“Quay is a bookseller gaunt,
tired and worn out by the dreary customers who thrive on romance novels
and idealess stories. By headache Quay becomes the Nerve, a superhero whose
very strength is his pain – his own body a weapon. He is a migraine incarnate.

    The Nerve
and his companions Useless Floating Baby, the Spectacle, Blinder aka the
Gap, & Crisis Girl fight against dark forces conspiring to drive humanity
into zombie mediocrity; a beige age. The Nerve & Co must use their
abilities to overcome a swath of foes General Anaesthetic, the Segregator,
Dr Frail, The Passerby and the Nerve’s greatest threat Solace, in order
to thwart the sinister plotting of arch villain, LeBlank.”
