idiotic ideas that get shot down instantly it quite funny. The tone of this book is well paced and enjoyable.
